Analysis:

Tao Hongjing and Wenzhou, prime ministers in the mountains.

Tao Hongjing, known as the "Prime Minister in the Mountain", lived in seclusion in Yongjia Nanxi and Ruitao Mountain for many years, leaving many relics and folklore. Tao Hongjing (456-536) was born in Moling, Danyang (now Nanjing). He experienced Song, Qi and Liang all his life and was a famous Taoist thinker and doctor. He was born in a scholarly family. Grandfather Long Tao joined the army for Wang Fu, and father Tao Zhen was the magistrate of Xiaochang County. Hongjing acted strangely when he was a child. At the age of four or five, I began to learn Chinese characters in Gray Middle School. At the age of ten, he began to study Ge Hong's Biography of Immortals. His father was killed by his concubine, so he never got married. He studied in thousands of books, was good at playing the piano and chess, and was proficient in laws and regulations of past dynasties. When he was less than 20 years old, he was called to study for the kings of the Southern Dynasties and the late Song Dynasty. In the tenth year of Qi Yongming (492), he took off his imperial costume, hung up Shenwumen, resigned and retired to Maoshan (now Jurong County, Zhenjiang City), wandering between mountains and rivers, taking pleasure in listening to Songtao chanting, and named himself Huayangtao a hermit. When Shen Yue was a magistrate of Dongyang County, he sent invitations for many times, but he didn't keep the appointment.

Xiao Yanping was in Jiankang (now Nanjing) and the troops arrived in Xinlin. It was at the time of the Zen of Qi and Liang Dynasties that Tao Hongjing sent his disciples to take the path to meet him, citing the prophecy that the world would return to Liang. Liang Wudi Xiao Yan was very kind to him after he acceded to the throne. Whenever good or bad luck is uncertain or military matters are important, he must first ask Tao Hongjing for instructions, and letters are constantly written. At that time, he was called "Prime Minister in the Mountain".

Tao Hongjing believed in Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophy and Ge Hong's immortal theory system, and traveled around famous mountains and rivers, seeking immortals everywhere. After the 11th year of Qi Yongming's reign (493), he traveled eastward to Zhejiang and Vietnam, and arrived at Dahongshan in Huiji, where he was honored as a layman. To Yuyao Taiping Mountain, I am Du Jingsheng, a layman; Then I went to Mount X in Shining (Shangyu), and I visited Master Zhong Yishan. When I arrived at Tiantai Mountain in Shifeng, I visited the monk's residence in the old Taoist priest's land and got more than ten volumes of original works. Summarized and reformed the previous alchemy, Yang Yi's "Clear Liquid" and Lu's "South Tianshi Daoism", and created the Maoshan School of Taoism with far-reaching influence. He advocated the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, and the harmony between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He once said that "everything can't be separated from two instruments, and the three religions have no way" ("Maoshan Changsha Pavilion Monument"). On the issue of health preservation, it advocates paying equal attention to physical and mental cultivation, nourishing and refining. He was diligent in writing all his life, and he was familiar with Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Wind Angle, Stars, Mountains and Rivers, Prescriptions, Medicine and Materia Medica. He is also engaged in alchemy. There are many books. He compiled Empresses in the Palace and Yin Ji, and annotated more than 200 books such as Lao Zi.

Kangxi's "Wenzhou Fu Zhi" contains: "Tao Hongjing lived in Maoshan, and one day dreamed that he would repay Dan, between three generations. Knowing that it is Yongjia, Yongning and Yongkang, the monks took Qingxi Tsing Yi Mountain for repair. " Both Qianlong's Wenzhou Prefecture Records and Guangxu's Yongjia County Records mentioned that Tao Hongjing is the 12th blessed place in the world. The widely collected relics of Yang and Xu Sanjun (Yang Yi, Xu *) are compiled into the most famous Taoist classic "True Change", which consists of 7 chapters and 20 volumes, so Daruoyan is also called true patent rock.

The beauty of mountains and rivers described by Tao Hongjing in Xie Zhongshu (Zheng Xie) Shu has been discussed since ancient times. Fly to the clouds, and the clear stream bottoms out. The stone walls on both sides are colorful and set each other off. Green Woods, green bamboo clusters, four. The fog will rest at dawn, and apes and birds will sing wildly. Night is coming and the scales are sinking. This is really a fairyland on earth. Since recreation, there have been no surprises. "People used to think that this was the Maoshan scenery written by Dow. According to textual research, Xie Lingyun's travel notes did not involve Maoshan, but he wrote many poems in Yongjia, such as climbing Yongjia Green Cockroach Mountain, Shishi Mountain and crossing Baian Pavilion. Visible, Dow said "no wonder", actually refers to nanxi river.

Legend has it that Tao Hongjing tried to plant grass, collect herbs and plant sugar cane (medicinal) in Fuquan Mountain in Angu (now Ruian) to treat the poor for nothing. Impressed, the masses called his place of residence "Taoshan", the place of planting medicine "Yao Qi", the mountain "Yaochi Township" and the sugarcane "Tao Zhe". The place where he practices is often surrounded by white clouds. Shi Tao said, "There is nothing on the mountain, but there are many white clouds on the mountain." Therefore, this area used to be called "Bai Yunxiang". Taoshan Temple still has couplets written by Qing people: "The Six Dynasties became a water of righteousness, and the famous mountains are still named Tao."
