Because Yujing, Yuxu, Yuhua three peaks like the Taoist Yuqing, upper Qing, Taiqing three revered gods sitting on the top of the mountain named. among Okgyongbong For the highest, 1819.9 meters above sea level, is the fifth highest peak in Jiangxi and the highest peak of Huaiyu Mountains, is also Xinjiang The source. Sanqing Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain. World Natural Heritage Site , Global geopark , National natural heritage , National geopark , National AAAAA tourist attraction . [24]
The main body of Sanqing Mountain is 12.2 kilometers long from north to south and 6.3 kilometers wide from east to west. The plane is shaped like a lotus leaf and slopes from southeast to northwest. The Huaiyushan tectonic block unit is located in the junction zone of the Yangtze and Cathaysian plates in the southeast of the Eurasian plate. Located in the hinterland of Huaiyu Mountains, it is a Zhongshan terrain dominated by granite structural erosion. The mountains are steep in the east, south and west, and slow in the north. From the foot of the mountain to the top, the horizontal distance is 5km, and the altitude increases from 200m to 1816m [1] .
The granite microgeomorphology of different origin is densely distributed in Sanqing Mountain, showing the most densely distributed and diversified peak forest among the known granite geomorphology in the world. 2,373 species of higher plants and 1,728 species of wild animals make up East Asia's biodiversity environment; The history of Taoism for more than 1600 years has given rise to rich Taoist cultural connotations. The ancient building complex of the Sanqing Palace in accordance with the eight trigrams has been evaluated by the cultural relics research Group of The State Council as "the open-air museum of ancient Chinese Taoist architecture".

Evolutionary history

EDITOR
The first sea flood in Sanqing Mountain occurred 1.4 billion years ago Middle Proterozoic . At that time, the crustal movement in the Sanqingshan area was in the "geosynclinal" subsidence stage, and the sea water was immersed for 400 million years and deposited thousands of meters thick Shuangqiao Mountain Group The flysch Marine clastic rocks are intermingled with submarine volcanic eruptions. In "... Jinning movement After that, the geosynclinal subsidence history ended, the crust began to gradually return and rise, the water became land, and the Sanqingshan area entered a relatively stable "platform" stage. One billion years ago, Sanqingshan area became an island arc in the South China Ocean, 900-850 million years ago, the ocean basin disappeared, the Yangtze plate collided with the Cathaysian plate, Sanqingshan area is just in the ancient plate junction zone. Since the Mesozoic era, the continental A-type subduction and extension laid the geological structure and geographical framework, which provided the superior geological environment for the formation of granite geological landform, the multiplication of organisms and the development of human beings in Sanqingshan.
Sanqing Mountain
About 900 million years ago, the Yangtze plate collided with the Chinese plate and became a part of the Rodinia supercontinent, leaving precious remnants of the ancient oceanic crust, namely ophiolitic melanomie belt (968 million years) and lambolite schist (8.66±0.14 million years), which is an important witness of the ancient plate collision and Jinning orogeny. When the Rodinia supercontinent broke apart 8.3 to 800 million years ago, Sanqingshan was located in the transitional zone between the Yangtze continental plate and the South China Rift Basin, forming Marine Molar-flysch and bipeak volcanic formations. In the early Southern Chinese period, the area was in the sedimentary environment of littoral and epicontinental sea, mainly composed of clastic sediments. Then "snowball event" appeared, leaving the remains of ancient glacial activity - Nantuo Formation moraines.
In the Sinian period, the continental crust basically consolidated, the climate warmed, and the ice and snow melted. At the end of the Sinian period, the second sea immersion occurred, and the sea water was submerged for 160 million years, which continued until Ordovician period In the late period, a shallow Marine sand shale and carbonate rock with a thickness of more than 4000 meters, and containing Marine fossils such as trilobites, graptolites and sponges, deposited a set of shallow Marine argillaceous siliceous and carbonate formations. After the "Caledonian First Act" orogeny at the end of Ordovician period, Sanqing Mountain was completely removed from the seawater environment and no longer received deposits. In the early Silurian period 440 million years ago, although the third sea flood occurred, the sea water only reached the southeastern edge of Sanqing Mountain. More than 200 million years ago, Sanqingshan ended its long maritime history and began to enter a new stage of inland development. 180 million years ago, Jurassic Period Late and The Cretaceous Period Exceptionally strong orogeny occurred in the Sanqingshan region, that is, Yanshanian movement, accompanied by large-scale acidic magma immersion activities, thus laying the geological foundation of the Sanqingshan landscape. Mesozoic is an important period of granite formation and mountain formation in Sanqingshan, and it is also the foundation period of granite geology, granite landform and granite ecology. Since then, changes in the Cenozoic era have created the peculiar granite landscape and unique ecosystem of today.
Evolution of double-sided weathering crust in Sanqingshan [3]
After the Triassic Indosinian movement, Sanqing Mountain and its adjacent areas were complex syncline with relatively low terrain in the continent. Since then, the basin landform pattern seen today has gradually formed.
During the early stage of the Mid-Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous basin range, due to the interaction between the Eurasian plate and the paleo-Pacific plate, a strong Yanshanian intracontinental orogeny occurred in the region. With the intracontinental subduction of the deep fault in northeast Jiangxi, a northest-trending Sanqing granite base was formed, and the Huaiyu Mountains began to show a compression type "mid-depression uplift" type low uplift and gradually weak denudation occurred. Continental basins appear on both sides. At that time, ancient Eurasia, including Sanqing Mountain, and ancient North America were connected.
In the late Cretaceous basin-range extensional forming stage and the Himalayan stage, the crust was strongly extended after orogeny, and large-scale faulting occurred. The Huaiyu Mountains are rapidly uplifted and strongly denuded, and the granite is exposed to the surface, with an estimated denudation thickness of about 4000-5000m. The red clastic rock depression basin is formed by the unbalanced fault depression on both sides of the mountain. The northern basin is small in scale, and the southern Xinjiang fault depression basin is large in scale, and the red clastic rock accumulation thickness is 2000-3000m. There is a great contrast between the mountain and the basin. Huaiyu Mountains is the main formative period. The Eurasian and North American continents began to separate. The slow change period of basin range from Paleogene to Neogene was a relatively dormant period after strong crustal extension, with weak mountain denudation, basin shrinkage and lack of sediment.
During the Quaternary basin-ridge reconstruction period, the crust rose slowly in a wavy shape, and there were 3 orders in the upper part of Huaiyu Mountains and Sanqing Lake near the foothills Planation surface The Xinjiang River Valley forms 3 terraces. From Huaiyushan Mountain range and foothills to Xinjiang Basin, the crustal uplift decreases successively. At the same time, the differential lifting action occurs along the partial fracture. Sanqing Mountain is controlled by the three positive faults surrounding it, and slowly rises again. Under the background of the uplift of Huaiyu Mountain, the "uplift on uplift" is formed, which becomes the highest peak of Huaiyu Mountain Range and also the landscaping period of Sanqing Mountain forest landscape [1] .

Regional stratum

The stratum in Sanqingshan area is from Proterozoic eon There are different degrees of exposure in quaternary strata. It includes Zhangcun Group, Heshangzhen Group, Nanhua System, Sinian system, Paleozoic system, Mesozoic system and so on.
Geotectonic location map of Sanqingshan region [1]
The Zhangchun Group of Mesoproterozoic, located in the northern part of Sanqingshan, is an ocean basin island arc ophiolitic melanomy, composed of shallow metamorphic spilitite, quartz keratophyre, volcanic tuffe-argillaceous turbidite deposits, and a large number of ophiolitic blocks. The Neoproterozoic is mainly located in the northern part of Sanqingshan, and its lower part is the Heshangzhen Group, with shallow metamorphic sandstone and slates mainly sandwiched with rift-type bipeak volcanic rocks (basalt and rhyolite), which is not integrated above the Zhangcun Group. In the middle is the South China system Marine clastic rock, moraine conglomerate with limestone; The upper part is Sinian siliceous rock and carbonate rock.
The Paleozoic is mainly distributed in and around the Sanqingshan Mountain. The Cambrian is mainly composed of carbonate rocks with mud and siliceous shale, and the bottom is black shale. The Ordovician is dominated by shale and contains abundant graptolite fossils. Silurian is argillaceous clastic rock; The Devonian system consists of sandy conglomerate, quartz sandstone and silty shale, which are often not integrated above the pre-Devonian system. Carboniferous and Permian are carbonate rocks. The Mesozoic is dominated by Jurassic and Cretaceous.
The Triassic is distributed locally, with carbonate rocks and shale in the middle and lower part and coal-bearing clastic rocks in the upper part, which are often not integrated with the early strata. The Jurassic system emerged in the margin of the Mesozoic basin outside the Sanqing Mountains. The lower part was light colored sandstone, the middle part was mixed colored sand shale with silicified wood fossils, and the upper part was continental volcanic complex. The Cretaceous is distributed in the Mesozoic continental basin outside the Sanqing Mountains, mainly composed of red and variegated clastic rock series, the lower part is continental pyroclastic rock, and the upper part contains dinosaur eggs and dinosaur bones.
The quaternary system is only developed in the Cenozoic, and the distribution is limited, mainly distributed in the gully depression and flat land, mainly in alluvial clay, sub-clay, sand gravel or gravel clay [1] .

Rock composition

The magmatic rocks in Sanqingshan area are active frequently and widely distributed. The magmatic rocks are mainly ultra-acidic intrusive rocks, that is, the Sanqingshan granite mass formed in the late Yanshan period (part of Huaiyushan rock mass), which forms the main body of Sanqingshan Mountain. Sanqingshan granite body is located in the central part of Sanqingshan mountain, its plane shape is irregular, and the surface area of the mountain is about 98km 2 . The granite intrudes into the Southern Chinese - Ordovician strata on the southern flank of the Huangtuling complex anticline. It is produced in the form of bedrock and rock strain, and the intrusion contact line is irregular, in the form of waves, harbours or branches, and the contact surface is inclined to the surrounding rock. The inner contact zone shows a dense and hard fine crystal condensation edge 1~3cm wide, and the residual roof is common in the rock mass with shallow denudation degree. The outer contact zone has strong thermal contact metamorphism, forming a thermal contact metamorphism halo more than 500~2000 meters wide. The primary flow structure in the rock mass is not developed, and the successor dyke is developed, mainly including granite aplite, pegmatite, granite porphyry, diorite porphyrite and gabbro diabase dyke. There are many dark minerals with different sizes and irregular forms in the rock mass, which are relatively rich in diorite inclusions. Surrounding rock alteration mainly includes skarn, silicification and chlorite. The main mineral components of rock mass are potassium feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, biotite Let's wait.
In Sanqingshan granite, there are often more diorite inclusions with different sizes and irregular forms, which are relatively rich in dark minerals. The granite complex is obviously controlled by the NE-trending fault structure, but the intrusive contact boundary is irregular, the residual cap is developed, the exposure width of the external contact thermal metamorphism is large, the primary flow structure is not obvious, and the oxidation coefficient of the rock is 0.47 on average. The main intrusive rock mass in the granite base is divided into three phase zones, the marginal phase is fine-grained porphyritic kali-feldspar, the transition phase is medium-grained to medium-coarse-grained kali-feldspar, and the central phase is coarse-grained kali-feldspar only found in the gully, and the residual ceiling of the surrounding rock is more, indicating that the degree of rock denudation is shallow. The emplacement depth of the granite is estimated to be between 4000 and 4500m.
  • lithofacies
The major intrusions of Sanqingshan granite can be divided into three phases, namely:
Marginal facies: Lithology is fine-grained (micro-fine-grained - mottled) porphyritic biotite monzonitic granite;
Transitional phase: The lithology is medium-fine grained porphyritic biotite potassium feldspar granite.
Internal facies: The lithology is medium coarse-grained porphyritic biotite potassium feldspar granite.
The three zones do not form a concentric ring shape on the plane, especially the internal mutually irregular distribution, which is caused by the greater changes in the tectonic stress field in the process of magma upinvasion, the more volatile environment of magma condensation and crystallization, and the uneven degree of topographic cutting and denudation after the crust rise.
  • Internal structure of granite mass
In the interior of the Sanqingshan granite body, two vertical joints mainly develop, one is NORtheast-Northeast-Northeast-trending and the other is Northeast-trending, which form a chessboard pattern. These joint fissure structures have tension-shear characteristics, thin density, high strength, long extension, deep cutting, zonal output, which is the main control transformation of Sanqingshan granite landscape. In addition, a group of near-horizontal joints also developed in the area, which together formed a fracture network, which formed a variety of unique landscapes through erosion, denudation and weathering. The structural trace of joint can be seen in most of the peak forest landscape. From southwest to northeast, the former has an overall trend from convergence to dispersion, forming a broom like output in the macro, developing on a large scale, and often showing a zonal distribution in space. It is the main structure controlling the western peak wall (Xihai Heavy Wall, Nine-day Great Wall, etc.) and the southern canyon (Fushou Gate, one-line sky, etc.). The latter generally moves to the northwest, turns slightly to the south and east, and its scale gradually increases from the north to the south, and shows a zonal output, which is the main structure controlling the central peak column, the south and east peak wall and some canyons. In addition, a group of near-horizontal joints is also developed in the granite, which is the main structure of the sculpted stone landscape, that is, the peak wall, peak column and other landscapes are cut by the horizontal joints and washed by weathering denudation, forming a variety of unique landscapes [1] .

Fold structure

It is distributed in the northwest and northeast of the Sanqing Mountains, and is composed of Nanhua - Silurian sedimentary cover. In the region, the fold of the last period is often covered by stratigraphic unconformity since Jurassic, so it is inferred that the fold is IndoChinese. The main ones are:
(1) Huangtuling Complex anticline: Located in the northwest part of Sanqing Mountain, Huangtuling Complex anticline is a part of the regional Huangtuling complex anticline. Its axis runs to the northeast, the folds dip to the northeast and spread to the southwest, extending for about 15km in the area. The axial plane is nearly upright, the occurrence of the two wings is more disordered, the occurrence of the north west wing is steeper, which is 300~350°∠30~75°, and the south east wing attitude Relatively slow, 120~150°∠30~60°. The core stratum is Nanhua Period The wing strata are composed of Sinian-Ordovician strata. The southern flank is widely exposed and often forms some secondary anticline structures.
(2) Huameishan syncline: distributed in the northeast of Sanqing Mountain, its axis runs northest-southwest, its southwest end starts from the side of Huaiyushan rock mass, and its northeast end extends from the source to the region, the axis runs 67°, the northwest wing is slightly steeper, the dip Angle is 40°~60°, and the southeast wing is slower, the dip Angle is 30°~50°. The core stratum is the Early Ordovician Yinzhubu Formation, and the wing part is composed of the late Cambrian stratum [1] .

Faulted structure

A fault zone in Sanqingshan granite [3]
The fault structure in this area is very developed, and the fault direction is mainly NE, followed by NE and NW. From the formation time, the NE fault was formed first, followed by NE, and the NW fault zone was formed late. The main fault structures include normal faults and reverse faults. The main faults are Fenglin-Zihuzhen fault zone, Xiaokeng-Bajiaowu fault and Bajiaowu-Xiaxiceng fault, which form fault valleys and cut the main part of Sanqingshan into a "triangular block mountain" with normal fault nature.
(1) Fenglin-Zihuzhen granite fault: located in the southeast of Sanqingshan, it is composed of several faults extending 50°~60° to the northeast, with a dip to the southeast and a dip Angle of 60°. It rises in the north west and falls in the south east. Along the fault, there are cleaved and slatted zones formed by early shear activity and fault breccia zones formed by late activity, which are 10~40m wide and are multi-stage active faults. Such as linear gully, "knee" shaped extension of the water system.
(2) Egongling-Xiaxiceng granite fault: located in the east-northeast of Sanqingshan, it strikes northwest and dips northeast, with an inclination of 65°~70°. Its south-west plate rises and North-East plate drops. Stratified granites and structural breccia are developed on the fault plane. The rocks are strongly silicified and the minerals are recrystallized. Quartz crystal clusters and agate are seen. The fault valley landform is formed along the fault, and the fault scarp formed by silicification zone can be seen intermittenously in the southeast section.
(3) Xiaokeng - Bajiaowu granite fault: located in the northwest of Sanqingshan, it strikes northeast and leans northwest with an inclination of 70°, cutting off the northeast fault, which rises in the south east and falls in the north west. Tectonic breccia, silicified rock and cataclastic rock are developed along faults. Fault valley landform is formed along the main fault strike [1] .

Geomorphic type

Sanqing Mountain is steep in the east, south and west, gentle in the north, with a great difference in elevation. On the whole, Dongpo from Jinsha to Okgyongbong The western slope from Hengtan, Fenshui to Yujing Peak is just two adjacent concave spheres, which are combined with the convex sphere in the south to form a peculiar landform of towering clouds and cascading peaks. The east slope is gentler than the west slope, and the south slope is gentler than the east slope. The rocks that make up the main body of Sanqing Mountain are the late Yanshan granite, among which the granite of the margin phase and the transition phase are the main rocks that make up the peaks of Sanqing Mountain, and the granite near the bottom of the mountain is mostly the middle coarse-grained porphyritic and porphyritic biotite granite of the inner phase, which is easy to weather and denudate, so it forms a slightly slow terrain.
  • landform
The basic landform of Sanqing Mountain can be divided into two types: mountain and hill, and the mountain can be divided into Zhongshan and mountain Low mountain Two subclasses, hills can be divided into two subclasses of high hills and low hills.
  • Genetic type
According to the main force of geomorphology development, the genetic types of Sanqingshan geomorphology are structural erosion and water erosion geomorphology, which can be divided into four types, namely, structural erosion of zhongshan geomorphology, structural erosion of low mountain geomorphology, water erosion and denudation of high hill geomorphology and water erosion and denudation of low hill geomorphology [1] .

Unit zoning

  • Geomorphic form type unit division
According to the characteristics of morphological quantity (specific height and percentage of released area), the granite landform of Sanqingshan can be divided into the following four geomorphic regions:
(1) Strong mid-cut Zhongshan geomorphic area: Yujing Peak as the center, from its southwest Yungai peak has been extended to its northeast Dawutou area belong to this geomorphic area, 1000~1800m above sea level, more than 1000m mountains also account for 1/3 of the total area of the mountain, cutting depth of hundreds of meters to more than 1,000 meters, cutting degree >50%.
(2) Strong shallow cut low mountain geomorphologic area: Egongling - Wangshan, Shanghengtan - Dayuanwu, Jiuqiangdi - Shangxikeng and other places belong to this geomorphologic area, with an altitude of 500~1000m, cutting depth of 100~500m, and cutting degree of 50%.
(3) Weak shallow cut high hill geomorphology area: distributed in Fenglin, Zhongkeng, Shuangxi, Fenshui and other places, elevation 300~500m, only a few hills more than 500m, cutting depth of 100~200m, cutting degree <20%. The slope is relatively slow, the gully is short and shallow, in the shape of V, and the ridge runs east-west, and the shape is rounded.
(4) Weak shallow cut low hill geomorphic area: the range is small, distributed in the southern geopark Fenglin, Zhongkeng area, elevation of 200~300m, cutting depth of 60~150m, cutting degree <20%. The gully is short and shallow, and the top of the hill is rounded.
  • Geomorphic landscape type unit division
Based on the main features of one or several landform landmarks, Sanqing Mountain can be divided into four types of landform units:
(1) The geomorphic unit with peak forest as the main body: the central area of Sanqingshan Scenic spot, including Nanqing Garden scenic spot, Yujing Peak scenic spot and Wanshou Garden Scenic spot, covers an area of about 6km 2 The altitude is generally >1000m, the cutting depth is hundreds of meters to more than 1,000 meters, and the cutting degree is more than 50%. In this area, the geological remains of peak forest are mainly developed. From Yujing Peak to the east, its peak forest landform is generally in a ladder shape from high to low, and the stone peak form in the peak forest has a height from tens to hundreds of meters.
(2) Valley, cliff, (mountain) Fengyu combination geomorphic units: mainly distributed in the Donggujian - Ma Beishan - Jigong Shi Jian - Yangqing bridge - Fengmen - Bingyu Cave - Shangxikeng area, the elevation is generally 500~1000m, in this area, canyons, cliffs, peaks and forests are developed, with the appearance of the three coexist. The canyons in the area vary in direction, the length of the canyons is generally 1km to several kilometers, the plane shape of the canyons are linear, some are curved, and the transverse section of the canyons are mostly deep and narrow V-shaped, the rock walls on both sides of the canyons are generally steeper, and the common cliff appears, the cliff height is from 100 meters to hundreds of meters, and the peak forest landform is often visible.
(3) Geomorphic units dominated by canyons: It is mainly distributed in the area of Xihengtan-Dayuanwu-Fangtang-Jinsha, with an altitude of 500~1000m above sea level, and mainly developed canyons of various trends, the length of canyons ranges from 1km to ten kilometers. Some of the plane forms of canyons are linear, some are curved, and the transverse section of canyons are mostly deep and narrow V-shaped, and the rock walls on both sides of the canyons are generally steep. The height of the canyon varies from 100m to several hundred metres.
(4) Geomorphic units mainly composed of gravel accumulation: distributed in Pingxi, Fenglin, Fenshui, Jinsha and other places, with an elevation of less than 450m, they are typical intermountain depression. Due to the accumulation of Quaternary flood alluvial pebbles, large gravel with a diameter of 10~15m is frequently seen in the depression, and the largest gravel diameter is 30m, with good roundings. For example, the "fairy drive stone" located in Pingxi is a typical Quaternary pebble accumulation landform. In addition, Sanqing Fudi is also a typical mountain depression, 1450m above sea level, the depression area of 100 mu, which also has quaternary pebble accumulation [1] .

Geomorphic landscape

  • Granite microgeomorphic landscape
The microgeomorphic landscape types of granite peak forest in Sanqing Mountain mainly include peaks, peak walls, Peak cluster , Stone forest , peak pillar, Stone cone , Rock wall , gully There are 9 types of granite rock landscape, which are the key areas to study the formation and evolution of granite microgeomorphology. In the core scenic area of 3780 hectares, there are 48 Qifeng, Molding stone 89 places, scenery, landscape more than 384 places, can be called the world's natural museum of granite microlandform. Rich in stone scenery, mainly for structural erosion, erosion of the formation of stone scenery, stone eggs are very few, of which "Oriental goddess", "python out of the mountain" two iconic landscape, for the world's "stunning".
The microgeomorphic morphology of Sanqingshan granite is not only varied, but also the main stages of its formation and evolution have preserved typical type characteristics and systemically complete remains. The form type is relatively complete. Among them, there are six categories of the rarest: granite peaks, granite peak walls, granite peak clusters, granite stone forests, granite peak columns, granite stone cones.
On the peaks, peaks, peaks, peaks, peaks and columns, due to weathering denudation, erosion and non-uniform collapse and spherical weathering, a number of beautiful stone shapes with certain image significance have been formed, which can be further divided into two types from the origin.
One is the granite shaped stone formed by weathering denudation, the number is small, and the typical examples are spherical stone (gourd stone) and turtle shaped stone (turtle exploration).
The second is the granite shaped stone formed by erosion, erosion and uneven collapse, such as sharp horn stone (Xianren now refers to, Xiangu drying shoes, rhino stone, crane Shou ding, snail play pine) and some stone scenery with unique forms (fox eating chicken, Ge Hong Altan, leopard cat waiting for mice, Lao Zhuang Daoism).
  • Waterfalls, blue pools, springs
Sanqing Mountain has abundant rainfall, abundant water, runoff development, and many waterfalls. There are 8 main waterfalls, the elevation is generally 500~1000m, mainly distributed in the lower part of the mountain, the drop is generally 10~30m, several meters wide to tens of meters. Most of the waterfalls have the characteristics of "three-layer structure", that is, there is a "stone gate" shaped water outlet at the upper end, the main body of the hanging rock waterfall in the middle, and there is often a beautiful blue pool at the bottom. The genetic types of waterfalls are generally divided into fault type and erosion type, such as eight 磜 Longtan waterfall, jade curtain waterfall, stone stream waterfall, Bingyu cave waterfall and so on.
Sanqingshan blue Tan more connected with streams, waterfalls, clear green. Bitan area more than tens of square meters, several meters deep. The formation of Bitan is the result of internal and external geological forces, mostly appearing in the intersection of geological structural faults and joints, and formed by the continuous erosion and erosion of surface water, such as Shigu Tan, Jade Girl Tan, Five colors Jasper Tan, etc.
Due to the development of a large number of mesh-like fractures in the Sanqingshan granite body, a large amount of tectonic fracture water exists. In addition, Sanqing Mountain has a lot of rain, low temperature, slow water evaporation, dense forests, and the infiltration of structural fissure water, forming many seasonal descending springs. Its water is pure, cold, sweet and delicious, such as ancient Danjing, Luquan well, Yuan Spring, Yumen Spring and so on [1] .

Historical evolution
Ge Hong
According to historical records, during the Shengping period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (357-361), Ge Hong and Li Shangshu went up to Sanqing Mountain and wrote books on Sanqing Mountain. To this day, the remains of the Danjing well and the alchemy furnace dug by Ge Hong remain on the mountain. In particular, Danjing, lasting more than a thousand years, is still not dry all year round, its water Wang pure taste sweet, is called "fairy well" by later generations. So Gehong became the "founder of Sanqing Mountain".
Taoism prospered in the Tang Dynasty, and Taoism in Sanqing Mountain also prospered, and pilgrims came to the mountain in an endless stream. Taoist monks built the first Taoist building on Sanqing Mountain, Laozi Gong Guan (this view is called "Sanqing Blessed Land"). The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty believed in Taoism, which promoted the trend of social worship. A group of Taoist buildings began to appear in the area of Sanqing Mountain, including Gexian Temple, in which the stone statues of Gexian Weng and Li Shangshu were worshipped. There are also Fuqing Temple, Lingji Temple and so on. In particular, it is worth mentioning that on the cliff of Tianmen Peak with natural granite carved into a six-story five-sided wind and thunder tower, this tower through thousands of years of wind and rain, so far stands firm, known as the Sanqing Mountain Taoist architecture in a shining pearl.
In the Yuan Dynasty, there appeared Taoist priests who believed in Quanzhen school on Sanqing Mountain, but more of them still belonged to Zheng School. According to Lu Qiyuan in the "Tour of Sanqing Mountain" said, at this time Sanqing Mountain is a big movement of construction, expansion of Sanqing Temple. The temple enshrines stone statues of Sanqing Shixian Jun, Gexian Weng, Li Shangshu, Golden boy, Jade Girl and Marshal Pan; The scenery and places on the mountain are also named after Taoist appellations, such as the immortal Bridge, Lei Gong Stone, Judge Stone and so on. At that time, the prosperity of Sanqing Mountain can be seen.
Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang especially praised Taoism, and Zhang Tianshi became the national leader, so Guixi Longhu Mountain became the national Taoist activity center. Sanqing Mountain is only 300 li away from Longhu Mountain, Taoist monks frequent, the contact is also extremely close, Sanqing Mountain educational activities almost directly under the control of Zhang Tianshi. At this time, the wind of worship on the mountain was extremely strong, and Taoist monks and believers scattered in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui and Fujian would organize incense gatherings in August and September every year, "One year toward the Sanqing Dynasty, one year toward the Shaohua Dynasty." They marched in groups, with the Sanqing gods and flags, lit incense, carried various sacrifices of pigs, cattle and sheep, and sounded three eyes to cheer, with drums, blowing and beating, the vast march to Sanqing Mountain, more than tens of thousands of people a day, less than thousands of people.
The Ming Dynasty was the peak period of Taoist activities in Sanqing Mountain, and Taoist buildings on the mountain also mushroomed like mushrooms. During the Jingtai period, the mountain had already built the Dragon Tiger Hall, the Temple of Buddhist Yuhua, the Jade Zero View, the Picketing Hall, the Hall of Yanjiao, the Nine Days Ying Yuan House, the Pangong Hall, the Square Moat, the Tianmen Stone Square, the Feisendai, the Liuxia Bridge, the stone steps of the "Many fine thousand steps Gate", the "Chongxu hundred steps Gate" and other buildings, and the reconstruction of the Sanqing View and the reconstruction of the Sanqing Palace.

The religious activities in Sanqing Mountain were carried out almost directly under the control of Zhang Tianshi. At this time, the wind of worship on the mountain was very prosperous. They marched in groups, with the Sanqing gods and flags, lit incense, carried various sacrifices of pigs, cattle and sheep, and sounded three eyes to cheer, with drums, blowing and beating, the vast march to Sanqing Mountain, more than tens of thousands of people a day, less than thousands of people. The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of Taoist activities in Sanqing Mountain. Taoist buildings on the mountain have also sprung up in large numbers.

At that time, Sun Wukong was awarded the title of Fighting Buddha. Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong suddenly kowtowed to the Buddha and said: "Thank the Buddha for granting the title of Buddha, Wukong should be content." However, in the eastern land of God, the great world, the demons have not been completely removed, and the people have suffered deeply from them, how can Wukong be at ease to pay homage to Buddha, sit quietly and watch, and not have the intention of losing the Buddha's seal and fighting to defeat Buddha!" The Buddha smiled and asked Wukong, "In that case, what do you want?" Wukong replied, "Wukong wants to go to the eastern Earth to choose a quiet holy place and continue to cultivate the Dafa of lowering demons. The demons will not be eliminated every day, and the fighting will not stop every day. Only in this way can the meaning of granting the title of Buddha be fulfilled." After hearing this, Buddha smiled and said, "I think I am pure on the west, it is the paradise world, the yellow gold shop, the white jade pool, the lotus flower, the gem hanging, the seven Bodhi, all the calamities will not be extinguished." What better place in the whole world than this?" Wukong replied, "In the eastern Land of Earth, there is a Sanqing Mountain, which is a fairyland of Yaotai generated by heaven and earth. There the peaks are towering, the clouds are paved, the white clouds are born in the valley, and the waterfalls hang in the mountains; Strange stone Qisong forget color, not old to rock forever cang. Wukong wanted to cultivate the Dafa of lowering demons, but he was afraid that Grandpa Laojun would not tolerate me. Because when the big trouble of the pocket rate palace, kicked over the old prince gossip furnace." The Buddha listened. He asked the gatekeepers and disciples standing on both sides: "Who would like to go east to Sanqing on my behalf, and lead Wukong to intercede with the old master, so that he can keep Wukong, so as to fulfill his lofty wish of heaven." Guanyin Bodhisattva flashed out of the class, hands clasped: "Disciples would like to understand the empty east to the three Qing, to convey the Buddha's law to the old master." The Buddha nodded with great joy, and the people chanted the name of the Buddha: "No Amitabha in the south."

After listening to Guanyin explain the purpose of coming, the master smiled at Wukong and said, "What a Monkey King, let him pass." Man's law, earth's law, heaven's law, heaven's law, and nature's law. It's rare for you to have such a big dream, how can I hold a grudge? Lao Jun said all the immortals laughed, Guanyin then bid farewell to Lao Jun ancestor, driving clouds back to the west. In front of the cave, surrounded by ancient pines, there is just a big stone, which Wukong likes to sit on. As time goes by, it has become a "wonderful high platform" for Wukong to cultivate his treasure. [10] .
