Tourism is inseparable from religious culture. At present, the most widely spread religions in China are Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christianity. Among these religions, Taoism is the only indigenous religion that originated in China. Laozi is the ancestor of Taoism. Taoism originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This is a primitive religious form of polytheism, worshipping many gods. Its purpose is to live forever and save the world by hanging cans. It occupies an important position in the ancient traditional culture of China, and it is also developing actively in the modern world. Because Taoism worships polytheism, there are Sanqing, Jade Emperor, Qiongtai Goddess and Zhu Xing Shen Yao. During the development of Taoism, Quanzhen, Huashan, Longmen and Zhengyi schools appeared. Cultivating immortals requires Taoist holy places, so there are four famous Taoist mountains, heaven and earth.
But the so-called "36 caves" and "72 castles" are all famous mountain caves where immortals live. These places are connected with different rooms. Although some are not picky now, most of them still have traces to follow.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing ordered the temple to be built and the mountain was given to him. Taoism will flourish in the future.

This is a historical fact that has been circulating for nearly 2000 years since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties. Huotong Mountain originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty 3000 years ago, when "Huotong Zhennan" lived in seclusion in the forest of Huotong Mountain, hence the name "Huodong Lintian".
