Qingyang Temple | Chengdu, the Source of Taoism, the Root of Millennia-Old Faith in Bashu

Chengdu is known as the "Land of Abundance," and as the most representative Taoist holy site in western Sichuan, Qingyang Temple is hailed as the "Source of Taoism in Chengdu."

This name is more than just a title; it epitomizes a history. Originally built during the Zhou and Qin dynasties, it flourished during the Tang and Song dynasties. After millennia of renovation, Qingyang Temple has become one of the most influential Taoist temples in the Bashu region. It enshrines the Jade Emperor, the Three Pure Ones, and the Jade Emperor, with towering halls, ancient cypresses, and a vibrant incense-filled city.

"Chengdu, the Source of Taoism," the four characters "Chengdu, the Source of Taoism" capture the significance of Qingyang Temple: it is the root of Chengdu's religious culture and a spiritual haven for the people of Bashu. From here, countless practitioners have discovered the wisdom of "Tao follows nature"; from here, Chengdu residents have internalized a leisurely, harmonious, and relaxed approach to life, becoming the very essence of the city.
