The Taoist priests of Qingcheng Mountain have ingeniously utilized withered trees as pillars, bark as roofing, tree roots as seats, and branches and ancient vines as decorations to construct the Natural Pavilion, a three-story high pavilion. From top to bottom, the three levels symbolize Heaven, Humanity, and Earth, embodying the Taoist concept of the ‘Three Talents of Heaven, Humanity, and Earth.’ The pavilion where Po’s father appears in the Hollywood animated blockbuster ‘Kung Fu Panda 2’ is indeed here.
Many Taoist buildings also have three levels, aligning with the Taoist cosmological view that ‘The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things,’ meaning that ‘The Tao’ is the only existence, absolutely without even numbers. On the pavilion columns, there is a couplet: ‘Mist and clouds reminisce about old companions, mountains and moons await visitors. ‘Opening hours are subject to the actual operating status on the day.
