Excerpts from the classical Chinese text of "Historical Records·Fengchan Shu":?
When the First Emperor was on Mount Tai, he encountered a storm in Zhongsaka and rested under a big tree. Since the Confucian scholars were impoverished, they were not allowed to use the ceremony of sealing. When they heard that the First Emperor was in trouble, they ridiculed him. ?
So the First Emperor traveled eastward to the sea, paying homage to famous mountains, rivers and the Eight Gods, asking for the immortals’ envy. The Eight Gods have existed since ancient times, or were created since Taigong. Qi means Qi because the sky is Qi. No one knows when the sacrifice will begin. Eight Gods: One is the Lord of Heaven, and the ancestral hall is Qi Tian. Tianqi Yuanshui lives at the foot of the mountain in the southern suburbs of Linyi. The second is the landlord, who worships Father Liang in Mount Tai. If the sky is covered with good shade, the temple must be placed under a high mountain or on a hill, named "畤"; in Guiyang, the sacrifice must be placed in the middle of the lake, on the hills and clouds. The third one is called the Lord of War, and he honors Chi You. Chiyou was in Lujian Township, Dongping, on the western border of Qi. The fourth one is called the Lord of Yin, and he has a temple on three mountains. The fifth is the Lord of Yang, the temple of the temple. On the sixth day of the month, Lord of the Moon, the temple is located on Laishan Mountain. They are all in the north of Qi and Bohai. On the seventh day, the Lord of the Sun, the temple is built into the mountain. The mountain rises into the sea, and is located in the northeastern corner of Qi to welcome the rising sun and clouds. On the eighth day, the Lord of the Four Hours, Temple Langxie. Langxie is in the east of Qi, the beginning of the year. Each of them uses a temple, and the profits and losses of the witchcraft and blessings are mixed. ?
Since the time of Wei and Xuan of Qi, disciples of Zouzi wrote about the fate of the Five Virtues of Zhongshi, and Emperor Qin had people in Qi play it, so the First Emperor adopted it. In the Song Dynasty, Wuji, Zhengboqiao, Chongshang, and Xianmengao were all from Yan. They were Fangxian Dao, who interpreted and transformed their forms and relied on ghosts and gods. Zou Yan used Yin and Yang to control the movement and showed it to the princes, but the alchemists from Yanqi and Haihai said that his technique was incomprehensible. However, strange, sycophantic and sycophantic people have sprung up since then, and they are countless. ?
Translation: Qin Shihuang and his party went up Mount Tai in a mighty manner, offered sacrifices to the sky, and erected a large stone tablet on the top of the mountain. Soon, the sky suddenly changed, dark clouds rolled in, and it was about to rain heavily. Some people say that when the mountain god of Mount Tai is angry, there will be dark clouds and black rain, flash floods will break out, and people and animals will be washed away. Qin Shihuang had something in his heart, thinking that he had offended the mountain god, so he ran down the mountain, followed by a group of his men. As soon as the group of people arrived at Wusong Pavilion, they heard a thunder and heavy rain. Qin Shihuang was so pampered that he couldn't even stand due to the heavy rain, let alone flash floods, and was about to be washed down the mountain.
At the critical moment, I suddenly found a big pine tree on the roadside. The arrogant emperor hurriedly knelt in front of the tree, hugged the trunk with both hands, and murmured words, begging the tree god to bless him. The rain fell quickly and stopped quickly. Qin Shihuang really thought that the tree god was protecting him, so he named the pine tree that saved him the "Five Doctors Pine". According to "Historical Records", Qin Shihuang ascended Mount Tai to be granted the title of Mount Tai. He was caught in the rain on the way and took shelter under a big tree. Because the big tree served as a protector, he awarded the tree the title of "Five Doctors". Unexpectedly, later generations mistakenly classified it as five plants. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the ancient pine trees were destroyed by thunderstorms. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial envoy Ding Zaobao was ordered to rebuild Mount Tai, he replanted five pine trees. Two of them are now existing. They have curved branches and are vigorous and clumsy. They have been known as "Qin Song Tall and Beautiful" since ancient times and are one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Tai'an. Next to the Wusong Pavilion is the inscription "Ode to Five Doctors' Pines" made by Emperor Qianlong. To the west of Wudafu Pine there is the blocking mountain. On the hillside there is a pine tree, with its branches stretching down. It is also called the welcoming pine, and is one of the important landmarks of Mount Tai. To the northwest is Chaoyang Cave, a natural stone cave as deep and wide as a house, with Xiangyang in the south, formerly known as Yingyang and Yunyang. There are lines engraved with the image of Yuanjun on the back wall of the cave.
