What is the historical significance of Mount Tai?

Historical significance: Taishan area has been an important birthplace of oriental culture since ancient times. Fossil remains of Xintai people 50,000 years ago and Yiyuan people 400,000 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, Qi built a 500-kilometer-long Great Wall along Mount Tai to the Yellow Sea, and now the Great Wall site still exists. After entering the Qin and Han Dynasties, Mount Tai gradually became a symbol of political power. The actual elevation of Mount Tai is not too high, and it is second only to Huashan and Hengshan among the five mountains, occupying the third place. But in terms of historical, political and cultural status, many mountains in the country can't compare with them.
