Abstract:Fairyland is an important part of the Taoist fairy concepts. It is the habitat of fairies as well as the material environment for Taoists afterlife. Starting from the Fangxian Sect, fairyland has been the focus for Taoists to build their fairy pedigree, so the narratives about fairyland are not only the content of Taoist novels, such as The Records of Ten Islets and The Story of Fairies, but also affect the cave descriptions in the mystic and supernatural tales during the Six Dynasties, which in turn affect the creation of Tang legends. These descriptions enrich the narrative arts in legendary novels, enhance the imagination of legendary writers, and thus are of important aesthetic values.
