In the Xia Dynasty, Peng Zu was sealed in Xuzhou by Tang Yao, and the Great Peng State was established for 800 years. He became the originator of China's cultivation and health-preserving cooking, and was listed as an important Taoist fairy.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi was also born in Qurenli, Chuguoku County. At that time, Xuzhou was an important city of Chu, and it was also the political, economic and cultural center at that time. Xuzhou is the main area of Laozi's activities. According to historical records only, in Guo Pei, Confucius asked Laozi for advice many times, and now the inscription "Confucius asked Guo Pei" has been unearthed in many places in China.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Sean, who stayed behind, not only helped Liu Bang to pacify the world and govern the country, but also was an important Taoist immortal practitioner. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Julu people and Zhang Jiao created Taiping Dao, which was based on Taiping Ching Ling Shu and treated diseases with Daoshui. In ten years, there were hundreds of thousands of disciples all over Qing and Xu, and Xuzhou was an important area. Zhang Daoling, a native of Guo Peifengyi (now Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province), formulated and improved the classics and etiquette, and founded the "Five Mi Dou Daoism", which cured diseases with water and sacrificed with wine, and sealed twenty-four treatments (later changed to twenty-eight treatments), marking the establishment of Taoism. According to historical records, Zhang Daoling was born in the 11th year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty and died in the 2nd year of Yongshou at the age of 120.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo, a Taoist sage, was also born in Qiaoxian (now Bozhou) and practiced medicine in Xu and Bo areas. After his death, he was buried in a mile south of Xuzhou. Later generations built Huatuo Tomb and Jianhua Ancestral Temple.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, thought that Laozi Li Er was his ancestor. Because Taoism regards Laozi as a Taoist sect, the originator of Taoism, and respects Laozi as "Xuanyuan the Great", Taoism was honored as the state religion at that time, and Zhang Tianshi Daoling was named "Taishi". Taoism was popular for a while, and Xuzhou temples were also spread all over the country.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Taoist temples in Xuzhou were all over the suburbs of Xuzhou and neighboring counties and towns. There are Wenchang Temple, Qing Er Temple, Huatuo Temple, Wang Guan Temple, Hou Xian Temple, Fire Temple, Xuan Di Temple, Taishan Temple, Huang San Temple, Dongyue Temple, Sima Temple, Tianzu Temple, Li Wenjing Temple, Jinlong Dawang Temple, Dongzhen Temple and Longxiang Temple in Fengxian County alone.

During the Ming Dynasty, despite the restrictions of the Ming government at that time, Taoism in Xuzhou still flourished, with many believers and Taoist temples, and there were more than a dozen in the suburbs of Xuzhou (that is, the suburbs of the Ming Dynasty). During Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Xuzhou people raised funds to build Bi Xia Wu Jun Temple on Mount Tai in the south of Xuzhou. Forty-five years after Qianlong, it was renamed Bixia Palace. Every April 15 to 18, the Taishan Temple Fair is held, and tens of thousands of people from the Sulu-Henan-Anhui border area come to incense fair.

In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Taoism still prevailed in Xuzhou. Taoist places in Xuzhou are: Chenghuang Temple (in the city, now Qingnian Road), Huanglou (in the northeast corner of the city, built in the Song Dynasty, after renovation, the old site of the Yellow River levee was relocated in the 1980s), Lingxiao Temple (in the northwest of the city, later called Doumu Palace), Zhenwu Temple (in Xiaojingya Lane) and Taishan laojunmiao. Among them, there is a statue of the city god in the city god temple, a couple in the back hall, several cloisters on both sides of the main hall, and the statue of the 18 th division of the underworld. In the Republic of China 17 (1928), Wei Liu, the commander of Tongshan county, responded to the activities of the northern expeditionary army to break feudal superstitions, led the masses to destroy temple statues, drove away monks and Taoist temples, and made Taoist temples useless.

At the beginning of 1940, Li, president of Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, served as a director, and formed a board of directors to raise funds to repair the Town God Temple and reshape the statue of the Town God. However, the corridors on both sides and the east side of the temple were used for other purposes, and the west side was occupied by the police station, and none of them were repaired. 1August, 945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the whole temple was used as a police station. After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the former site was used by the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Xuzhou Taoist gathered a few people in the Chenghuang Temple, and one or two people lived in the rest of the temples. In the case of Dojo, more than 10 people from each temple will be gathered to do it. There are (Chenghuang Temple), (Guo Lihuo Temple) and Zhou (laojunmiao), who are good at musical instruments and chanting. 1950, in the early days of the People's Republic of China, there were seven Taoist priests in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Taoism, along the righteous road (Shitian Road) rules, fasting and symbolic things, and the temple of the God of Wealth are often required signs and granted symbols. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, incense is more prosperous. The yellow house meets every year on the first day of the first lunar month 16. Bixia Palace, located in Taishan Mountain, south of the city, holds a meeting every April 15. Huangcheng and Huanglou temples were destroyed in the 1940s. Mount Tai Bixia Palace Temple Fair gathers hundreds of thousands of believers from Sulu, Henan and Anhui every year, which has continued to this day.

In May of the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947), the government approved the establishment of the "Xuzhou Taoist Association of Jiangsu Province", with its president Zhang Mingdong and its executive directors Li Zongke and Han Minglian. However, due to historical reasons, it was dissolved years later.
