Although Zhang Gaocheng is an expert in natural science, he has a keen interest in Taoism's teachings in social science, especially the life-saving and life-enhancing Qigong in Taoism. As early as 1982, when I was teaching at Zhejiang University, I went to Tongbai Palace in Tiantai Mountain to find a teacher and met Xie Xichun, the consultant of Zhejiang Qigong Association and the abbot of Tongbai Palace. Since then, he has become the 27th generation descendant of the Dragon Sect of Taoism.
In order to promote China's Taoist culture, he still actively preached and taught in the United States. In a beautiful and convenient coral spring city on the Florida Peninsula, a central Taoist school, Tongbai Palace in Tiantai Mountain, China, was founded and became the abbot. Subsequently, with Coral Spring City as the center, it gradually spread to the United States and Canada, and 45 apricot altars were established successively, with more than 25,000 Taoists, which was very popular.

After Ye Qiu May arrived in the United States, due to overwork, she had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and emerged. Under the careful arrangement of American Taoist friends such as Zhang, Ye Qiumei's body was airlifted back to China and buried in Xianyuan Lake in Tongbai Mountain.
In February, 2000, when Zhang Gaocheng escorted Ye Qiu Meiling to Tongbai Mountain, he witnessed that the ancestral temple Xiangong Temple, although repaired and expanded by Ye Qiumei several times, was still small-minded, which inevitably made people feel that it was not easy to repair the temple and damaged the prestige of the ancestral temple. Coupled with the abbot Ye Feiyuxian, all the disciples are like buildings with broken beams and no bones, and they are in constant fear, and even reveal the desolate scene of some people going to the building. Faced with such a situation, at the unanimous request of Taoist friends and sincere invitation of local county and city authorities, and starting from the will to revitalize the ancestral court, he was ordered at a critical moment and resolutely left the important task of provoking the abbot of Tongbai Palace, determined to inherit the beautiful legacy of Xie Xichun and Ye Qiu, and strive for the glorious history of the Southern Ancestral Court.
The local party and government leaders attached great importance to him, invited him as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) to participate in and discuss state affairs, and strongly supported his work. On May 26th, 2000, he held a seminar on the construction of Tongbai scenic spot and the restoration of Tongbai Palace site in the third conference room of the county government, which laid a general framework for the reconstruction of ancestral home. Then, he traveled tirelessly, visited various avenues at home and abroad, and absorbed local models and experiences; After going to the United States to handle personal affairs, I returned to Tongbai Palace to start the substantial reconstruction of my ancestral home. He intends to raise 20 million yuan from all walks of life at home and abroad to set aside 15 mu of land next to Dayue Mountain surrounded by Jiu Feng to rebuild the temple. The planning scale is as follows: first, temples and temples dedicated to Taoist ancestors in past dynasties, which can be used by 200 monks and 5 people to hold dharma meetings and practice activities; First, the Taoist College, which studies Taoist history, Taoist classics and Taoist medical skills, publicizes Taoist culture and trains Taoist talents; One is the International Taoist Health Exchange Center, which is used to develop a series of health products and has been studied and practiced by about 300 Chinese and foreign people.
