Historical records: According to historical records: During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (126~144), Zhang Ling (Zhang Daoling) from Feng (now Feng County, Jiangsu) advocated the way of Zhengyi Mengwei (commonly known as Wudoumi Dao, also known as Tianshi Dao) on Heming Mountain in Dayi County, with Laozi Li Er as the leader and the 'Tao Te Ching' as the main scripture, marking the official establishment of Taoism. Heming Mountain is universally recognized as the birthplace of Taoism in China and the pilgrimage site of Taoism in the world, known as 'Dao Guo Xian Du' and 'Dao Jiao Zu Ting'. Before Zhang Daoling founded the religion, Heming Mountain had always been a place of cultivation for different people. It is said that Guang Chengzi (Ma Chengzi) of the pre-Qin period and Zhou Yishan of the Western Han Dynasty both ascended here on cranes. There was a hermit, Li Jia, a descendant of Lao Dan, who lived in this mountain, kept cranes as companions, played chess and realized the Tao. The sound of cranes was often heard at the foot of the mountain, hence the name Heming Mountain. Many famous Taoists of all ages have practiced here. Such as Du Guangting of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, Chen Tun (Xi Yi) of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the famous Taoist Zhang Sanfeng of the Ming Dynasty all practiced Taoism here. Some emperors also came to Heming Mountain to worship their ancestors, such as Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty designated Heming Mountain as one of the five altars for holding national prayers for eternal life, and Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty personally wrote a decree to the Taoist priest Wu Boli of Longhu Mountain to invite the immortal Zhang Sanfeng to Heming Mountain. Later, Wu Boli built a welcoming pavilion at the foot of Heming Mountain. Tang Qiu, Du Guangting, Wen Yu Ke, Lu You, Yang Shengan and many other celebrities have visited this mountain and expressed their feelings. Protection of ancient relics: Heming Mountain Taoist Temple was approved as a key cultural relic protection unit by Chengdu Municipal Government in 1985, and was approved as a Taoist opening point in 1987. The 'China Taoist Culture Festival' also set up a venue on Heming Mountain. Origin Verification: Taoism in China originated from Heming Mountain in Heming Township, Dayi County, which has long been an undisputed fact: ancient Chinese historical documents, Taoist homes and historical relics of Heming Mountain all consistently indicate that this is the birthplace of Taoism in China.
