There are many temples in Wudang Mountain. In which dynasty was it first built?
Many ancient Taoist buildings on Wudang Mountain were built in the Tang Dynasty and continued to expand in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of Wudang Mountain architecture. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, "the Forbidden City was built in the north and Wudang was built in the south". Ming Chengzu spent millions and used 300,000 Japanese military and civilian craftsmen to overhaul Wudang Mountain. It took 14 years to build 33 buildings, including 9 palaces and 8 scenic spots, which were further rebuilt and expanded during Jiajing period. The whole architectural system is laid out according to the story of Taoist "cultivating immortals through true martial arts", which fully embodies the Taoist thought of "harmony between man and nature". The total number of Taoist temples on the mountain has reached more than 20 thousand. Some precious palaces were submerged by Danjiangkou Reservoir. At present, there are 53 ancient buildings, 9 architectural sites and more than 7,400 cultural relics.
1994 Wudang Taoist temple complex has been included in the World Heritage List.
Wudang Daole is also listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list of China.
