Even the emperor will come to worship Mount TaiPublished on October 5, 2015 16:35
Mount Tai is a world famous mountain integrating natural and cultural heritage. The humanistic Mount Tai that the emperors, celebrities and scholars chanted is "the second Mount Tai", while the original ecological Mount Tai, as a natural Mount Tai, should be "the first Mount Tai". The formation of Mount Tai has gone through the evolution process from Archean to Cenozoic. The Yanshan movement laid its foundation, and the Himalayan movement made it magnificent. With the main peak as the center, the scenic spots of Mount Tai are radially distributed. After thousands of years of protection and construction, they have become the representative of China's mountain scenery: the integration of natural landscape and human landscape. Mount Tai rises above the hills of Qilu. The main peak is abrupt, the mountain is precipitous, and the mountain ranges are stacked, forming a high and broad momentum of "looking at all the small mountains" and "arching all the peaks". Mount Tai has many pines and cypresses, which make it more solemn, majestic and lush; There are many streams and springs, so there is no lack of smart and lingering. The misty and changeable clouds make it mysterious and profound. It has not only beautiful foothills, quiet quiet areas, open areas, but also illusory wonderful areas and profound arcane areas; There are also ten natural wonders, such as the rising sun, the sea of clouds and jade plate, the sunset, the golden belt of the Yellow River, and ten natural landscapes, such as the Songtao in Shiwu, the Jueqi in duisong, the jingshe in Taoyuan, and the beautiful scenery in Lingyan; The layout of the cultural landscape focuses on SheShou mountain, Haoli Mountain and Yuhuangding in the southwest of Taicheng, forming a triple space of "hell", "human world" and "heaven". Dai Temple is the main building on the central axis of Taicheng at the foot of the mountain, connecting Tongtian street in the front and Pandao in the back, forming a mountain city integration. From this step by step, gradually into a better situation, and from the "human" into the "celestial realm".
legend
(Pangu) in ancient times, heaven and earth were two clouds. I don't know when the light clouds began to rise and the heavy clouds began to fall. In the middle of the two clouds, there was a man named Pangu. He grew up with the separation of the two clouds. One day, the two clouds no longer rose and fell, forming heaven and earth. But Pangu was still growing and had the potential to pierce heaven and earth, So God killed Pangu with lightning. After Pangu fell down, his body turned into five mountains. The reason why Mount Tai is called the head of five mountains is that he is Pangu's head.
(wangrensong) it is said that a long time ago, there lived a young couple near Chaoyang cave. They worked at sunrise and died at sunset. They loved each other and were kind to each other. One day, a florist from other places went to Mount Tai to collect flowers and plants. He accidentally fell off the cliff and was rescued home by his husband. They took good care of him and soon recovered. In order to thank them for saving their lives, the gardeners took out many seeds of exotic flowers and plants, saying that they were scattered in the mountains. Next year, Mount Tai will be full of flowers and enchanting. They did so. The next year, Mount Tai was very beautiful and full of flowers and grass. Once again, a stonecutter came to their house to shelter from the rain. They gave them all their hospitality. In order to thank them for their hospitality, the stonecutter dug all the paths up and down the mountain overnight and attracted a large number of tourists, which opened their eyes. Later, in order to make Mount Tai more beautiful, his husband dressed up, Determined to go out and learn skills. However, after a year, two years, three years, the husband did not hear the return date. From spring to summer, from autumn to winter, the young wife stood on the hillside anxiously looking forward to it. The heavy snow covered her body. Next spring, the ice and snow melted away, but the young wife disappeared. A graceful pine tree grew up where she stood, Like the young woman looking forward to her husband's return. One day, her husband finally came back and saw that his wife had become a pine tree. He was very sad. So he built a stone house under the tree and guarded his wife day and night. He dedicated all his love for his wife to Mount Tai. He did a lot of good things to dress up Mount Tai, build Mount Tai, and for the visitors to Mount Tai.

When he walked to yunbu bridge, he saw many mountains, white clouds, Qin pines, long streams, and waterfalls. It's like the Milky Way hanging upside down, green mountains and clear waters. It's like the freshness of the new rain. It's unforgettable to stay at the bottom of the stream and catch jade pearls and flowers.

There are waves of pines on the bed, flowing water on the bottom, beautiful singers and dancers in front, and green mountains on the back. The civil and military ministers are very busy running here and there. As it happened, Huang Feihu, the God of Mount Tai, passed by on his tour. Seeing that Zhenzong enjoyed himself so much, he could not help but get angry: "this incompetent Hun Jun, named Fengchan in Mount Tai, is actually touring the mountains and waters. He is not sincere in heart and mind. Let's blow him down the mountain." So the mountain god rolled a huge stone around him towards Zhenzong. At this time, Zhenzong was enjoying the scenery. Suddenly, he heard a loud voice. Looking back, he saw a big stone coming from the top. He was so scared that his three souls and six spirits went up to heaven. He cried out, "Oh, my mother, please help me." at this moment, there was someone else answering. The Minister of culture and military had already fled for his life. Only Fengchan made Wang qinruo tremble and get under the bed. Wang qinruo was under the bed, Seeing that the huge stone suddenly stopped under the tree, he suddenly got strong and cried out: "long live, don't be afraid. Shisou was sent by Yuanjun to meet him." When Zhenzong heard the words, he saw the big stone standing up, as if he was giving a gift to himself, so he went back to bed, recruited civil and military officials, and said solemnly, "slave, a piece of gravel scares you like this? I'm the son of the real dragon. I was sent by the emperor yuan to meet him. How could I suffer such a disaster? " Having said that, Zhenzong's heart was still beating at this time, so he quickly drove up the mountain. In order to please Zhenzong, Wang qinruo named the stone "jiejiashi" and the shiping where Zhenzong had rested "yuzhangping".
