Peng Zu Shan Mountain
Peng zu Mountain is a unique tourism destination of longevity and sex culture in China. Peng zu shan is located in Pengshan county, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, and is 65 kms away from south of Chengdu. The scenic area covers approximately 2,333 mu (about 1,500 acres) and stands at an elevation of 610 meters, with a vertical drop of 158 meters. Pengzu Mountain is known as Qingcheng Shan Mountain and Emei Shan Mountain in Sichuan province, and the three mountains form the 'Three Mountains of Shu' landscape, known for their distinct beauty: Qingcheng for its tranquility, Emei for its elegance, and Pengzu for its longevity.
 
According to legend, Mr. Peng Zu lived to be 800 years old and practiced Daoist cultivation here with his daughter, eventually achieved immortality from this mountain. The Pengzu Shan Mountain scenic area focuses on three key aspects of Pengzu's health practices: Dao Yin (a form of Daoist meditation), dietary therapy, and sexual practice. Historical and cultural sites within the scenic area, such as the Pengzu Immortal Hall, the Fuxi Heavenly Bagua Diagram, the cliff carvings of the Twin Buddhas of Qishan, and the Qi Gathering Field, have been well preserved.
 
 
Introduction to Mr. Peng Zu:
   Mr. Peng Zu, whose surname was Qian actually, and given name is Keng. Mr. Peng Zu was the great-grandson of the Emperor Zhuanxu among the period of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He was also an immortal in Taoism. According to ancient books, Pengzu was the longest-lived man in ancient China: Peng Zu was said to live through the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties from the Emperor of Yao onward, reached over 800 years of age. His 8 disciples also lived to about 400 - 500 years old. Pengzu once served as the Keeper of the Imperial Archives during the Shang Dynasty and held the occupation of government minister. It was said that Pengzu often consumed water caltrop powder and deer antler powder, and was skilled in sexual skills, guiding and regulating Qi. He married 49 wives and had over 80 children throughout his life. He also taught health preservation techniques to women like Cai Nv and the emperor of Shang. Later, Pengzu traveled the world and ascended to immortality. Pengzu is considered the founder of Chinese health preservation culture, the patriarch of Chinese cuisine, the progenitor of Chinese martial arts culture, and the earliest master of sexology in Chinese history. Pengzu studied under Yin Shouzi and learned his Dao. He lived in seclusion on Wuyi Mountain, and in his later years, he returned to Pengzu Mountain. Based on the changes in his social and natural environment, he combined clothing, food, housing, transportation, exercise, and medicinal adjustments, and summarized a comprehensive system of longevity and health preservation techniques, including guiding and regulating qi, sexual techniques, and dietary practices.
 
 
About Pengzu Culture:
Pengzu's philosophy and health-preserving techniques have had a profound and enduring influence. Throughout history, Daoist and medical texts have preserved fragments of Pengzu's health-preserving practices. Pengzu's health-preserving methods are records of human healthcare practices from the late primitive society. These methods can be broadly categorized into Pengzu's cultivation techniques, guiding techniques, breathing techniques, bedroom techniques, and cooking techniques. Pengzu is considered the founder of cooking and the ancestor of chefs. According to legend, he was praised for his skill in preparing a delicious pheasant soup (wild chicken soup) for Emperor Yao. Pengzu's' pheasant soup method 'gradually evolved into the' cooking method, 'and pheasant soup is the earliest recorded dish in Chinese literature, known as the' first soup under heaven. 'The' Brief History of Chinese Cooking 'describes Pengzu as' China's first renowned professional chef,' and he is still revered as the patriarch of the culinary profession.
 
Pengzu's martial arts culture
Pengzu's martial arts culture pioneered the development of martial arts. Over 4,300 years ago, Pengzu created the Qigong Guiding Technique, aiming to achieve the state of' guiding qi to harmony and guiding the body to suppleness, 'which is considered one of the earliest ancient fitness practices in China. This technique is the earliest form of Chinese martial arts. Pengzu's guiding techniques have proven highly effective in preventing diseases, extending life, and enhancing physical health. Later generations developed various martial arts routines, such as the Five Animal Exercises, Yi Jin Jing, Ba Duan Jin, and Tai Chi Chuan, from these techniques.
 
Pengzu Sexual Culture:
Pengzu, the founder of Chinese sexual culture and health preservation, is a significant figure in ancient China. Like Confucianism and Taoism, sexual culture had a profound impact on ancient China. Pengzu was the first to discover that sexual activity between men and women is closely linked to longevity. Through his exploration and summarization, he developed a comprehensive set of secrets for longevity, known as the three techniques of Pengzu's longevity, with the sexual technique being the most prominent. Pengzu placed particular emphasis on maintaining yin essence in sexual relations. He believed that understanding the principles of yin and yang changes is essential, and thus, maintaining yin essence and understanding these principles are mutually reinforcing. In summary, Pengzu emphasized the importance of a harmonious relationship between men and women, which he saw as naturally occurring like the universe. The universe remains eternal because it adheres to the correct principles of sexual interaction.
 
Pengzu Guiding Technique of QI
Pengzu Guiding Technique, also known as Pengzu Guiding Qi Circulation Technique, is considered the prototype of Chinese martial arts and the cornerstone of martial arts qigong. It is a practical method for health and fitness, offering benefits such as qi circulation, blood activation, essence nourishment, marrow enhancement, beauty, complexion improvement, and immune system strengthening. Pengzu Guiding Technique can be learned at the Pengzu Mountain Scenic Area's Qi Gathering Field. The technique consists of nine simple and easy-to-learn movements, divided into three parts: longevity health guidance, longevity therapy guidance, and Pengzu Immortal Guidance. Pengzu Dietary Therapy focuses on nourishing the body's essence, qi, and spirit through diet or medicinal food, adjusting the internal yin-yang and five elements relationships to achieve a harmonious and balanced system and organ function, ultimately leading to health and longevity. The key principles of Pengzu Dietary Therapy include 'carefully balancing the five flavors,'  'food and medicine share the same origin,' and 'moderate eating.'
 
 
Pengzu's Sex Art
 
Pengzu's Sex Art, also known as the' harmonization of qi 'technique for couples, is an ancient Chinese form of sexual science. It involves practicing moderation in sexual activity to preserve essence and nourish the brain. From a modern sexual science perspective, Pengzu's Sex Art primarily covers aspects such as sexual knowledge, techniques, treatment of sexual dysfunction, and conception. It is not limited to sex but integrates it with qigong, health preservation, and the pursuit of immortality or longevity. Pengzu's Sex Art philosophy has had a profound impact on the study of sexual science in later generations, with figures like Su Nv, Xuan Nv and Cai Nv all learning from Pengzu. One of the most important works on sexual science in ancient China, ——' The Classic of Su Nv, 'contains many of Pengzu's ideas, such as 'men desire women, women desire men; their emotions and intentions are harmonized, both bringing joy to the heart.' This reflects an egalitarian view of gender, recognizing women's sexual rights and emphasizing that during sexual intercourse, the man must consider and care for the woman, showing' harmonized emotions and intentions, both with love,' rather than just seeking temporary pleasure. This idea was particularly valuable in a society where men ruled and oppressed women.
 
Pengzu Mountain Scenic Spots:
 
Qishan Twin Buddhas.
The Twin Buddhas of Qishan, built in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (713 AD), have a history of over a thousand years and are the world's only surviving cliff-carved twin Buddha statues. One Buddha is seated, and the other stands; the standing Buddha is Shakyamuni, and the seated Buddha is Dipankara Buddha. On either side of the Twin Buddhas, more than 100 Han Dynasty cliff-carved Buddha statues are preserved, along with the' Pengzu Alchemy Cave, 'where Pengzu practiced internal alchemy. Local residents can enter the cave to observe that it has enough space for a set of square tables and stools. During holidays, local residents light incense on a pillar at the Buddha worship platform to pray for blessings and children. Pengzu Immortal Residence is said to be the site where Pengzu's body is buried, and there is a Pengzu tomb established during the Qing Dynasty.
 
 
Pengzu Residence
Pengzu Residence is where Pengzu lived and ate. The thatched and earthen walls faithfully recreate the scenes of Pengzu's life, revealing the secrets to his longevity. Inside the residence, a traditional Chinese medicine master offers free health consultations, including methods such as taking medicinal powders, navel therapy, acupuncture, and massage, all based on Pengzu's health-preserving practices.
 
Huiguang Chan Temple
Huiguang Chan Temple, a thousand-year-old Zen temple, is a provincial-level cultural heritage site in China, covering over 60 acres. It mainly consists of the Maitreya Hall, Guanyin Hall, Mahavira Hall, and Fairy Cave. According to legend, the Fairy Cave to the right of the Maitreya Hall was where Pengzu's daughter, San' e, refined elixirs and practiced cultivation. Initially called Pengnu's Residence, it was renamed Fairy Temple after San' e ascended to immortality, following King Xuan of Zhou Ji Jing's order to build a temple to enshrine her true statue. This marked the beginning of its long-standing tradition as a temple.
 
The Immortal Pavilion
The Immortal Pavilion, situated at the summit of Pengzu Mountain Scenic Area, offers a panoramic view of the entire mountain. The pavilion is imbued with the culture of the Big Dipper, allowing visitors to delve deeper into the cultural significance of Pengzu Mountain and the Big Dipper.

The Pengzu Culture Center Museum
The Pengzu Culture Center Museum, centered on the culture of Pengzu's sexual health, is the first venue in southwestern China dedicated to this theme. It features six thematic exhibition areas that explore the principles of Yin-Yang harmony and the essence of Pengzu's longevity and health-preserving techniques, offering insights into the art of sexual health and wellness.
