Longmen Taoist sect is a branch of Taoism Quanzhenism, in the Taoist influence. Qiu Qiqi converted the Longmen Sect into an official Taoist sect based on Quanzhen teachings, preaching and teaching disciples so that it could be further developed. He played a major role and was an influential key figure within the northern sect of Taoism, and the Longmen branch was named after him because he lived in Longmen Cave in Longzhou.
Qiu Shiqi (1148-1227), a native of Qixia County, Dengzhou, Shandong Province in the late Southern Song Dynasty (1148-1227 A.D.), with the character Tongmi and the Taoist name Changchunzi, was originally called Qiu Ge (丘哥), and Qiu Shiqi was given the name by his master Wang Chongyang (王重阳). During his 13-year-long training in Longmen Cave, Qiu perfected the Quanzhen Taoism and gradually became one of the most accomplished Quanzhen Taoists in the history of Chinese Taoism. He was honored by the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, and was summoned by Jin Shi Zong and Yuan Tai Zu many times, and was appointed as the State Master by Genghis Khan, who was in charge of the whole country's Taoism. Since then, Longmen Cave became famous, stepped into the splendor, and reached its heyday with its reputation all over God's country. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once inscribed a couplet in Beijing's Baiyun Guan: "The everlasting youth of the world does not use meals to seek the secret of the Xia, a word to stop the killing of the world began to know that there is a miraculous achievement," on the Qiu Qiqi's this feat has been given a high evaluation. To this day, Longmen Cave still has the remains of Qiu Zu Cave grinding stone, "Qingtian Song" engraved stone and other relics.
To the Qing Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722), the abbot of Baiyunguan Wang Changyue and public preaching, Longmen Sect since then the great rise, a moment of precepts of more than a thousand disciples. The disciples of Longmen School were named according to the name of the school, which was originally 20 characters, but later on, the number of disciples multiplied and the number was increased to 100 characters. Because the sect was founded by Qiu Shiqi, Qiu's reputation is high, and lived in Longmen Cave, his disciples are naturally the authentic Longmen Sect. However, Baiyunguan is the place where Qiu settled after being enthroned by the imperial court, and Zuanan in Tuxian County is the place where Wang Chongyang was buried, so the disciples received in the 3 places are all considered to be the disciples of Longmen Sect of the Quanzhen Sect, and all the 3 places are regarded by the believers as the birthplace of the Longmen Sect, and are honored (in the Taoist world, Wang Chongyang is called as the ancestor of the Quanzhen Sect, and Qiu is the master of the sect, and the real direct lineage of the Longmen Sect refers to the descendants of Zhao Xujing after Qiu). Therefore, Longmen Cave and Beijing Baiyunguan, Shanxi Yongle Palace, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, Touxian Chongyang Palace of the four major palaces are called "the ancestor of the school of Quanzhen". Because of the different places of transmission, the various branches of the gateway, but all recognize the Longmen Sect as the clan.

I. Legend of the Opening of Longmen Dong The era when Longmen Dong opened the mountain and built the temple lacks reliable documentation.

Qiu left Longmen Cave to Zu'an in Zhanshan Mountain, Longmen Cave entrusted disciple Zhao Jiugu presided over. Zhao Jiujan then attached Qiu to go to the snowy mountains and died in the western region. Longmen Cave by the Church under the master He Zhizhen (is the Longmen faction of the Huashan system, stonemason origin) to take over, had a large-scale expansion and repair works, add a temple, build a trestle, for the cliffs and stones, and officially named the total field called Jingfu, survived to the present layout of Longmen Cave, is laid at this time. The four ancestral temple under the Yuan dynasty marble monument detailing the construction, is an important historical information.
