Taishan mountain is magnificent and has beautiful scenery. In ancient myths and legends in China, after Pangu's death, his head turned into Mount Tai. According to the Collection of Historical Records: "The sky is too high, so I set up a meditation ceremony on Mount Tai to worship it, and I am close to the gods." The ancients described that "Mount Tai swallowed the West China, pressed the South Heng, drove the Middle Song, and learned from the North Heng, which was the length of the five mountains". According to ancient traditional culture, the East is the place where all things alternate and early spring occurs, so Mount Tai has the reputation of "the length of five mountains" and "the exclusive respect of five mountains". Because of its majestic momentum, it is the first of the five mountains, so it has the reputation of "the best mountain in the world". The fossils of Xintai people 5, years ago and Yiyuan people 4, years ago show the early human activities in this area. Dawenkou culture at the southern foot of Mount Tai and Longshan culture at the northern foot also reflect the activities of clan tribes in the early Yellow River basin. During the Warring States Period, the Great Wall with a length of about 5 kilometers was built by Qi along the Taishan Mountains to the Yellow Sea, and the site still exists today. After entering the Qin and Han dynasties, Mount Tai gradually became a symbol of politics and power.
For thousands of years, the natural landscape of Mount Tai has been integrated with the emperor's meditation, poetry rendering, craftsman's art and scientific investigation, which constitutes the landscape of Mount Tai. In the scenic area, a landscape pattern with radial distribution centered on the main peak, triple spaces (Tai 'an City centered on Dai Temple, "Yin, Cao, Earth and Mansion" in Haoli Mountain in the southwest of the city, and "Fairy, Boundaries, Heaven and Mansion" above Nantianmen) and an axis (a landscape belt connecting these triple spaces, mainly the central axis of Dai Temple extending northward to the Jade Emperor's Peak) has been formed. From Tai 'an City, at the foot of the mountain, which is more than 15 meters above sea level, to Zhongtianmen, which is 847 meters above sea level, Nantianmen, which is 146 meters, and Yuhuangding, which is 1545 meters above sea level, the unique landscape of Mount Tai is formed one after another.
after thousands of years of cultural accumulation, there are many cultural landscapes on Mount Tai. Mount Tai is the center of Qilu culture and one of the important cradles of ancient civilization in China. According to the documents of ancient dynasties in China, this mountain is often the place where emperors set up altars to pray for the peace of the country and the people, and held Buddhist ceremonies. According to legend, in ancient times, 72 leaders came here to patrol and sacrifice. Since the Qin Dynasty, 12 emperors in ancient China have come here to worship Zen. The first person to hold a large-scale meditation ceremony here was Qin Shihuang, leaving behind the legend of Five Great Volunteers. When I said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty climbed Mount Tai eight times, I marveled at "high! Extremely! Big! Special! Strong! HeYi! Horrible! Confused! " . The worship of Zen in Mount Tai has become an extremely grand ceremony in the history of China. It is believed that the gods will give auspicious "Fu Rui" to any emperor who rises from a different surname or shows great merit, and he will be entitled to report his success to Mount Tai and thank him for his kindness, which will form the tradition of the Taishan ceremony.
"sealing" is to gather soil at the top of Mount Tai to build a round altar to worship the emperor of heaven, so as to increase the height of Mount Tai to show merit to heaven; "Zen" is to build a square altar to worship the god in the hill below the mountain, and increase the thickness of the land to repay the kindness of the rich. The round altar stands for the round place. If a generation of emperors ascend Mount Tai, it will be regarded as a symbol of world peace and national prosperity. And the emperor himself became a veritable real dragon emperor. Therefore, Ban Gu, a historian of the Han Dynasty, said in the "White Tiger Tong Feng Chan Pian": "If the king rises from the opposite sex, he will be promoted to Mount Tai. Why? The meaning of the report also. At the beginning of the order, the system should be heaven, the world is peaceful, and it is successful to close the Zen to tell peace. So why must it be Mount Tai? At the beginning of everything, there is also a place to explain. "
Buddhism was introduced to Mount Tai in the middle of the 4th century. In 351 AD, Langgong, a monk, first went to Daiyin, Taishan Mountain to establish Langgong Temple and Lingyan Temple.
