Hùxiàn

Hu County lies south of the Wei River beneath the northern slopes of the Qinling. The Daoist master Wang Chongyang practised here in a self-dug retreat he called the Tomb of the Living Dead, before teaching at nearby Liujiang village. After his death in 1170, his disciples brought his body back for burial. Chongyang Palace grew around his grave and became a principal sanctuary of the Quanzhen school. The complex flourished under the Yuan, and its inscriptions preserve the history of the master and his disciples.
