8.30Mount Qingcheng⛰️青城山

Mt. Qingcheng is in Sichuan province in southwest China. It was inscribed as a world heritage site because of its role in the advent of Taoism, one of the main beliefs in China. In the Hall of the Celestial Master, a great sage named Zhang Daoling is laid to rest. It’s said that he meditated in this cave and attained immortality. He’s believed to have had a special mark in his hand which could destroy demons and that he possessed supernatural powers to combat evil forces. Tai Chi is also an important part of this routine. They use slow movements and special breathing techniques to activate the flow of Chi, the essential energy of life which by Taoist definition increases inside the body. Laozi is worshipped as a supreme being by Taoists and they hope that his powers can be harnessed to protect them. The founding place of Taoism with 1800 years of tradition is on its path to recovery. 青城山位于中国西南部的四川省内。因其在道教（中国主流信仰之一）起源中的角色被列为世界文化遗产。 在天师洞中，一位叫做张道陵的伟大智者长眠于此。据说他在这个山洞中冥想然后获得了永生。人们认为他的手上有一个特殊的符号，能够摧毁恶魔，还认为他拥有超能力能够对抗邪恶的力量。 太极也是道教日常功课里重要的一部分。他们运用缓慢的动作和特殊的呼吸技巧来激活气的流动，气是一种生命必不可少的能量，根据道教的定义，气会在体内增加。 老子被道教徒敬奉为至高存在。他们希望老子的能量能够被用来保护他们。拥有1800年传统的道教发祥地正在重建的道路上。
