Yes, you are right. Mount Wudang is a treasure house for medical herbs due to its climate condition.—much rain supply and forest coverage. The great medical herb master Lee Shi-zhen in Ming Dynasty once visited Wudang to pick herbs for the writing of his book An Outline Treatise of Medical Herbs.
It has been our dream to construct a herbal garden in Wudang and let students to learn the related study. Today, it is becoming a reality. We are moving to a new Taoist temple where a large piece of land is ready for us to work upon. So, in this Spring we are digging the medical herbs available on the mountain and bring them into the garden. So, from June on we can have them ready and all students who come to study kungfu and Taoism can have the chance to learn medical herbalism (how to plant herbs, how different herbs grow, when to pick the fruits or roots for making herbal clips, which kind of disorder each herbs can be used to treat alone or in combination with other herbs.). Finally, the herb number may total around 200 - 400. So, it is a wonderful experience and we think many students would like to study such subjects. In addition, the journey into wildness to pick herbs is also in plan and we plan to arrange such journey twice every month.
