Kongtong Mountain is the birthplace of ancient Huang San, as well as Nuwa and Kuafu, with a long history of culture. Therefore, Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, who was revered by the Chinese nation as the ancestor of mankind, traveled to the border of the western regions and personally climbed the Kongtong Mountain, asking Guang, who lived in seclusion in Kongtong Mountain, for the way of governing the country and keeping in good health.
Taoism, as a religion, originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, its ideological and theoretical basis is the theory of Huang Lao, which has prevailed since the Spring and Autumn Period. Huangdi and Laozi are both founders of Taoism. According to the records of Taoist classics, Lao Tzu's predecessor was Guang, and he was a teacher of the Yellow Emperor under Kongtong, and traced back to the source, so Kongtong Mountain was known as "the first Taoist mountain in the world".
Buddhism also has a long history in Kongtong Mountain. By the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist activities in the mountains had taken shape. According to the inscription on an iron bell cast in the second year of Da 'an in the Jin Dynasty (A.D. 12 10), the stone steps on the steps from Zhongtai to Huangcheng in Kongtong Mountain were excavated by Renzhi Zen Master during the Tang Zhenguan period, and it is also recorded that Emperor Taizong gave this place to Minghui Temple on the mountain. By the early Qing Dynasty, there were 9 Buddhist temples/KLOC-0 in Kongtong Mountain.
