Introduction to the South Summit: The South Summit of Jue Mountain is also called Ciyun Pavilion. This hall is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and on both sides are the talented boy and the little dragon girl. The upper floor enshrines three holy statues, with Sakyamuni in the center and Taishang Laojun from Taoism and Confucius from Confucianism on both sides. The three religions use their respective ethics to influence the world, taking goodness as the foundation and virtue as the most important thing. The sight of saints from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism living together on the same mountain and worshiping in the same temple is extremely rare in the country. Jueshan Mountain was developed as a Taoist temple as early as the Han and Wei dynasties, and together with Qingcheng, Wudang and the Temple of Heaven, it is known as one of the four famous Taoist temples in the world. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, monks and Confucian disciples came here to stay and carry out activities in the pagoda on the hillside of Xiashi Mountain opposite Jueshan Mountain. Taoist Jueshan not only did not stop them, but also wholeheartedly helped them build monasteries and temples. As time goes by, the emotions between the three religions become more and more profound, and they are inseparable. As a result, the miracle of the integration of the three religions was formed: "The Pure Land of Buddhism originates from the Green Lotus, Taihang Zhenwu returns to Jue Mountain", and "Jueshan Taoism, Green Lotus Buddha, and Taihang Moon reflects the Confucian style". Going downstairs to the outside of the hall, one side is dedicated to the Avalokitesvara, and the other side is dedicated to Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine.
