old chinese man mountain story

Since I'm not certain of the exact story, if it's like the Yu Gong story, the significance is about perseverance. Yu Gong's determination to move the mountains despite the seemingly impossible task shows that with great will and continuous effort, one can overcome huge difficulties.

I'm not familiar with a particular 'old chinese man mountain story' with this exact name. It could potentially be a local or less - known story. However, in Chinese mythology, there are often stories where the elderly are depicted as having great wisdom or achieving extraordinary things related to nature, like mountains.

Yes, there could be various Chinese stories related to the idea of a man 'beating' a mountain. For example, in some folktales, there might be a hero who overcomes great difficulties symbolized by a mountain. But without more specific details, it's hard to pinpoint one exact story.

In 1955, there was an old man in the village of Kramatso, near the Jade Pool of the Queen Mother of the West. He used to be a servant of a rich family. When he was middle-aged, he left to go to the Wenshi Sect's secluded training ground to cultivate the Dao. After that, he made a living by carving "Lord Taiyi to Salve Misery" on the stones and piling them into pagoda-like stone piles. This work accumulated great merit for him. The old man worked during the day and meditated at night. He only slept two to three hours a day. Although he was poor and simple, and his family was small, he was always willing to help others. His simple house was often open to pilgrims and beggars. He did not stop practicing during his daily work, combining his practice with his work with continuous awareness. His son was a layman, and advised him to do ordinary health exercises such as Taiji Fist, not chanting spells, cultivating inner cores, etc. However, the old man believed that the key was to cultivate both the inner life and the soul, and to maintain the quiet spiritual consciousness of the inner primordial spirit. Three years before his ascension, the old man went into seclusion. During this period, his family was worried about him, but he became more and more extraordinary. He only sang songs written with specific spells, abandoning religious forms. He no longer practiced spells, chanted spells, or prayed. When his son advised him to improve his cultivation, the old man said that other than fulfilling one's nature and understanding one's original primordial spirit, there was no foreign immortal worthy of worship. When he meditated and entered the state of Great Tranquility and Great Concentration, he could not drink a drop of water, and his heartbeat and pulse were completely gone. His family invited a Taoist priest and a doctor, and his son reminded him that he should recall the accuracy of the Taoist method at this time. The old man said that he had forgotten about cultivation. Everything was like a dream but very happy. After the old man finished his closed-door cultivation, he clearly stated the time of his ascension and requested that he should not move his body for a week after he died. After he " died ", his family wrapped his body in old clothes. The Taoist priest chanted and practiced the Dharma, and the body was parked in a small room. During this time, people found that the corpse had become smaller and there was white "gas" above the house. Six days later, the corpse became even more transparent. On the eighth day of burial, when he removed the shroud, he found nothing except his nails and hair. Moreover, the door was locked, and no one could enter and remove the corpse. His son asked the abbot of the local Taoist temple, and the abbot said that the same thing had happened to his ancestor. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally exciting.
