Introduction to Huangshan Mountain (黄山)
Huangshan Mountain was collectively known as Yishan which means Black Mountains during the Qin Dynasty (221 – 206 BC) due to its dark peaks. Then a follower of Taoism changed its name to Huangshan in June of the year 747. His decree was based on Taoist writings on Huang Di that the Yellow Emperor and ancestor to the Chinese nation and how he created his elixir of immortality on Huangshan. As set out in this Taoist volume, after working on a secret elixir for 480 years Huang Di took seven pills, achieved immortality and flew to Heaven. |
