The Cultural Origin of Wudang Culture

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wudang Mountain was located at the junction of Chu, Qin and Han, with deep mountain and dangerous terrain. It has always been a battleground for military strategists, and the origin of Wudang Mountain's name is related to resisting foreign enemies in history. Taoism is deeply rooted in the traditional culture of China. Wudang Taoism worships Xuanwu as the main god, attaches importance to the cultivation of inner alchemy, and is good at understanding thunder and symbols, forming a systematic Wudang Taoist cultural system, so it is called Wutangzong. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperors regarded Wudang Mountain as a royal temple, offering sacrifices to the God of Zhenwu and protecting the country, and named Wudang Mountain Taihe Mountain in Da Yue, ranking above the Five Mountains. Nowadays, Wudang Mountain has become a sacred mountain in the hearts of the world with its magnificent ancient buildings, precious Taoist cultural relics, magical Taoist medicine, unique Taoist music, mysterious martial arts and profound Taoist philosophy.
