Where the name "Qun Yu 'an" came from is difficult to verify. According to Cao Zhi's Immortals in the Three Kingdoms Period, Cui and Ji Aiqin think that there are early buildings here. Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics in the Northern Wei Dynasty recorded that "the ancient emperor raised his seal and rested in this water, and there were often stones in the water to cover the ancient land." Liu Hui believes that this is the beginning of Wang Mu pond named after water. There is no documentary evidence whether there is a temple in the six sentences of Li Bai's Poems on Mount Tai in Tang Dynasty. According to "The Monument to Shuangliang", in the seventh year of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Wei, the minister of sects, went to Daiyue to observe the lent and appealed to Chi, which is an earlier record of official recognition of Chi. However, at this time, official visits, announcements and other acts are aimed at Daiyue view. The independent status of "Yaochi" is not particularly obvious. It may be attached to Daiyue Temple. There is no record of temples.
The earliest recorded Chi Temple in the literature was in the eighth year of Song and Yuan Dynasties. The stone carving of "Wang Mu Tangfu Garden" inscribed by Li Ou, a poet in the Song Dynasty, originally stood at the foot of the second mountain gate of Wang Mu Tang, but it is a pity today. In the eighth year of Yuan You, Dai Yueguan rebuilt the Empress Dowager Temple, built gables and opened gardens. In Taishan literature, this inscription is often used to quote the history of Wang Mu pond. Nie Jianguang's biography of Mount Tai Daoli quoted Li Yu as saying: According to the biography of Li Yu of the Song Dynasty, the Yellow Emperor built a Daiyue Hall, sent seven women, decorated their clothes with incense, and welcomed the Queen Mother of the West. In Song Dynasty, Li E recorded a myth and legend in an inscription, and Xerox was in Wang Muchi. It shows that the name of "Qunyu Temple" in Song Dynasty has a long history, and there is no accurate literature record, so it is impossible to make follow-up textual research. Nie Jianguang believes that "it is said that it is far away and cannot be recorded." In the relevant records of Taishan local documents, although "Qunyu 'an" can't be tested, it refers to today's Wang Muchi Taoist temple, and there is no ambiguity. However, judging from the sentence, Wang Muchi in Song Dynasty is closely related to Daiyue Temple in Taishan Middle Temple, and setting up a garden in Wang Muchi is also within the scope of Daiyue Temple reconstruction project.
Nie Jianguang put forward that Pang Guimeng was given purple clothes in the biography of Mount Tai Daoli, which was actually a misunderstanding of Li Ruoqing's titles in the fifth year of Song Dynasty. These titles and "Liyuan" are engraved on a stone. "Dai Lan" thinks that if Nie Jianguang and others read it correctly, the sentence is wrong and should be read left. This article records what Taoist priests such as Li Ruoqing were in charge of and were awarded purple clothes by Daozheng. Left reading ranks according to the position from big to small, and Pang Guimeng ranks lower, behind everyone; It doesn't make sense to read it correctly. Therefore, during the Song You period, Wang Muchi was a relatively formal Taoist temple, which was brought into the unified management of the government.
In the first year, "Mount Tai was raining heavily, the valley was overflowing, and the masonry of Wang Mu Tangting was washed away. Later it was rebuilt by Taoist priests. " According to Yao's Rebuilding Yanting Monument, at the end of the year, Jin Jun and various anti-Jin Yi armies fought many times near Mount Tai, and the Yanting in Chidong of Mount Tai was destroyed by soldiers.
The pavilion of Jiajing Hall in Ming Dynasty was large in scale and rebuilt many times in Qing Dynasty. In the first month of the 23rd year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, Chen Yu, the governor of Shandong Province, invited Daimiao and other places to pour soil, and requested to repair it, which was approved. It was entrusted by Lu Ting, the magistrate of Tai 'an, and abbot Wei Xiang, a famous craftsman in Licheng. After the project was completed, Wei Xiang used his spare money to build more than ten ladies' toilets, and renovated Wang Muchi and the East Hall of Doum Palace.
The architecture of Wang Mu pond that we see now is mainly the result of many reconstructions in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since 1980s, Wang Muchi has expanded and repaired the ancient temple for many times, which has kept its beautiful appearance.
