It has long been loved by hermits of all ages and is a place where Taoists wander and live. According to the stele, Longmen Cave "began in the Spring and Autumn Period and was built in the Western Han Dynasty".

During the Warring States Period, the place was renamed Dutandong. During the reign of Emperor Jingwen of the Western Han Dynasty, Mr. Lou Jing, Marquis of Jianxin, who had served as the emperor's minister, abandoned his official position and became a Taoist. In his later years, he lived in seclusion and practiced here, and changed its name to Jingfu Mountain. Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, avoided imperial edicts and lived in seclusion, administering medicine to help the world. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Ma Danyang and Qiu Chuji, the "seven immortals" of Taoism, practiced and preached here. Qiu Chuji came to live here from Fenxi, Baoji, and practiced here for seven years. It was called Longmen Mountain at that time. At the foot of the back mountain, there was only one dedicated to Dayu for his flood control. A temple of King Yu. Later, the name of the mountain was changed to Longmen Cave, the landscape was added, and the Longmen School of Taoism was founded. Qiu was also the founder of the Longmen School of Taoism, becoming the most accomplished Quanzhen Taoist in the history of Chinese Taoism. Qiu Chuji was respected by the three dynasties of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. He was summoned by Jin Shizong and Yuan Taizu many times. He was appointed as a national teacher by Genghis Khan and took charge of Taoism across the country. Since then, Longmen Cave has become famous and entered into glory. Manchuria reached its peak. His disciples followed the mountains and rivers, took advantage of the scenery, built temples, built grand temples, and expanded the scale. Since then, Longmen Cave has been repaired and expanded by a group of military and political dignitaries and good men and women, including Yang Hucheng and Sun Weiru. It has also been repeatedly destroyed by war and fire, and finally formed its current appearance.
According to the Yuchen Palace Stele of the Yuan Dynasty, in the 52 years after the death of Qiu Chuji, the founder of the Longmen Taoist Sect, He Zhizhen, the disciple of the Taoist sect, and the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (1266) agreed to build Qiu’s old residence. It was built in six years (1279), but its scale has not been tested. He Zhizhen and others followed the rules of Quanzhen Taoism, left home and settled in the forest to practice. They overhauled the palaces and temples and built a grand mountain gate. In addition, Qiu Chuji was named a national master by the Jin and Yuan dynasties and led the Taoism in the country. He was respected both inside and outside Taoism. The reputation of Longmen Cave continued. A big earthquake. Later generations built palaces and temples, added colors and landscapes, and the Taoist temple pattern gradually became complete and complete, becoming a major Taoist jungle in northern Shaanxi, and the scenic spots in the country can last forever.

The Longmen Taoist Sect is a branch of the Quanzhen Sect of Taoism and has a greater influence within the Taoism. Qiu Chuji converted the Longmen Sect into formal Taoism based on Quanzhen teachings, and taught disciples, allowing it to develop further. He played a major role in the northern sect of Taoism and was an influential key figure. The Longmen branch was named because he lived in Longmen Cave, Longzhou.
Qiu Chuji (1148-1227), a native of Qixia County, Dengzhou, Shandong Province, was born in the late Southern Song Dynasty (1148-1227 AD). His courtesy name was Tongmi, his Taoist name was Changchunzi, his original name was Qiu Ge, and Qiu Chuji was his master. Given by Wang Chongyang. During the 13 years of practice in Longmen Cave, Qiu Chuji perfected Quanzhen Taoism and gradually became the most accomplished Quanzhen Taoist in the history of Chinese Taoism. He was respected by the three dynasties of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. He was summoned by Jin Shizong and Yuan Taizu many times. He was canonized as a national teacher by Genghis Khan and took charge of Taoism across the country. Since then, Longmen Cave has become famous and entered into glory and fame. China has reached its peak. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once wrote a couplet in the Baiyun Temple in Beijing: "Eternal beauty does not require looking at the clouds to seek the secret. Only by saying a word to stop killing can you know that there is a magical power to save the world." He spoke highly of Qiu Chuji's feat. To this day, there are still relics left in Longmen Cave such as the grinding stone of Qiuzu Cave and the stone carving of "Qingtian Song".
In the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1662-1722), Wang Changyue, the abbot of Baiyunguan, publicly taught ordination. From then on, the Longmen sect flourished, with more than a thousand disciples receiving ordination at one time. The disciples of Longmen were named according to the single rotation of the designated sect. The name was originally 20 characters, but as the number of disciples multiplied, it was increased to 100 characters. Because the Chuan sect was founded by Qiu Chuji, who had a high reputation and lived in Longmen Cave, his disciples were naturally the authentic disciples of the Longmen sect. However, Baiyunguan is the place where Qiu settled after being conferred by the imperial court, and Hu County Zu'an is where Wang Chongyang is buried. Therefore, the disciples accepted by the three places are all considered to be disciples of the Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Sect, and all three places are regarded by believers. It is the birthplace of the Longmen branch and is revered (Wang Chongyang is called the founder of the Quanzhen religion within the Taoism, and Qiu Chuji is the leader. The true direct descendant of Longmen refers to the descendant of Zhao Xujing after Qiu Chuji). Therefore, Longmen Cave, Baiyun Temple in Beijing, Yongle Palace in Shanxi Province, and Chongyang Palace in Hu County, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province are called the "ancestral palaces of the Quanzhen Sect".
He was disappointed at the time, but when he came out of the hole, he was overjoyed to see that the wood chips had turned into gold nuggets. But although this man had seen through the world, he was extremely greedy and selfish. He only spent a small amount of gold to build the temple, and the rest was taken to his home. He was not greedy enough, so he went into the cave to carry it on his back for the second time, and pretended to carry it out with a heavy back. However, he was so happy that he forgot about it, made a mistake, and fell into the Black Tiger Pond under the Weiyun Bridge. The locals say that he was beaten into the pond by the Black Tiger Spirit Officer guarding the mountain with an iron whip. He also said that after his death, he turned into a big turtle. In the future, fellow villagers who went to the mountains to offer incense would call Wang Dao's name by the pond, and the turtle would come out of the water and nod to the villagers. Someone disliked his greed and turned into an alien, bringing shame to his fellow villagers, so he spit on him. From then on, he went to the bottom of the pond in shame and never showed his face again. 4. The Daoist Stone and the Shuanma Stone, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, because the imperial advisor Qiu Chuji once lived in Longmen Cave and heard that the scenery here is very good, he brought his relatives and ministers to visit. The rocks on the east side of Dingxin Peak He discussed the Quanzhen Taoism with the disciples of the Longmen Sect at that time, and left a Taoist Stone and the "Supreme Tan Xuan Stele" in front of the peak. Because he had many guards and the place was full of stone walls, there was nowhere to tie his horse, so he tied his horse to a crow's mouth-shaped cliff overhanging the front mountain gate. This trace has been passed down to this day.
