Maoshan Taoism has a long history. According to legend, as early as 5,000 years ago, there was an exhibition of practitioners in the Gaoxin era in Fulong, Ququ Mountain (now Chen Yu Village, Maoshan Town). During the pre-Qin period, Guo Si, a native of Yan State, practiced in Chen Yu Temple. During the Qin dynasty, Li Ming practiced in the ancient alchemy institute (now Gan Yuan view); In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong, a jurong, practiced in Baopufeng, Maoshan, and wrote a book. In the second year of Xingning in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (364), Yang, Xu, etc. compiled The True Classics of the Great Hole in the Qing Dynasty, and founded the Maoshan Shangqing School with unique Jiangnan characteristics. Tao Hongjing, a famous Taoist priest in the Qi and Liang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, lived in seclusion in Maoshan for more than 40 years, and was the main successor of the Shangqing School in Maoshan. Maoshan Taoism enjoys a high reputation and status in the history of Taoism in China, and has won the reputation of "the immortal mansion in Qin and Han Dynasties, the prime minister in Liang and Tang Dynasties" and "the first blessed land and the eighth cave". During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Taoism in Maoshan reached its peak, with more than 300 Taoist buildings, more than 5,000 palaces, temples and palaces, and thousands of Taoists. It was called "seventy-two Maoan temples with three palaces and five temples". There are many restaurants around the scenic spot, where you can taste local specialties such as Maoshan old duck and Maoshan bamboo shoots. There are five or six restaurants of a certain scale, almost all of which have special dishes. You can taste local seasonal wild vegetables (Artemisia, bamboo shoots, Malantou) and Maoshan game (pheasant, hare, mountain bird, goat, etc.). ), wild aquatic products (snails), and the most distinctive is Maoshan old goose, which can be eaten in almost every restaurant. In winter, salted geese are hung in front of every household in the mountains.

Here's a little guide, take your time: Maoshan Scenic Area adopts 70 yuan one-vote system (one-vote system for seven scenic spots), and the tickets already include the transportation expenses of the scenic spot, so it's free to take a tour bus in the scenic spot! If you buy a ticket at the foot of the mountain, someone will buy incense from you. Don't rush to buy it. You can buy it after following the car and before entering the mountain gate. The price is as follows: 5 yuan, Five Blessingg, the smaller one that has been lit, Pinganxiang 10 yuan, the highest 1 meters high. The price is 88 yuan, but you can make a counter-offer. There is no need to buy incense, because there is free incense where you order. At this time, someone will let you enter the incense for free. But don't draw lots, remember. (Tip: Please prepare more coins with a face value of 1, 50, 1. According to your financial conditions, throw one every week. There's an old saying: maoshan taoist is far from near. You can visit from afar. Very clever. Many great people came here specially.
The first stop of Maoshan from top to bottom is Jiuyun Wanfu Palace. You can see the statue at first sight when you enter the mountain gate. First, take a bow and toss a coin. Because Maoshan is Taoism, the gesture of worshipping Buddha is different from that of worshipping Buddha. Is the left hand on the floor, the right hand holding the thumb of his left hand, hands clasped, kneeling down to bow down to Mei Qi. After the worship, go in and take pictures freely. You can worship any idol you see in the future. It doesn't matter how many coins you want to throw. If you encounter a lottery in Taoist Temple, you can draw a lottery (20 yuan) to cancel the contract, without charge, but you can give money to the person who cancels the contract (1from 0 yuan). Not all people can draw this sign. There are souvenirs in the Taoist temple, so you can buy them in moderation. Portraits of treasures of the town house, Mao Zedong, Zhong Kui and others can be invited here.
The second stop is Xianren Cave, and the underground entrance is 30 meters away. When you enter the cave, the temperature will drop several degrees. Don't take off your clothes when you are playing outside. You'd better prepare a small flashlight. You can follow me after your eyes get used to it. There are lights inside, and the surrounding environment is more suitable for making horror movies. With sound effects, playing alone is scary. Turn around and come out. It's almost time for dinner.
The third stop is Fu Yuan Wan Ning Palace. After entering, you can see a stone door with four on each side. When you go down the mountain, you must touch the word "Fu" so that you can take Fu home. Don't forget! ! ), if you see the statue of Confucius, I suggest you go there and pay more attention to the statue of the old moon, hehe. There is a special place in this scenic spot, that is, you can punch in, 10 yuan 5 times. I seem to have arrived. I'll go and worship at once. Laozi was the originator of Taoism, and then Taoism produced the Four Celestial Teachers. Zhang Tianshi is probably the most familiar one, so hurry up and worship.
The fourth stop is Xikequan, which is very distinctive. When people clap their hands by the spring, the spring will boil and a string of blisters will dance with the applause. It is really interesting. Well, it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It's time to go back. Go to Maoshan, go back to Jiuli, and go to Jiuli ji zi Temple.
Ji zi Temple has arrived, so we can only look at the time relationship. There are three wells here, which do not dry up all the year round. The three wells are arranged in a "needle" shape, and the spacing between each well is less than one meter, but the water inside is clear water, turbid water, and the first product seems to be yellow mud water. The taste of the product is different, which is very strange and can't be drunk. Pindao is ok.
