Changes in the historical position of Wudang Mountain: The name "Wudang" first appeared in Hanshu. From the end of Han Dynasty to Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was a secluded place for those who sought immortality and learned Taoism. By the Song Dynasty, Taoist scriptures had linked the legendary Zhenwu God with Wudang Mountain, and turned the subsidiary company of Wudang Mountain into the birthplace and take-off place of Zhenwu, laying the foundation for its future glory and dignity. After entering the Ming Dynasty, due to the rulers' respect for Zhenwu,
Mr. Zhang, a professor of architecture at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said in the article "The Peak of China's Architectural Macro-design-Wudang Mountain Taoist Complex": "Wudang was called' Taiyue' in the Ming Dynasty, and it was above the five mountains ... If we try to compare the architecture of Wudang Mountain with Mount Tai, the first of the five mountains, although it has a long history, the architecture of Mount Tai will not be achieved overnight, and it will be inferior as a whole. Compared with Xuanyuemen in Wudang Mountain, Yu Xiu Palace in Dongyue Temple, Zixiao Palace in Yuan Jun Temple in Bi Xia, Taihe Palace in Nantianmen and Jinding in Jade Emperor, the Daizongfang Arch archway in Taishan Mountain will also lose points. " The other four mountains are far away from Mount Tai, making it more difficult to confront Wudang. "
