RE: Beihai Park: Heaven of natural beauty in the center of Beijing!

If I want tell about the brief history and the story about this historical place then i have come to know from the internet and my colleagues that a conventional Chinese mythology is supposed to have inspired the construction of this beautiful Beihai Park. According to the story, three magical mountains known as Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang were originally situated in eastern China where were gods who had a special herbal remedy that could make people immortal. As a result, numerous emperors in China's feudal era were always looking for those mountains. In order to live an immortal life, for instance, Emperor Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221–206 B.C. ), despatched people in search of the magic mountains, but they were unsuccessful. Then, to replicate the circumstances in the mythology, he constructed a sizable pool at his castle and built three earthen hills in it. And this Beihai Park is the result of that event.

Good night, @tanzil2024 !
I'm jealous that you had a great time at the wonderful park!

Chinese people originally have a strong tendency to believe in myths and superstitions!

The ancient Chinese believed that Penglai (Chinese: 蓬萊仙島; lit. 'Penglai Immortal[1] Island') contained a herb that gave humans eternal life.😃

Yeah, I have observed many myths and believes which has no meaning being atheist. And some of those stories are really interesting to know.

Hassan!

Your argument is interesting!

I think East Asian mythology is not atheism, but polytheism and animism!

Thanks for your kind information, Yeah you are right, actually, I have very little knowledge about the socio-cultural beliefs and the the comparative religions!
