In the Song Dynasty,

In the Song Dynasty, China's shipbuilding technology and navigation technology have been greatly improved. Quanzhou, Fujian Province, located in the southeast of China, has become China's largest port. This is also the starting point for the UNESCO-determined Maritime Silk Road. Commercial exchanges have also promoted cultural exchanges. Various religions have developed in Quanzhou. Today, in Quanzhou, there is still a situation in which various religions develop together. There is a Qingyuan Mountain next to Quanzhou City. The mountain is not high, and the altitude is only over 400 meters. It is famous for its statue in the Song Dynasty. The statue of an old man is 5.63 meters high, 6.85 meters thick, and 8.01 meters wide. The floor area is 55 square meters. It is the largest and most ancient Taoist stone statue in China. The Laozi statues of many domestic attractions are copied here. Qingyuan Mountain has been developed since the Qin and Han Dynasties. In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, with the development of the Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou's economy thrived, and the development of Qingyuan Mountain reached its most prosperous period.
