It is said that during the Reign of Tang Ganning, zhao Zhiwei, a famous Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, founded Yanhua View on Fenghuang Ridge, Mount Jiuhua. The emperor did not go out, so he sent envoys to give him a blue cloud star crown, blue xia feather clothes.
In the small letters of Sanshui written by Huang Fumei in the Tang Dynasty, there is a magical story about Zhao Zhiwei exerting his magic power to turn the stormy sky into a clear and sunny one:
Jiuhua Mountain Taoist Zhao Zhiwei when he was young with the ambition of Lingyun, entered the Jiuhua Mountain, in fenghuang Ridge before the lu, full day reading Taoist scriptures, exercise the mind, to cymbidium as clothing, to pine and cypress as food, penance for decades. Many curious people in the world went to him to learn.
Huangfu Xuan really in zhao zhiwei side hospitality, learning, as long as 15 years. In the twelfth year of The Tang Dynasty, Zhao Zhiwei sent Huangfu Xuanzhen to the capital because the mountain alchemical needed western medicine. Huangfu Xuanzhen in the capital when living in yuzhi view on the Qing Dynasty, At that time, Huangfu Mei lived in the lanling house, every day with Huangfu Xuanzhen, then inquire about the situation of Zhao Zhiwei.
Huangfu Xuanzhen said, “Since my master’s enlightenment, no one can see the sleepy expression on his face. He used to say, ‘I have long mastered the art of fogging up a mullet, but I despise them. ‘”
One year it rained heavily from the beginning of August until the evening of the autumn of the fifteenth day. I said to the brothers: “It is a pity that the Mid-Autumn Festival is just a bitter rain.” Not long after this, the master suddenly ordered the waiter to prepare the fruit and summoned all his disciples to him. He asked, “May I climb To Tianzhu Peak to enjoy the moon?” Although the disciples verbally promised to say “yes”, they privately remarked that it was so dark and raining so heavily that if they really wanted to walk, they must have fallen and broken their legs. After a while, master went out on crutches, and we had to follow him closely.
When we opened the gate and went out, the sky was clear and the moon was bright as day. We pulled the rattan and climbed to the top of the tianzhu summit. The master was sitting on a cushion of dark leopard skin. His disciples were on either side of him, sitting on the grass. We raise a cup together, drinking while reciting jin Guo Pu a few fairy poems. Some of the disciples were singing in the air, some were stepping on the hollow peak, and some were playing on the drum. They did not return to the mountain house until the moon was hidden behind the distant mountain.
When they had all gone to bed, the wind and rain began to fall again, as before, and they had reached the acme of their reverence for the master’s art.
Huangfu Xuanzhen’s chess skill has no opponent, alchemy is also deep to its essence. He returned to Jiuhua Mountain in Spring in March and has not been to Luoyang since. Zhao zhiwei was good at educating people, so among his students there were such outstanding people as Huang Fu Xuanzhen.
It is said that under the Peach cliff waterfall of Jiuhua Mountain, floating peach stream is also related to Zhao Zhiwei. Zhao Zhiwei and his disciples planted many peach trees at the foot of Fengqi Peak. In late Spring, peach trees bloom in March. Zhao Zhiwei often drank with his disciples in the peach forest. When the peaches are ripe, they do not pluck them, but let them fall in the ravines and drift away. Local residents enjoy the benefits, from the stream out of the sweet as honey peach, are said to be given by the fairy family “fairy fruit”. This stream also got its name as “floating peach stream”.
Chen Yan, a hermit and poet in the Yuan Dynasty, sang “Bitaoyan”, comparing what Zhao Zhiwei did to “spring” in order to show his reverence for Zhao Zhiwei. Poems said:
Since you want to eat not escape Qin, jian door partition world dust.
In the mountains do not buy the old calendar, open to the peach know is spring.
In the fifth year of Ganning (898), Zhao Zhiwei attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Mount Jiuhua was listed as the 39th blessed land by Taoists.
