But by the end of the Yuan Dynasty, most of the ancient buildings on Wudang Mountain were destroyed by soldiers. At present, most of the palaces on the mountain were built in the Ming Dynasty.

According to records, Emperor Taizong founded Wulong Temple in Lingyingfeng during the Zhenguan period. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it has been developed and expanded. In the tenth year of Yongle (14 12), Ming Chengzu used more than 300,000 military forces to build large-scale buildings here. Most of the 36 existing temples were built in the Ming Dynasty, and they are the most complete, largest and highest-ranking Taoist ancient buildings in China. All kinds of statues, utensils and scriptures preserved in the palace view have high cultural relics and artistic value. 1994 65438+February, Wudang Mountain Taoist ancient buildings have been included in the World Heritage List.

Founded in the 12th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 14 14), it was rebuilt in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty and restored to its original appearance in 1985.

Grinding needle well-the main attraction of Wudang Mountain: grinding needle well
The grinding needle well is the place where the legendary Zhenwu prince was influenced by an old woman and went back to the mountains to practice hard and achieve positive results. According to legend, Zhenwu, the Prince of Pure Land, came to this temple. At first, because of his weak will, he wanted to go down the mountain and return to the customs. So far, he met an old woman who was grinding an iron pestle by the well and was very curious. He asked her what it was. The old woman replied: I want to grind it into a needle. Zhenwu was even more puzzled and asked how such a thick pestle could be ground into a fine needle. The old woman took this opportunity to enlighten her and said, "When the iron pestle is ground into a needle, the work will naturally come." Hearing this, the prince had an epiphany and went back to the mountain to practice. Finally, he ascended to heaven and became the "Zhenwu Emperor", hence the name of the grinding needle well. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and then destroyed. It was rebuilt in the second year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (AD 1852), and it was restored as before in 1984. The main building consists of three main halls for Zhenwu teenagers to sit in, and the walls are decorated with murals of Zhenwu cultivation stories. There are two iron pestles in front of the temple, about half a meter thick and high, symbolizing the pestles worn by the old woman. There is a square pavilion next to the temple. There is a well in the pavilion with a cast iron pestle. This pavilion is carved with double eaves, which is beautiful and elegant and has a unique style.
Jianhe Bridge Martial Arts Performance-40 minutes: Jianhe Bridge in Wudang Mountain is located one kilometer in front of Taizipo. China Wulin is called Shaolin in the north and Wudang in the south. Wudang Wushu, represented by Zhang Sanfeng Neijia Boxing, is characterized by flexibility, static braking, and taking the lead in attacking. It has the characteristics of prolonging life, eliminating diseases, strengthening body, increasing wisdom and opening up wisdom.
Yuxu Palace-located in the northwest of the main peak of Wudang Mountain, about 4 kilometers away from Xuan Yue Gate, the gate of Wudang Mountain, was the base camp for the large-scale construction of Wudang Mountain in that year, so it is commonly known as Laoying Palace (because Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising army, camped here in the late Ming Dynasty). The name "Seo Woo" comes from "Xu Yu Shi Xiang" written by the jade emperor Feng Zhenwu. This palace is the best of the eight Gong Er views, with more than 2,200 halls, temples, shrines, altars and halls, which are stacked one after the other, with strict layout and clear axes. Miyagi consists of three cities: Waile, Forbidden City and Li Le. There are three gates in Wailecheng, with six gates in the Forbidden City in the middle. There are two stone pavilions in front of the door with stone tablets inside. The stone tablet is more than 9 meters high and about 6 meters long. There is a dragon carved on the tablet and it weighs about 80 tons. There used to be a tinker with 500 soldiers in the orchard in the palace. Go further and you will find the gate of Li Le. The temples in the city are adjacent, including the front hall, the main hall and the parents' hall. There is Longjing in the east gate of Li Lecheng, and the existing dragon carving fence is still well preserved. After ten years of Qianlong, Yuxu Palace suffered a fire, followed by a flood in 1935, and the silt in the palace reached more than 65,438+10,000 cubic meters. Since 1994, after a large-scale dredging work, a number of cultural relics and historic sites such as Li Lecheng, Wailecheng and Tang Shifang have been rediscovered, and the ancient jade belt river, which used to be 8 meters wide, has now flowed.
Yu Xuyan is one of the large-scale and well-preserved rock temples in Wudang Mountain. According to the inscriptions in the Yuan Dynasty, this rock was the place where Xuan Di (Emperor Zhenwu) practiced, and then it soared, hence the name "the teacher of Jade Que". The existing buildings were rebuilt at the end of Qing Dynasty and during Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty.
