A number of aerial photographs were taken under swirling weather conditions.

Introduction to the nine-episode program "Asking Wudang"

The first episode "Where is the Immortal Mountain"? This is a magical mountain, and its formation can be traced back to the crustal movement 800 million years ago.

It has a unique geographical location, and the beautiful natural scenery contains a strong Taoist flavor. Therefore, the ancients named this mountain "Taihe" and "Wudang".

2,500 years ago, it was a Taoist named Yin Xi who opened the door to Wudang’s Taoism.

From then on, Wudang became associated with Laozi, and it became one of the birthplaces of Taoism.

Our journey of inquiry begins in spring, step by step to uncover the secrets hidden in this mountain.

Episode 2 "The Best Goodness Is Like Water" Wulong Temple is the first royal building recorded in Wudang Mountain.

From then on, Wudang Mountain and the emperor began to have some subtle relationship.

So, what kind of temple is this? After passing through the Song and Yuan dynasties, it was upgraded from a temple to a temple, and later became the Five Dragons Palace.

Its splendor is closely linked to Xuanwu, the water god of this mountain.

From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Wudang Mountain became a sacred mountain worshiped by the Song royal family.

It perfectly interprets the highest ideal of Taoism - the best is like water.

And what kind of legendary story is behind all this?

The third episode "The First Appearance of the Divine Palace" The Yuan Dynasty played the prelude to the song of the peak of Wudang Mountain.

The erection of the Nine Palaces and Eight Views helped this mountain sweep away the bad luck of the war. For the first time in eight hundred miles, Wudang became the dojo where the emperor "proclaimed his blessings to heaven and celebrated his birthday."

All of this is inextricably linked to a Taoist priest named Zhang Shouqing.

Because of the joint efforts of him and Wudang Taoists, the Nanshi Temple, the Bronze Temple, the Ancient Shinto Temple and the Qingwei Palace were built.

Wudang Mountain has therefore become a Taoist holy land as famous as Longhu Mountain, the main mountain of Zhengdao.

Episode 4 "Looking for the Immortal" This is the most legendary figure in Wudang Mountain.

He was a Taoist priest, but people at the time called him a "living god."

His whereabouts are unpredictable, but stories about him never stop.

He is Zhang Sanfeng.

The program revolves around a series of questions: Is Zhang Sanfeng really a real person? Is the historical Zhang Sanfeng consistent with the one we know? Historical records record that his whereabouts were elusive. How did the emperors know about him? Why did the five emperors of the Ming Dynasty issue edicts to visit him several times? When did he come to Wudang, and how did he create Wudang Internal Boxing?

Episode 5 "The Auspicious Sign of Plum Blossoms" In 1405 AD, the plum blossoms in Wudang, which had "no flowers for a long time", suddenly bloomed and bore fruit. Emperor Yongle was overjoyed and gave him a huge reward.

Three years ago, King Zhu Di of Yan won the throne from his nephew through the "Battle of Jingnan" and changed the country's name to Yongle.

"Rongmei's auspicious sign" allowed Zhu Di to find an excellent reason for the "divine right of kings".

Since then, the large-scale construction of Wudang Mountain has begun.

Episode 6 "Tao Follows Nature" In the 10th year of Yongle, Zhang Sanfeng's disciple Sun Biyun was ordered to come to Wudang Mountain to plan the construction of palaces.

However, Wudang stretches for 800 miles, how to build it into a fairyland on earth where "Tao follows nature"? Sun Biyun thought of a story that had been circulating since the Song Dynasty. It was a legend about Zhenwu cultivating immortality in Wudang.

In the 13th year of Yongle, Wudang Mountain was built according to the story of Zhenwu cultivating immortals and was named "Dayue Taihe Mountain".

Episode 7 "Climbing to the Peak" In the 17th year of Yongle, the seventh year of Wudang's overhaul, craftsmen will build a splendid Purple Gold City on the top of Tianzhu Peak, 1,613 meters above sea level.

The purpose of building Purple Gold City is to protect the most important building in Wudang Mountain - the Golden Palace.

What kind of palace is this, and how many bizarre stories surround it?

Episode 8 "Xuanyue Zhishi" In 1552 AD, the 31st year of Jiajing, a stone archway "Xuanyue Zhishi" was erected at the northern foot of Wudang Mountain.

This archway with a plaque inscribed by Jiajing undoubtedly elevates the status of this royal ashram beyond the famous Taoist mountains such as Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain, and leaps above the long-famous Five Mountains. It is regarded as the "The most famous mountain in the world".

This year, Emperor Jiajing ordered the reconstruction of Wudang.

Wudang Mountain reached its peak due to the respect of the Ming royal family in the past dynasties.

Episode 9 "***Prayers for Supreme Harmony" Throughout the ages, the Eight Hundred Mile Wudang has attracted the attention of all living beings.

They are attached to this mountain and have worshiped it in different ways for thousands of years. They have condensed their inner piety in this plaque "The Way Connects Heaven and Earth" dedicated to Nanyan Xuandi Hall.

During the Qing Dynasty, Wudang Mountain received less royal support.

But among the people, the influence of this mountain still continues to expand.

Zhenwu belief spread across the ocean and took root in Taiwan.

Every year on September 9th and March 3rd, incense-burning groups from Taiwan come to Wudang to worship.

This is a majestic mountain that stretches vertically and horizontally. It accepts all living beings with different beliefs and skin colors.
