Qingfeng Thirty-Six Techniques

Qingcheng is the most secluded place under heaven, with the Thirty-Six Peaks of Yin and Yang, backed by the snow ridge, dense forests, and evergreens through all four seasons.

Legend has it that in the Tang dynasty a wealthy merchant, fearing death, sought immortality. At the foot of the mountain he asked a child, who said: "Among the woods." Among the woods he asked a child, who said: "By the mountain stream." By the mountain stream he asked a child, who said: "At the mountain's crest." All the way he asked, across thirty-six peaks, and each time he met a child. The merchant knew then that this was no ordinary thing, and bowed to the ground. The child laughed and said: "This boy can be taught. What need has pure cultivation of bitter vexation? A humble heart, free of haste, may ask the Way."

The wealthy merchant cultivated in purity for many years and succeeded to the position of Sect Leader, and he wrote this book. Between its lines lies all the joy of idly roaming the Thirty-Six Peaks; the fear he felt when first entering the mountains had long since been left behind on the road without his knowing.
