Poetry related to Taoism, involving Taoist themes, is a kind of poetry that describes Taoist resorts, temples or recites Taoist teachings during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. Poetry flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and poets and Taoist priests exchanged poems or learned them in front of them. Such poems are also called Taoist poems. The earliest Taoist poem is the poem of washing medicine pool in qi zhou's Ge Hong, followed by Wu Maiyuan's Taoist Temple Stone Room in the Southern Dynasties, and Xiang Li's Taoist Temple Poetry in Dunhuang literature. By the Tang Dynasty, Taoist poetry was extremely developed, and literati had close contacts with Taoist priests. For example, Xin Li described the miracle of Zhang Guo in Mr. Zhang Guo. Wang Changling's On Taoist Asking about Zhouyi's Participation in Tongqi describes that Wang Changling got Zhouyi's Participation in Tongqi, but he didn't understand it, which also shows that the Participation in Tongqi was regarded as an important thing for the Danes to cultivate immortality in the Tang Dynasty.
