The origin of Wanshou Palace:
Wanshou Palace was built in memory of Xu Zhenjun, a local protector in Jiangxi Province, commonly known as "Blessed Master". Xu Zhenjun, formerly known as Xu Xun, was named Jingyuan. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his father Xiao Xu came to Nanchang to escape the chaos in the Central Plains.
In the second year of Wu Chiwu in Three Kingdoms, Xu Xun was born in Yitangpo, Changting Township, Nanchang County. He was gifted, entered school at the age of five, learned the gist of the classics at the age of ten, and then decided to study and master a hundred schools of thought, especially Taoism. Zhenjun went out to travel at the age of 29, and once worshipped Wu Meng as a teacher, and got his secret. Later, I made friends with Guo Pu, a great scholar at that time, and traveled all over the world to find a place to cultivate truth and make an alchemist.
