According to the stele, Longmen Cave "originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and was built in the Western Han Dynasty." According to records, Yin Xi, a doctor of the Zhou Dynasty, abandoned his post and returned to the mountain, hiding in Lingxian Rock. After Mr. Lou Jing of the Han Dynasty lived in seclusion, it was renamed Jingfu Mountain. Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, avoided the edict and lived in seclusion, practicing medicine to help the world. In the Yuan Dynasty, Qiu Chuji came here from Panxi, Baoji, and lived here. At that time, it was called Longmen Mountain, and there was only one Yuwang Temple at the foot of the mountain dedicated to Dayu's water control. Later, it was changed to Longmen Cave, and the scenery was added. Qiu was also the founder of the Longmen School of Taoism. 📌Tips: The road to the top is paved with wooden planks and built on the cliff. Those who are afraid of heights should climb carefully. It is easy to climb up the mountain but difficult to climb down.
