Watch: Priest practices Taoist kung fu amid heavy snow in Wudang Mountains

A Wudang hermit from Quanzhen Taoist Temple in Xishen Lane practices his Taoist kung fu despite freezing temperature and heavy snow. Snow has been falling thick and fast in central China’s Hubei Province since last Sunday and has sealed a mountain pass in the Wudang Mountains. The Wudang Mountains are renowned for their rich history of Taoism and breathtaking landscapes. They are home to a famous complex of Taoist temples and monasteries. The Wudang hermit in this video is famous for the practice of Taichi and Taoism, which convey the essence of traditional Chinese culture, with such concepts as Yin and Yang. The hermit still lives in the mountains, eschewing the modernity outside. He is a preserver of Wudang Taoist kung fu. When the mountains are sealed by snow, it is definitely a good time for hermits to practice their Taoism in solitude and to achieve the balanced inner peace that is valued in Taoism.
