Later in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist master, also visited the North Wudang Mountains to preach the scriptures and preach the Taoism in search of the traces of Zhenwu.

Later generations named this place "Daozhuang". About the mountain, there are many local folklore, such as the story of the master's practice, the story of the master and Xiao Xitian's grandma, etc., which are very popular today. At present, there are still many relics related to these legends, such as the horse tethering post, the grinding needle ditch, the sheshen cliff, and the rut marks.
