Mt.Huangshan is the Western Mountain of the Five Sacred Mountains (other four famouse mountains:the Eastern Tai Mountain, the Southern Hengshan Mountain,the Central Song Mountain,the Northern Hengshan Mountain ).It is the second highest to the Northern Mountain -- Hengshan Mountain and praised as "the First Odd Mountain in the World". Its craggedness is superior to the other four sacred mountains. Qingcheng Mountain is one of the birthplaces of the Taoist religion. With over 20 temples and religious sites for Taoism, it exudes a strong flavor of Taoist culture and the buildings demonstrate the Sichuan style of architecture. Tao (pronounced "Dow") can be roughly translated into English as path, or the way. It is basically indefinable. It "refers to a power which envelops, surrounds and flows through all things, living and non-living. The Tao regulates natural processes and nourishes balance in the Universe. It embodies the harmony of opposites (i.e. there would be no love without hate, no light without dark, no male without female.)"
