After passing through the 18 bends of the wealth road, you will enter the first major hall of the Zhaogong God of Wealth Temple. The Hall of Prayer for Luck enshrines the Three Goddesses of the Sky. The Three Goddesses of the Sky is the collective name of Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, also known as the Three Goddesses of the Sky and the Three Goddesses of the Sky. They are three Taoist fairies who are the three sisters and junior sisters of Zhao Gongming, the founder of the God of Wealth. There is a tomb of the Three Goddesses in the mountains not far from the Zhaogong God of Wealth Temple. The Hall of Prayer for Luck (the Hall of the Three Goddesses of the Sky) mainly worships the Three Goddesses of the Sky. The Three Goddesses of the Sky possess the magic weapons Hunyuan Golden Bowl and Golden Jiaoscissors, which are responsible for luck, seeking children, and peace.

Zhaogong Ancestral Temple was first built in Jin Dynasty and flourished in Tang and Song Dynasty. It inherited the incense of Taoist Xuantan and is the birthplace of Chinese God of Wealth culture. It is a holy place for Chinese people around the world to seek their roots and worship the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth Temple enshrines the main deity of the ancestral temple - the golden statue of Zhao Gongming, the ancestor of China's God of Wealth. Zhao Gongming, also known as Zhao Xuantan and Zhao Gong Marshal, is the main god of wealth in China. He is in charge of the world's wealth and commands the four gods of Zhaobao, Nazhen, Zhaocai and Lishi. He is responsible for welcoming auspiciousness and blessings and merchants' transactions.

Marshal Zhao Gongming in the main hall has a golden face and wears armor inside and a Taoist robe outside, which reflects that the founder of Taoism was a military general. He is stepping on a black tiger, which means stepping on a tiger, which means wealth. He holds a golden whip with 24 sections in his hand, which corresponds to the 24 solar terms, implying that Taoism follows nature. The golden whip with 24 sections also hides the immortal's words that Taoism flourished in the 24 solar terms.

On both sides of the main hall are enshrined the incarnations of Bigan, the civil god of wealth, Fan Li, the military god of wealth, Guan Gong, and Zhao Gongming.

The three mysterious characters on Zhaogong Mountain, which are the same as those of the Mayan civilization, have been unsolved for thousands of years and are known as peerless heavenly books. Local people call these three stone characters the immortal symbols of Zhaogong Mountain.

According to folklore, demons once appeared in the Zhaogong Mountain area, and the people were disturbed. Finally, a Taoist priest carved this stone talisman, which made the demons in the mountain dare not harm people. The locals are superstitious about this "immortal talisman", and believe that this stone talisman is a lucky talisman for peace and good fortune. It can avoid danger and bring good fortune, turn danger into safety, and bring wealth and good fortune. Over the years, Zhaogong Mountain has experienced many ups and downs and disasters, but thanks to this talisman, it has been able to turn danger into good fortune every time, and the green mountains remain safe and sound...

The only museum in China that focuses on displaying and promoting the culture of the God of Wealth. The museum has a total of 9 exhibition halls, of which 6 are partially open: the Zhaogongshan Hall, the Stone Sculpture Hall, the Wood Sculpture Hall, the Ceramic Sculpture Hall, the New Year Painting Hall, and the Talisman Hall. For ecological protection reasons, these exhibition halls were renovated from original buildings and even firewood rooms, kitchens, and old houses. All exhibits span the history from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and come from various regions at home and abroad. They comprehensively sort out and display the relationship between the God of Wealth culture and the ancient Shu culture, Taoist culture, and folk culture, and provide a detailed and systematic interpretation of the traditional Chinese belief in the God of Wealth and wealth culture.

Doumu Yuanjun and Taisui God are worshipped. Doumu Yuanjun, abbreviated as "Doumu", is also known as "Doumu Yuanjun" or "Zhongtian Fanqi Doumu Yuanjun". Doumu is a unique god worshipped by Taoism. "Dou" refers to the stars of the Big Dipper, and "mu" refers to mother. The Taoist scriptures say that Doumu is "the mother of the stars of the Big Dipper". She assists the Jade Emperor in managing the stars, so her status is very honorable.

There are sixty Tai Sui gods corresponding to the sixty Jiazi, with one on duty every year. The Tai Sui on duty that year is called the "Taisui of the Year", the emperor of the year, in charge of the good and bad fortune of the world that year. Ancient books say: Tai Sui is like a king, the emperor of the year, the head of all gods, the master of all evil spirits, and should not be offended. If you offend him, it will be disastrous, so you should respect and fear him.

The Wenchang Emperor is also known as the Zitong Emperor and Wenquxing. He is the god who dominates fame and official positions, and is the patron saint of scholars who study, write, and take the imperial examinations.

The main hall of the rebuilt Zhaogong Wealth Temple. The main hall is dedicated to the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, and the two sides of the hall are dedicated to the civil and military gods of wealth. Marshal Zhao Gongming in the hall has a golden face, armor inside and a Taoist robe outside, reflecting that the God of Wealth was born as a military general and the founder of Taoism; his feet are on a black tiger, which means stepping on a tiger, which means wealth; he holds a 24-section golden whip in his hand, which corresponds to the 24 solar terms, implying the meaning of Taoism following nature. The 24-section golden whip also hides the immortal's words that Taoism flourished in the 24 reigns.

The temple is dedicated to the Medicine King Sun Simiao. The Medicine King Patriarch is commonly known as "Medicine King" in folk culture, and is revered in Taoism as "Nine Heavens Interviewing the Three Realms Medicine King Heavenly Doctor Great Sage", "Kaiyuan Pudu Tianzun", "Ganying Pujiu Tianzun", etc. Sun Simiao never served as an official in his life, but lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, studying the art of health and longevity, and personally collecting and preparing medicines to treat people. He was extremely compassionate, a great saint with great wishes, and extremely wonderful and divine. Later generations revered him as the "Medicine King". In his later years, Sun Simiao traveled to Qingcheng Mountain and found that it was simply a treasure trove of medicines. He felt that his previous book "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" was not complete, so he decided to write "Thousand Gold Wing Prescriptions" to make up for the shortcomings of "Thousand Gold Prescriptions".

The thousand-year-old ginkgo tree is the guardian tree of the ancestral temple, with an age of more than 1,200 years. In 2011, the Dujiangyan Municipal Government listed it as an ancient and famous tree for protection.

It is said that this tree grew from the evil-repelling fruit that Zhao Gongming, the founder of the God of Wealth, scattered when he built an altar to exorcise demons. The tree faces the eastern valley, welcoming the purple air from the east, and hangs on the cliff without withering. Whenever there is a disaster in the 800-li Qingcheng, this tree will appear and protect the four directions. For this reason, the local mountain people also call this ginkgo tree the thousand-year-old evil-repelling tree.

During the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree showed a miraculous phenomenon. After the first wave of the earthquake, Zhaogong Mountain began to be covered by dark clouds, and a golden light appeared above the Zhaogong Ancestral Temple and the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree. The second wave of the earthquake shook the mountain and the earth, and the light above the Zhaogong Ancestral Temple and the ancient ginkgo tree expanded, soon covering the entire natural village. The Wenchuan earthquake was the most destructive earthquake since the founding of New China, and the epicenter was in Yingxiu Town behind the ridge of Zhaogong Mountain. Yingxiu Town and the Dujiangyan urban area in front of Zhaogong Mountain, the Zipingpu scenic area on the left side of the mountain, and the Qingcheng Mountain scenic area on the right side of the mountain were all severely damaged, but Longfeng Village, centered on the Zhaogong Ancestral Temple and the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, remained green, with no houses destroyed and no casualties among people and animals.

During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Dengjun was the top military scholar.

The Thanksgiving Monument commemorates the story of Chen Dengjun, a royal guard from Xinjin, who was inspired by the God of Wealth in his dream to save Emperor Tongzhi (1845) on the way to deliver the coffin of Emperor Xianfeng. After being awarded the title of No. 1 in Military Scholarship, he expressed his gratitude and donated a temple at Baiguantai on Zhaogong Mountain.

The inscription reads as follows:

Gratitude Monument

I have heard that the great wizard Zhao Gongming of the ancient Da Mian Shuo Luo Kingdom took a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and disappeared and ascended to heaven. I was very suspicious. In the fourth year of Tongzhi, when the Nian bandits invaded Beijing, I traveled to the capital and followed Zhao Gongming's instructions in a dream to save the emperor on the way to protect the coffin. After being granted the title of martial arts champion, I found the place where Zhao Gongming ascended to heaven under the Baiguan Terrace on Da Mian Mountain, and I went there to visit it and erected a monument to mark the place.

Wenjiang County Chen Dengjun bows his head in gratitude

The Three Pure Ones are the three supreme gods of Taoism. The Jade Pure One Yuanshi Tianzun was born before Taiwu and at the beginning of Yuanqi. When the immeasurable calamities came, he used the mysterious Tao to educate sentient beings, so he was revered as Yuanshi Tianzun. The Upper Pure One Lingbao Tianzun, with the method of Lingbao, has been saving people in the world. After 990 billion calamities, the number of people he has saved is as numerous as dust and sand, which is incalculable. The Great Pure One Daode Tianzun, that is, the Supreme Lord Laojun and the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, lives in the Taiqing Fairyland of the Great Red Heaven above the Thirty-three Heavens, and dominates and symbolizes the third century of the formation of heaven and earth and the birth of all things.

The temple is dedicated to Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism. Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, entered Sichuan during the Eastern Han Dynasty and co-founded Taoism with Zhao Gongming, the leader of the Wujiao in Zhaogong Mountain, Qingcheng. Zhang Daoling once set up a Taoist altar in Qingcheng Mountain and fought against the eight ghost generals. After founding the religion, he worshipped Zhao Gongming, the leader of the Wujiao, as the Marshal of the Zhengyi Xuantan. After Marshal Zhao Gong ascended to heaven at Baiguantai in Damian Mountain, he became the first great god of wealth among the Chinese people.

Cihang Taoist, also known as Cihang Fairy Zhenren, Cihang Pudu Tianzun, Cihang Pudu Yuantong Zizai Tianzun, is the ninth disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. He practiced in Luojia Cave on Putuo Mountain. Cihang Taoist vowed to save all men and women in the world, and used elixirs and nectar to help people. People in Nanhai called him Cihang Dashi.

The platform where Zhao Gongming, the founder of the God of Wealth, cultivated himself and attained enlightenment. Legend has it that Zhao Gongming dug up a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum while cultivating on the Feisheng Platform, boiled it with the water of the Fountain of Youth and ate it, and then poured the Polygonum multiflorum soup along the temple and the stone platform for a circle of wine. Gongming ascended and disappeared into the sky in the curling smoke and became an immortal. Because Zhao Gongming ascended and became a god here, there are sayings that "there was the Feisheng Platform first, and then there was Zhaogong Mountain" and "all the temples of the God of Wealth in the world originated from the Feisheng Platform". The Feisheng Platform is now a landmark of the Chinese God of Wealth culture, and is recognized by Chinese people at home and abroad as the origin of the God of Wealth culture.

According to legend, it was planted by Zhao Gongming, the ancestor of the God of Wealth, when he was practicing Taoism on the Ascension Platform.

Nanmu resembles Buddha's hand, a "bundle of firewood" and the ladder to heaven in ancient Shu culture, symbolizing happiness, auspiciousness, wealth and good fortune.

Nanmu is a plant endemic to China, a second-level endangered species under national protection, and a famous and precious timber species. Nanmu has a hard wood with a special fragrance, and was historically used exclusively by the royal family. Due to the felling and utilization of successive dynasties, there are very few large trees of Nanmu left, especially the golden nanmu, which is mostly found in the deep mountains of Sichuan and Shu, and its price is comparable to gold.

Under reconstruction. The building is built in the style of western Sichuan folk houses. The Zhaogong Temple of the God of Wealth, from the mountain gate to the Ascension Platform, shows the evolution of Zhao Gongming, the ancestor of the God of Wealth, from a god to a human, and then from a human to a god. After Zhao Gongming and Zhang Ling co-founded Taoism, he was worshipped as the Marshal of the Xuantan Guardian. The Marshal Hall is dedicated to Zhao Gongming, the Marshal of the Xuantan Guardian of Taoism.

The world's first temple of the God of Wealth. It was first built in the Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It inherited the incense of the Taoist Xuantan and enshrined the golden statue of Zhao Gongming, the ancestor of the Chinese God of Wealth. It is the ancestral temple of Zhao Gongming, the ancestor of the Chinese God of Wealth, the birthplace of the Chinese God of Wealth culture, and a holy place for Chinese people around the world to seek their roots and worship the God of Wealth.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling founded a religion and worshipped Zhao Gongming as the marshal of the Zhengyi Xuantan Dharma Protector. Zhao Gongming drank Xuantan old wine and took thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum beside the immortal spring of Zhaogong Mountain. After he ascended to Fengshentai and became the Golden Wheel Ruyi Zhengyi Xuantan Dragon and Tiger True Lord, the hermit built a temple to worship him and renamed the mountain Zhaogong Mountain. Therefore, there are sayings that "there was Feishengtai first, and then Zhaogong Mountain" and "The temples of the God of Wealth in the world originated from Feishengtai".

After the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang stayed in Baiguantai because he missed Yang Guifei. Also, because Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinhua of Tang practiced Taoism here and became Taoists, this place became a royal Taoist temple complex of the Tang Dynasty.

Throughout history, the Zhaogong Temple of the God of Wealth has been destroyed and rebuilt several times in wars, but it has always been popular. Worshiping and welcoming the God of Wealth is a reflection of the simple emotions of the Chinese working people, and carries their beautiful wishes for a peaceful and prosperous life.

Taoist Talisman Culture Exhibition Hall.

The 30th Heavenly Master Zhang Jixian recorded in "Opening the Altar Dharma Words": The Dharma talismans of my family can move the heaven and earth above, shake the mountains and rivers below, command dragons and tigers with wisdom, and control ghosts and gods with mystery. Their merits can revive the decayed body, and their cultivation can free one from life and death. They can stabilize the country and ward off disasters with wisdom.

The talisman culture is one of the most unique cultures in Taoism. It has a long history, is profound and brilliant. Simply put, "talismans" are some mysterious symbols or words written on paper (or other media) by Taoists when performing rituals. "Talismans" focus on symbols, while "lu" focuses on words.

Taoism believes that talismans are the writings of gods and are symbols that convey the will of gods. They can be used to summon gods, exorcise ghosts, subdue demons, and cure diseases and eliminate disasters.

The talisman school is proud of its earth-shaking spells. When the high-level masters concentrate their minds and gather their energy to draw the talismans, the key to making them effective is to summon the gods and generals, and to mobilize the gods and generals to input powerful energy into the talismans. At this time, the knot of evil spirits is very important. If the knot of evil spirits is not in the right place, it will be difficult for the gods and generals to enter the talisman, and they will not be able to follow the laws of heaven and earth, and they will not be able to communicate with the gods and generals in heaven to sense the heaven and man. Moreover, once the innate talisman falls to the ground, the magic power will gradually disappear over time. If there is no secret taboo of the knot of evil spirits, the talisman will be more easily discovered by ghosts, demons, evil spirits, and filth, and even occupy the shape of the palace and do evil.

Therefore, the key points of the talisman are the strongest guarantee for its effectiveness. After a secret talisman is drawn by a high-level magician using cinnabar and imperial cloth, it is refined by water and thunder altars. Only in this way can it be free of taboos and protect the owner of the blessing.

According to legend, this is the spring where the God of Wealth drinks every day. This spring is sweet and clear, and never runs dry all year round. Locals also call it the source of wealth.

Legend has it that the God of Wealth used the water from the Fountain of Youth to make wine, and the fragrance spread across the mountains. Later, the God of Wealth dug up a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum on the Ascension Platform behind the Fountain of Youth, and after taking it with wine, he ascended to heaven and became an immortal. The house he lived in also disappeared, leaving only a half-jar of unfinished old wine next to the stove.

Nowadays, all the water used in the ancestral temple is still taken from the Fountain of Youth. Many people come from far away to drink the water in order to pray for good health, good fortune and prosperity.

The symbiotic tree is called "a bundle of firewood" or the money tree. Its trunk is made up of different tree species such as mulberry, privet, etc., which are twisted together like bundles of firewood.

The ancient Shu people believed that Zhaogong Mountain was the highest mountain at the source of the Minjiang River and could reach the heaven, so they also called Zhaogong Mountain Zaitian Mountain; the ancient Shu people believed that the symbiotic tree was a ladder to heaven, and that wizards could communicate with gods through "a bundle of firewood", and that "a bundle of firewood" could bring back good news, peace and wealth to the world.

After Zhao Gongming became the Chinese folk god of wealth, people regarded a "bundle of firewood" as a money tree and a symbol of wealth. The locals have the custom of "carrying firewood home", which represents the psychological expectation of bringing wealth into the home and good luck.

The Folk Customs Exhibition Hall of the God of Wealth Culture.

The temple is dedicated to the black tiger ridden by the God of Wealth, Zhao Yuanshuai. Because people today love cats for wealth, it is also called the Black Cat Temple. There are dozens of cats in the temple, so it has become a favorite cat-stroking spot for young people. There is also a saying that "there are imperial cats in the Forbidden City in the north and Zhao Gong's fortune cat in the south".

It is the platform where Zhao Gongming, the founder of the legendary God of Wealth, turned stones into gold.

According to legend, there was no gold in Zhaogong Mountain in ancient times, but the God of Wealth could not bear the poverty of the mountain people and turned stones into gold. Since then, the gold mining industry in Zhaogong Mountain has been prosperous since the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was not until 1988 when Guan County was abolished and Dujiangyan City was established that Zhaogong Mountain Gold Company was deregistered and closed down.

According to the 2007 survey, there are 202 caves left over from gold mining in Zhaogong Mountain. Therefore, Zhaogong Mountain has been known as a place full of gold and jade since ancient times, and Jintang Town and Yutang Town at the foot of the mountain also got their names from this.

The idiom "Turning stone into gold" originated from Zhaogong Mountain and has been widely circulated in later generations, embodying the working people's yearning for a better life.

It is dedicated to the incarnation of Zhao Yuanshuai before his ascension - the great wizard Zhao Gongming. According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Records of Classics", Zhao Gongming descended from the essence of the sun to Qingcheng Mountain, saving the world and saving people, and later became the leader of the ancient Shu Wujiao. During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling went to Sichuan alone, and together with Zhao Gongming, they relied on and improved the primitive Wujiao in western Sichuan, and founded the Zhengyi Mengwei Sect, also known as the Wudoumi Sect, in Qingcheng Mountain. After Zhang Ling founded the sect, he worshipped Zhao Gongming, the leader of the Wujiao, as the Marshal of the Zhengyi Xuantan Guardian, in charge of the money and grain of the sect. After Zhao Yuanshuai ascended to heaven at Baiguantai in Damian Mountain, "The Investiture of the Gods" named Zhao Gongming as the Golden Wheel Ruyi Zhengyi Longhu Xuantan Zhenjun according to the history and folk legends of Taoism, becoming the first God of Wealth in China who was in charge of wealth, and the main God of Wealth among the five gods of wealth.

This is the historical place where the beautiful love story described in Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" took place.

After the An-Shi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang went to Sichuan and missed Yang Guifei day and night. "The Taoist priest Hong Du Ke from Linqiong can summon the soul with his sincerity. In order to express his gratitude to the emperor for his thoughts, he asked the Taoist priests to search diligently." According to the history of the Tang Dynasty, the Taoist priest Hong Du Ke from Linqiong was Yang Tongyou, a Taoist priest from Baiguantai on Zhaogong Mountain. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang stayed at Baiguantai and asked him to perform rituals to find Yang Guifei. The second half of the Song of Everlasting Regret records this event, which has become the most beautiful love poem through the ages.

After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang left, this place became a group of royal Taoist temples of the Tang Dynasty. In the first year of Taiji, Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinhua of Tang also practiced and became Taoists here, and were buried on the side of the mountain after their death.
