"The Great Laoshan Mountain and Xiao Lao Mountain" comes from the annotation of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty written by Tang Lixian in the first year of Guangzhai (684) of Tianshun Saint Queen. In the book, the northern part of the mountain is called "Da Lao Shan" and the southern part of the mountain is called "Xiao Lao Mountain" or "Raul Mountain" for short. "Da Lao Shan and Xiao Lao Mountain" were used in Tong Dian of Tang Dynasty.
Auxiliary Tangshan is from Moon Hee written by Niu Su in the first year of Zhenyuan (785), which was revised by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Taoist Wang Min was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. Li Huazhou, a Taoist in Nanyue, was afraid that Emperor Xuanzong would be greedy for the secular world and stop practicing, so he advised Wang to go out of Beijing. Wang Sui asked Tang Xuanzong to make an alchemy in prison mountain, and Xuanzong allowed him to change it to "Auxiliary Tangshan". Taiping Guangji continued to use "assisting Tangshan".
In the Jin and Yuan Dynasties (1209), Qiu Chuji began to use "Aoshan", which only existed in the inscriptions of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. When Qiu Chuji, the founder of Quanzhen Longmen Sect of Taoism in Yuan Dynasty, arrived at Laoshan Mountain, he saw that Laoshan Mountain shouldered Pingchuan and faced the sea, just like a giant towering above the blue waves of Wan Li in the East China Sea, so he wrote a poem: "There are few famous mountains in Shaanxi, nine beautiful flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, and Aoshan Mountain rests on the eastern sea, which shows that Shandong people don't know." After Genghis Khan sealed the hill as a Buddhist immortal, he was put in charge of the affairs of the world, and all the people served as teachers, calling this mountain "Aoshan".
