In front of the main hall of the Wulong Palace, there are artificially constructed Heavenly Pool and Earthly Pool. There is a stone dragon above spouting water from its mouth into the pool. The construction of the Heavenly Pool and the Earthly Pool here not only serves the purpose of the Heavenly Palace and the Jade Pool but also embodies the intention of Taoist cultivation methods. Taoism holds that when the primordial energy was initially divided into Yin and Yang, it was silent, tasteless, formless and imageless. "The light and clear ones rose to the sky, while the heavy and turbid ones sank to the ground." The sky and the earth are small, but there is water inside and outside. The earth stands by the air and floats by the water. The Daoist Book states: "After the chaos division, there are the three elements of heaven, earth and water." "Generate human relations and nourish all things." In the Tianchi and DiChi landscapes, heaven, earth and water are all present, which can be regarded as the source of life. The ancients created things with rich creativity and superb wisdom. Tianchi Lake and Dichi Lake not only ingeniously utilize natural mountain springs to create beautiful landscapes, but also leave a broad space for the application of religious thoughts. Just as the Heavenly Lake is the root of life, the Earthly household has the power to forgive SINS. Holy water cures diseases; The essence, energy and spirit are interconnected, and the Three Ancestors of Xuan Yuan and so on.
