Academy of Genuine Wudang Taoist KungFu - Senior taoists

    Yao-Jian, born in Sui Dynasty, was made Junzhou official to govern Wudang area by Li-Shiming, the second emperor of Tang Dynasty, after he helped the latter become emperor.
    During the years between 627 and 648, Drought and disaster of grasshopper broke out in China. Li ordered Yao-Jian to pray for rain in Wudang Mountains. Yao heard that there were five dragons cultivating in Wudang Mountains and when asking for rain in the year of drought, there would be heavy rain, so he accepted the order and succeeded in praying for rain on Wudang Mountains. Therefore, Li ordered to build Five-dragon Temple to worship the five dragons.
    After succeeded in praying for rain, Yao got tired of being an official in government and wanted to learn Taoism. When he got permission, he took his family to Five-dragon Temple and then became god. Xuan Emperor sent him to protect Wudang area and save the country out of the disaster of drought and grasshopper several times, so the government of Song Dynasty ordered to build Mighty Temple in the Purple Cloud Palace for him.
