五(wu)指山(shan)道教圣地之說
道(dao)教正宗地乃真武大帝云(yun)游天(tian)際，首選武當(dang)山天(tian)柱峰下，結蘆紫霄(xiao)宮而成(cheng)氣候。后派弟子玄真道(dao)人南下發展(zhan)道(dao)觀(guan)基地，傳(chuan)播老(lao)子即(ji)太上老(lao)君(jun)的道(dao)德經說。
玄真道(dao)人不辭辛苦(ku)，風餐露宿，日夜兼程。下石花(hua)街，穿越保(bao)康沮(ju)河大峽口，來(lai)到臨沮(ju)（現遠安）縣(xian)鳴鳳山(shan)上，確(que)立為道(dao)教發展地。隨后(hou)過(guo)當(dang)(dang)陽玉泉寺，縱覽佛教推廣所建之(zhi)(zhi)經(jing)(jing)驗，到夷陵探尋花(hua)崗(gang)石與(yu)石灰巖交(jiao)結(jie)處，爬山(shan)涉水，沿東(dong)湖縣(xian)鄧村(cun)坪而(er)到秭歸(gui)縣(xian)交(jiao)界五指山(shan)下（當(dang)(dang)時(shi)還未置興山(shan)縣(xian)）。玄真發現這里(li)山(shan)川大有(you)與(yu)武當(dang)(dang)山(shan)勢相同之(zhi)(zhi)處，當(dang)(dang)即其確(que)定為發展之(zhi)(zhi)地。訪(fang)屈原故里(li)，聽昭君出(chu)塞美話之(zhi)(zhi)說(shuo)后(hou)沿香溪而(er)南(nan)行，過(guo)長江經(jing)(jing)周坪、楊林致長陽縣(xian)堡鎮(zhen)，視見一(yi)擎天石柱，連至天柱山(shan)下（觀坪林場），酷(ku)似武當(dang)(dang)山(shan)擎天柱峰，定為“中武當(dang)(dang)”。回武當(dang)(dang)山(shan)呈交(jiao)真武大帝(di)。真武大悅(yue)，批準(zhun)建造三(san)處道(dao)教發展地。五指山(shan)道(dao)觀基(ji)地，乃屬中華民族文(wen)化傳(chuan)播較早的地段(duan)之(zhi)(zhi)一(yi)。
三包傳說
傳說朱元璋落(luo)難隱(yin)居新宮時(shi)(shi)，曾放牛包下。常無食，饑餓難忍(ren)。一(yi)日(ri)丑(chou)時(shi)(shi)，餓體(ti)不(bu)寐(mei)。拾亂(luan)石碼成三堆，借元宮大鼎，取(qu)(qu)老林柴燒，接天際雨露，三樣(yang)俱全。于時(shi)(shi)取(qu)(qu)鋼刀(dao)宰(zai)牛，煮而(er)食之。不(bu)到(dao)寅時(shi)(shi)，吃完全頭牛肉(rou)。頃(qing)刻，鼎鍋、燒柴、沸水離去(qu)。牛頭丟向西北而(er)成牛角大尖。將牛尾插(cha)入(ru)形成山尾。然后(hou)挎上(shang)鋼刀(dao)，回(hui)(hui)新宮取(qu)(qu)了行李，下云盤，視(shi)舊寨(zhai)，回(hui)(hui)淮(huai)安重組部下，征(zheng)服(fu)陳友亮等部而(er)統一(yi)天下，建(jian)立(li)明(ming)(ming)朝。次日(ri)，牛主尋找(zhao)，見牛尾插(cha)入(ru)地下，用(yong)力拉，牛叫三聲(sheng)，牛尾沒入(ru)地底。此地有十平方米(mi)寸草不(bu)生(sheng)，光如明(ming)(ming)鏡(jing)。三堆亂(luan)石，因(yin)鼎飛去(qu)，陡升百米(mi)，以(yi)備再用(yong)，變成渾(hun)圓(yuan)形三包至今。
