Fuxi looked up at the astronomy, looked down at the geography, took in things close by, and took in things far away, the result of long-term observation. He understood the vague laws behind the phenomena of heaven, earth, and human affairs, and he discovered that amidst the endless changes, there is an unchanging Tai Chi place---Wudang Mountain and Taihe Mountain. Wudang Mountain is located in Wulongsi Mountain 20km southwest of Xiangyang, Hubei Province. Taihe Mountain is located 40KM west of Shiyan City, Hubei Province. It is a concentrated expression of Chinese Yi studies. Wudang and Taihe are cause and effect to each other, representing the two branches of the universe. There are mountains at the beginning and end, representing the other six branches. In the age of geocentrism, the ancients believed that Mount Wudang and Mount Taihe were the centers of heaven and earth, with changing yin and yang in the centers. Therefore, emperors of all dynasties regarded this place as their own back garden and carried out construction. It can be seen from the place where Fu Xi discovered Tai Chi that Wudang Mountain was discovered first and then Taihe Mountain. Because the word Taihe can be interpreted as having the same or consistent meaning, these two mountains fit the picture of Tai Chi. After interpreting its meaning, later generations built the East Shinto in Wudang Mountain, the West Shinto in Taihe Mountain, and the South Shinto and North Shinto respectively. This is the true origin of Wudang Mountain.
Since the Zhou Dynasty, many dignitaries have gone to Wudang Mountain and Taihe Mountain to practice, such as Yin Xi, the official of King Kang of Zhou Dynasty, Dai Meng, the general of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and so on. After the birth of Taoism at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wudang Mountain and Taihe Mountain became important places for Taoist activities in the Central Plains.
