Culture and History of Lushan Mountain
1. Landscape Culture
Lushan Mountain is a time-honored cultural mountain dotted with numerous scenic spots and historical relics. For thousands of years, countless literati, poets and patriots have left a wealth of paintings and enduring verses here.
Su Shi depicted the misty clouds of Lushan with the famous line:
Of Mountain Lu we cannot make out the true face,
For we are lost in the heart of the very place.
Li Bai wrote of the Mawei Waterfall at Xiufeng Peak:
Its torrential waters plunge three thousand feet,
As if the Silver River fell from heaven’s height.
Mao Zedong immortalized Immortal’s Cave, where Lü Dongbin practiced Taoist alchemy:
Nature has made an Immortal’s Cave;
The finest view lies on the perilous height.
These scenic spots blend perfectly with poetry, earning worldwide fame.
Other historic attractions include:
White Deer Cave Academy, ranking first among China’s Four Great Ancient Academies;
Small Heavenly Pool, where Zhu Yuanzhang stationed troops and watered horses during his battle with Chen Youliang on Poyang Lake;
River-Watching Pavilion, commanding a panoramic view of the winding Yangtze River;
Flower Path, where Bai Juyi strolled to admire peach blossoms;
Three Treasure Trees, millennial ancient trees;
Hanpo Pass, the perfect viewpoint for sunrise over Poyang Lake;
Botanical Garden housing more than 3,000 plant species;
Five Elders Peak, shaped like five elders sitting side by side;
Three-Tiered Spring Waterfall with splashing cascades of water;
Gulian Spring, praised by Lu Yu as the No.1 Spring under Heaven;
Zhaoyin Spring, the Sixth Spring under Heaven;
Dragon Pool atop Heavenly Pool Peak, listed as the Tenth Spring under Heaven.
2. Religious Culture
The Four Great Buddhist Mountains of China are household names across the nation. As a World Cultural Landscape Heritage site, Lushan boasts even more fascinating religious traditions.
Its most distinctive feature is summed up in the saying: Six religions coexist on one mountain — a rarity nowhere else on earth.
On this mist-shrouded sacred mountain, Buddhism and Taoism evolved from bitter rivalry to harmonious coexistence.
Four other vibrant faiths were also introduced here: Protestantism, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and Islam.
They took root and flourished on Lushan, turning the mountain into a gathering place of religions and an earthly Eden for believers. Religious culture occupies an exceptionally prominent position in Lushan’s overall cultural heritage
