During the Ming Dynasty there was a great overhaul and much work was done in Wudang to build new structures.  It was during this time that many of the most famous temples and palaces were built, including Taihe Gong, Qing Zhen Gong, Zi Xiao Gong, Chao Tian Gong, Nan Yan Gong, Wu Long Gong, Yu Xu Gong, Jing Le Gong, Yu Zhen Gong, Ren Wei Guan, Hui Long Guan, Long Quan Guan, Fu Zhen Guan, Yuan He Guan, and many other different temples and palaces.  The different complexes and temple structures in Wudang are numerous and far spread.  “Gong” or “palace” specifically means the residence of the regent.  It is also the home of the gods.  All palaces are places that have been created by imperial edict.  “Guan” or “monastery” were originally look out areas and the word guan actually means “look out”. later generations began referring to Daoist temples as gong guan.  The architecture of Daoist temples and palaces has been greatly influences by ancient traditional Chinese palaces, temple-god structures, and altars.  They are the places where Daoists worship the gods, live in seclusion, and practice austerities.
