Immortal Elder's Longevity Stone

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

This Chinese character for “longevity” was written by Chen Tuan, standing 2.15 meters tall. Chen Tuan, courtesy name Tunan, also known as Fuyaozi, was from present-day Bozhou, Anhui Province. He was a renowned immortal Taoist priest in the history of Chinese Taoism, historically referred to as “Ancestor Chen Tuan.” His extant works include the Wuji Diagram, the Xiantian Diagram, and the Zhizhen Chapter, which had a profound influence on the Northern Song Dynasty. Chen Tuan excelled in writing large characters—this “longevity” character is composed of four smaller characters: “person,” “longevity,” “year,” and “abundance.” It is erected here as a symbol meaning “May your longevity be as enduring as the southern mountains.”
