Dai Temple is located at the foot of Mount Tai. It is the main temple of Mount Tai. It was founded a long time ago. There are records of "Tai immediately built the temple" and "Han also built the palace". It has been expanded and renovated in the past dynasties, forming a large-scale ancient building complex.

It, together with the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Dacheng Hall in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, are known as the three major palace-style buildings in my country. 72 emperors in the past dynasties of our country have held grand ceremonies here to crown the "God of Dongyue and Mount Tai". There is still a huge mural in the hall called "The Picture of Mount Tai God Enlightenment and Return to Luan". It vividly depicts the scene of Emperor Dongyue's tour and return to Luan. The scene is huge and the figures are lifelike. It is a rare art treasure. Dai Temple has a forest of ancient steles and calligraphy relics, the most precious of which is Qin Li Si's Xiaozhuan "Taishan Carving Call". It is an edict issued by Qin II in 209 BC, of ??which only 10 characters remain.
