Fengdu Ghost Town is very famous in China and has become a famous tourist attraction. But why is Fengdu called a ghost town? What is the origin of this title? The following is an introduction to this aspect.

0 1 Taoist theory: At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling founded Pentecostalism, which became the later ghost religion. In A.D. 198, his grandson Zhang Lu established the Pingdu Institute of Taoism in Fengdu, which became the missionary center of Taoism. Later, Taoism invented a Luofeng Mountain, saying that it was a ghost capital ruled by the Northern Yin Emperor, who was the seventh central god of Taoism and was in charge of hell.

Ghost Emperor (Tubo) said: In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Fengdu was once the capital of Bazi. With the continuous communication between the two ethnic groups in Bashu, politics, economy, culture, ideas and customs infiltrated each other, and a religious god Tubo with the same belief was born, which is the first generation of ghost emperor of Bashu ghost family. The ghost emperor once lived in Youdu, and Fengdu still has the ruins of Youdu.

Buddhist Yan Luowang said: Yan Luowang, originally a transliteration of Sanskrit, was willing to be the king in charge of the underworld in ancient Indian mythology. Buddhism follows this saying and calls it the devil who manages hell. Legend has it that he has eighteen judges in charge of eighteen hell. According to all classics, sounds and meanings, Yan Luowang is an equal king, and he can be equally punished.

Legend has it that there were two alchemists in the Han Dynasty, one named Yin Changsheng and the other named Wang, whose official position was to send China to hospital. Both of them came to Fengdu to practice. In the early years of Wei Qinglong, they became immortals and drifted away. Later, in the Tang Dynasty, the two of them were misinformed as the king of Yin and the king of the underworld.

So there is a legend that Fengdu is? Gangdom? It is a place where ghosts gather, which makes some people afraid to go to Fengdu. What's more, there are people walking in the streets in that place during the day, and all the people walking in the streets in the dark are ghosts. These are all nonsense.

Special note: In fact, Fengdu is a good place with fertile land and rich products. There are no ghosts and gods, but a myth in history. Later generations simply used this legend to build a tourist attraction there.
