Why is the palace of Wudang Mountain dedicated to Qinglong White Tiger?
The main palaces in Wudang Mountain are built with Dragon and Tiger Halls, which are dedicated to dragons and white tigers, in order to render the prestige of worshipping Zhenwu. In traditional Taoist culture, the green dragon and white tiger are closely related to the method of self-cultivation and cultivation.

Qinglong belongs to Yang in Yin and Yang, and White Tiger belongs to Yin in Yin and Yang. Putting the dragon and white tiger in a hall means that it contains the method of cultivating vitality of China Taoism, that is, nourishing the qi of liver and lung, which can achieve the effect of combining yin and yang. Of course, it also has the function of eliminating evil thoughts and root causes.

The Dragon and Tiger Hall of Zixiao Palace was built on a high platform next to Jinshui Bridge. A brick-wood structure was hung on the top of the mountain with a green glass tile roof. There is a splayed wall outside the temple, and the wall is decorated with designs such as colored glass, Qionghua and peacock. The temple is eerie and solemn, and Wang Lingguan is enshrined in the middle. There are green dragons and white tigers on both sides, which are tall and powerful, vivid and daunting.
