|Chen Tuan's Taoist Temple. Yuquan Temple is located at the entrance of Huashan Valley, facing north with the huge Huashan Mountain range behind it.

In fact, this was indeed a place where many ancient sages lived in seclusion. Yuquan Temple was built during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, originally as a shrine built by Taoist priest Jia Desheng for his master Chen Tuan. Chen Tuan was a prominent figure during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and during the Song Dynasty, both Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi treated him with great respect. Emperor Taizong even bestowed upon him the title of "Master Xiyi."
