武当山，还有多少你不知道的事？

武当山，位于湖北省西北部，是著名的道教圣地。道教是中国传统文化的根柢，道教的核心是尊道贵德，以长生求仙为追求目标，以修炼丹药为修道途径，以符箓斋醮为拯救手段，这些都成为中国传统文化不可分割的部分并影响至今。

Wudang Mountain，located in the northwest of Hubei Province, is a famous Taoist holy land. Taoism is the root of Chinese traditional culture. It stresses Tao and Teh and pursues longevity and immortality.Practitioners concoct pills of immortalityas a means of cultivation and use Fulu talismans and Zhaijiao ('fasting and offering')rituals to dispelevil spirits and heal the sick.These have become an inseparable part of Chinese traditional culture, and their influenceis still felt today.

楚地是道教的主要发源地，先秦时期，楚地已有原始道教，为道教形成奠定了基础。道教发展到元明时期，吸收佛教、儒家某些精神的全真道得到朝廷支持，天师道等教派则合并为正一道，形成道教全真、正一两大派的格局。明成祖自认为是真武大帝的化身，大力扶持武当全真派，并以武当山为皇家道场。武当山保存了迄今为止中国最大的气势磅礴的道教古建筑群，被联合国教科文组织列入《世界文化遗产名录》。武当山许多珍贵的道教文物被湖北省博物馆收藏。

The territory of Chu is animportantbirthplaceof Taoism. In the pre-Qin period, primitive Taoism already emerged in the territory of Chu, which laid a foundation for the formation of Taoism. By the Yuan and Ming dynasties, there co-existedtwo major schools of Taoism: the Quanzhen School, which borrowed some ideas of Buddhism and Confucianism andwon the support of the imperial court,and the Zhengyi School, which was combined by the Tianshi School and other schools.Emperor Chengzu of Ming considered himself the embodiment of Zhenwu Dadi ('True Warrior Great Deity').He vigorously supported the Quanzhen School of Taoism and established an imperial Taoist temple on Wudang mountain. Today, Wudang Mountain is still home to the largest and most magnificent ancient Taoist complex in China, whichis inscribed on UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List. Many precious Taoist artefacts from Wudang Mountain have been collected by the HBPM.
