Mount Wutai was originally the residence of immortal alchemists, hence the name Zifu. Instead, it is called Zifu Mountain, also known as Wufeng Mountain Dojo. There was once a Zifu Temple, which was a place for Taoist priests to practice. "Qingliang Mountain Chronicles" states that when the Buddhist Manjusri Bodhisattva first came to China, he lived in a stone basin cave, and the stone basin was in the Taoist Xuanzhen Temple. This shows that Mount Wutai was inhabited by Taoists at that time.
Huixiang, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, quoted from the "Immortal Sutra" in his "Ancient Qingliang Biography" and said: Wutai Mountain is called Zifu, where there is always a purple atmosphere, and immortals live there. The "Biography" volume also says: In the third year of Yongjia in the Jin Dynasty, more than 100 families from Yanmen County came to this mountain to avoid chaos. When they saw the mountain people, they drove away and never returned, so they settled in the wild rocks. Those who travel back and forth will always look forward to the people who live there. I went to Yi to look for it, but I didn't know where it was. I thought this mountain was the capital of immortals.

In the eleventh year of Yongping (68 years), Kasyapa Mateng and Zhu Falan came to Wutai Mountain (then called Qingliang Mountain). Since King Asoka's stupa had been there for a long time in the mountain, and Mount Wutai was the place where Manjushri Bodhisattva taught and lived, the two built a temple here.
