Dushan has a long history of religious culture. Dushan Zushi Palace at the top of the mountain originally belonged to the lower hall of Xuanmiao Temple, one of the four Taoist jungles in China. Southern Wudang is called Dushan, while northern Wudang is called Dushan. Yushan Temple, a famous Buddhist temple near Shandong, was built in the early years of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a record of Liu Bei's garrison in Yushan Temple. Over the years, "March 3, Dushan", pilgrims like clouds, tourists like weaving. Temple fairs are mainly based on folk arts and crafts, fine arts, local products, snacks and other folk cultures that reflect local customs, and receive nearly 80,000 people on the highest day. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote poems about climbing mountains. In Memories of Cui Zongzhi's Tour to Nanyang, he wrote, "I once succeeded in Nanyang and ate ferns in the mountains alone." In Du Nan Fu, Zhang Heng described Du Yu as follows: "If you are expensive and strange, you will be resplendent, and the pearls will shine at night". Li Daoyuan said in "Notes on Water Classics": "The isolated mountain stands upright, and the strange stones are thin and green".
