Overview of Taishan

Hello ladies and gentlemen! "It's such a joy to have friends come from far away"! First of all, on behalf of Taishan people, let me welcome you to be Taishan’s distinguished guest! I hope that my service will satisfy you, and I also hope that you can sincerely cooperate with me and let us spend a wonderful time together. Now let me give you a brief introduction to the basic situation of Mount Tai, a world heritage site, and Tai'an, an outstanding tourist city in China.

Mount Tai is located in the east of the North China Plain and in the center of Shandong Province, with a total area of ??about 2,000 square kilometers. The scenic area covers an area of ??426 square kilometers. Its main peak is Yuhuangding, with an altitude of 1,545 meters. Mount Tai has a unique geographical environment. It faces the sea to the east, the Yellow River to the west, Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, to the south, and the spring city of Jinan to the north. Jinan, Tai'an and Qufu form a national tourism hotline - the "Landscape Sage" tourism line, and Mount Tai is at the center of this hotline.

Mount Taishan is known as "the first of the five mountains" and "the only one of the five mountains". It is majestic, beautiful, has a long history and numerous cultural relics. It is not only a symbol of the Chinese nation, but also a part of Chinese history and culture. miniature. In 1982, it was announced as one of the first batch of national key scenic spots by the State Council, and in 1988, it was announced as a world natural and cultural heritage by UNESCO.

As we all know, Mount Tai is profound and has extremely rich connotations. But what is its true value? In short, Mount Tai has important geological scientific value, unique aesthetic value and precious historical and cultural value.

Mount Taishan was still covered by the sea water in the Archaean Era 2.5 billion years ago. Later, it gradually rose out of the sea. It was not until the middle of the Cenozoic Era 30 million years ago that Mount Taishan was affected by the Himalayan Movement. , to form its current shape. Therefore, Taishan Stone is one of the oldest rocks in the world, while Taishan Mountain is the youngest mountain in the world. To this day, it is still growing at a rate of 0.05 mm per year.

The beauty of Mount Tai lies in the organic combination of natural landscape and cultural landscape. The beauty of Mount Tai's natural landscape lies in the height of the mountain and the majesty of its image. Its main peak is abrupt, the mountain is steep, and the mountains are stacked, which creates a strong contrast with the surrounding rivers, seas, and plains, forming a high and vast momentum of "seeing all the mountains and small mountains at a glance". The Taishan Mountains stretch for more than 200 kilometers, with a broad foundation and concentrated shape, giving people a sense of stability and weight, which creates a psychologically natural feeling of "as stable as Mount Tai" and "as heavy as Mount Tai".

The cultural landscape of Mount Tai is in harmony with the natural landscape. The focus of its layout is to start from the Sheshou Mountain where people worship the land at the foot of the mountain, pass through the urban area, along the mountaineering winding road, and go straight to the Jade Emperor Summit, which is the top of the mountain, and the overall conception of the natural space is carried out. This landscape belt is roughly divided into three spaces: the first is the bustling human city centered on Taicheng; the second is the area from Naihe to Haoli Mountain in the city as the "underworld"; the third is Daizong in the north of the city. Starting from Fangfang, we wind along the "cloud ladder" with more than 6,000 steps to the "Heavenly Fairyland" at the top of Daiding.

Due to its superior geographical environment, Mount Tai has become one of the main areas where ancient humans thrived. It is the highest and largest mountain in the hearts of ancient people, and contains more than 5,000 years of historical and cultural accumulation. In the yang of Mount Tai, the Dawenkou cultural relics of more than 5,000 years ago were excavated, and in the yin of Mount Tai, the Longshan cultural relics of 4,000 years ago were unearthed. This provides detailed and rich historical data for studying the transition from matriarchal society to patriarchal society, the rise of countries, and the origin of civilization.

Due to the cultural accumulation of ancient people, Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as the source of purple energy, an auspicious place, the home of gods, and the place where all things develop.

The ancients believed that "heaven respects highness and the earth respects thickness" and "the sky is too high to reach Mount Tai". Therefore, all the emperors who were so-called "ordered by heaven" expressed their gratitude to the heavenly father for their "orders". "To show your kindness, you have to go to the top of Mount Tai close to the heaven to build a high altar with earth, which means to increase the height of Mount Tai to worship the sky; then go to the small hill close to the earth in front of Mount Tai to build an altar to offer sacrifices to the earth. This is what the emperors of all ages have been passionate about. The pursuit of the Taishan Zen Ceremony.

If an emperor of a generation can ascend Mount Tai, it will be regarded by the people of the world as a symbol of the prosperity of the country and peace of the world. The emperor himself will become the "true dragon emperor" who is "inherited by heaven". Therefore, Mount Tai was raised to the same sacred height as the sky due to the continuous activities of offering sacrifices.

With the formation of the Zen Ceremony, Taishan religion also emerged one after another, so Mount Tai was dotted with ancient temples and numerous palaces. Subsequently, celebrities and Confucian scholars came to visit the mountain one after another, leaving behind a large number of poems, songs, couplets and inscriptions, which continuously enriched the connotation of Taishan culture.

Here are the ruins of Zhou Mingtang, where the emperor of the ancient Zhou Dynasty visited Mount Tai and made alliances with the princes, and the earliest military defense line in China during the Spring and Autumn Period - the Taishan Qi Great Wall; there are also the former sites where emperors of all dynasties offered sacrifices On the summit platform, there is also the earliest carved stone in the stele system - Taishan Qin carved stone; there is not only the Diamond Sutra inscribed by Jingshiyu, the originator of large characters, but also the inscription of the world's grandest sight - the inscription of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty on Mount Tai.

Five thousand years of cultural accumulation have made Mount Tai a natural history museum and a famous tourist attraction both at home and abroad. Ji Xianlin, a scholar from the East, believes: "Mount Tai is one of the main birthplaces of Chinese culture. If we want to promote Chinese culture, we must first promote Mount Tai culture."

Taishan and Tai'an are mountains and cities. Tai'an means "the country is peaceful and the people are safe", which means "the peace of Mount Tai means the world is safe". Tai'an City is an emerging tourism city with tourism as its pillar industry. It governs 6 counties and cities: Taishan District, Daiyue District, Xintai City, Feicheng City, Ningyang County, and Dongping County; the total area is approximately 7,700 square kilometers. Population: 5.36 million. Tai'an has a developed economy, stable society, convenient transportation and rich natural resources. In terms of transportation and resources alone, there are 4 national highways and 12 provincial highways within the territory. There are more than 50 kinds of underground mineral deposits, among which gypsum and natural sulfur rank first in the country. Sodium chloride is one of the largest salt mines in the country. Taishan red, Taishan green, Taishan flower and other granite slabs are famous at home and abroad. The "King of Stones". In terms of agricultural and sideline products and medicinal materials, it is rich in walnuts, chestnuts, fat peaches, jujubes, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc. Among them, Taoyuan Town was named the "Hometown of Buddhist Peach in China" by the State Council, and Taishan Red Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum were developed by the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. A variety of health medicines.

Today I will introduce to you the scenic spots and cultural relics of Mount Tai. For thousands of years, due to the emperors' enshrinement and sacrifices, Mount Tai has formed a mountain park, with mountains, rocks, trees, birds and animals, natural scenery and cultural landscapes integrated into one, forming a harmonious unity between heaven, earth and mankind.

Dai Temple

Friends, the place of interest we visited today is Dongyue Shenfu Dai Temple. Dai Temple was formerly known as "Dongyue Temple" and is commonly known as "Tai Temple". It is the largest and most complete ancient building complex in Mount Tai and the first temple in a famous mountain in China. It is the place where ancient emperors worshiped the God of Mount Tai. In the old days, Taishan people would hold a grand temple fair in Dai Temple on the Christmas Day of Emperor Dongyue the Great on March 28 of the lunar calendar. When mentioning the Dongyue Temple Fair, everyone will think of the story of the prodigal Yan Qing's fight in the "Water Margin Chapter 74". Masters from all over the world gathered in Dongyue Temple, and the prodigal Yan Qing was extraordinary in skills. After a fierce battle, the arrogant bully Ren Yuan finally became the defeated hero of Liangshan, causing a sensation in Tai'an Prefecture.

The Dai Temple is located in the northern part of Tai'an City at the southern foot of Mount Tai. It is exactly on the axis that starts from the south gate of the old Tai City in the south and reaches the Nantian Gate of Dai Ding in the north, harmoniously connecting the mountain and the city. Dai Temple was built according to the highest standard of imperial palace shape in the history of Chinese architecture. It has a high city wall, majestic temples, rigorous structure, overlapping palaces, carved beams and painted buildings, and is magnificent, with a total area of ??more than 96,600 square meters. Its overall design is to arrange many important buildings in sequence on the central axis, with other buildings symmetrically on the left and right sides; its spatial sequence is also gradually unfolded according to the depth of the axis. In front of the temple are Yaoshen Pavilion and Dai Miaofang; the north-south axis of the temple runs through Zhengyang Gate, Peitian Gate, Ren'an Gate, Tiankuang Hall, Hou Bedroom, and Houzai Gate; on the east side are the Hanbai Courtyard and the East Throne. , Bell Tower, East Bedroom, and East Taoist Courtyard; on the west side are Yanxi Hall, Huanyong Pavilion, Drum Tower, West Bedroom, and Yuhua Taoist Courtyard.

The Dai Temple was founded in the Western Han Dynasty and expanded in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was renovated many times and renovated many times after the founding of the People's Republic of China, making it look brand new and shine again.

Yao Shen Pavilion: When visiting Dai Temple, you must first start from Yao Shen Pavilion, which is the vestibule of Dai Temple. Whenever the ancient emperors had something to do with Dai Zong, they would first pay a simple visit here, and then choose an auspicious day to visit. Then enter the temple to worship the gods. There is a stone archway in front of the pavilion, which was built in the 35th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, that is, 1770 AD. It has four pillars and three bays, and is a soaring pillar-style archway. On the top stands a stone beast "Looking at the Sky and Roaring" with the words "Yao Shen Pavilion" written on its forehead. Iron lions squatted on the left and right sides of the square, and the flagpoles stood high.

In front of the square is the "Shuanglong Pond", which was excavated in 1880, the sixth year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. It is built with square stones and surrounded by jade railings. It diverts water from the Queen Mother Pond, surrounds the Dai Temple and then flows into the pond. Because there is a stone-carved faucet on each of the northwest and southeast corners of the pool, which is specially used for entering and exiting the water, it is called "Shuanglong Pool". On the north side of the pool, there are four words "Dragon Yue Tianchi" written on the Chinese board. Shuanglong Pond not only added a new attraction at that time, but also solved the problem of drinking water for residents of old Tai City.

In front of the pool is Tongtian Street, and at the south end is the south gate of Gutai City. In ancient times, as soon as visitors entered the south gate, they were immersed in a solemn atmosphere that said "climbing Mount Tai is like ascending to heaven". Civil servants dismounted their sedan chairs, military officers dismounted their horses, and knelt on both sides of the street to welcome the emperor.

Beside the pool there is a tree shade, and behind the pool stands the "Monument to the May 3rd Massacre in Jinan". In 1928, the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army invaded Jinan and massacred more than 5,000 of our soldiers and civilians on May 3. The Kuomintang Shandong Provincial Government was forced to move to Tai'an. The next year, at the anniversary meeting, the people of Tai'an donated money and erected a monument to remember the national humiliation. The base of the monument is square, with the inscription "Erected in May of the 18th year of the Republic of China" engraved on it. The four edges of the monument are cut upwards, like an angry sword piercing the air, which is the same as the "Monument to the May 3rd Massacre" erected by Jinan soldiers and civilians.

Yao Shen Pavilion is a two-entry courtyard. The mountain gate, plug gate, main hall, square pavilion and back gate are located in sequence on the axis from Tongtian Imperial Road to Dai Temple. There are five main halls built on the pedestal inside the mountain gate. On the top of the mountain, the front and rear corridors are covered with yellow glazed tiles. The hall is dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun; on both sides are three east and west auxiliary halls, each dedicated to the birth queen and the eye-catching grandma; in the courtyard In the 59th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1720), Zhang Qipang, the governor of Tai'an, erected a "Stele of Forbidden Sacrifice" to advise pilgrims not to sacrifice themselves at Daiding Sacrifice Cliff. The article says: "Instead of destroying one's body and humiliating one's relatives, how can one gain one's body to support one's relatives? Instead of dying one's body and seeking immortality, how can one live one's life and accumulate good deeds?" There is a cubic pavilion in the backyard with four pillars and a spire; in the northeast there is Mr. Yasuun Yanagida, a Japanese calligrapher. The engraved "Stele of Six Poems by Li Bai Dengdai" was erected in 1990; the ginkgo trees in the northwest are towering, and the clouds are reaching into the sky.

The current Yaoshen Pavilion is basically the layout of the late Ming Dynasty. Its small scale and narrow space are in contrast to the Dai Temple.

This expression technique from small to large, from low to high, from shallow to deep makes the Dai Temple more majestic and magnificent.

Dai Miao Fang: Between Yaoshen Pavilion and Dai Temple is Dai Miao Fang, also known as Linglong Fang. It was built in 1672, the eleventh year of Kangxi reign in the Qing Dynasty. It is a three-story archway with four pillars and three bays. , with staggered heights, whole-body relief, majestic shape and meticulous craftsmanship, it is a treasure of Qing Dynasty stone architecture.

The top of the square is a mountain-style imitation wood structure, with chi kisses flying into the sky, stacked brackets, flying eaves and corners, and beasts on the spine eager to gallop. There is a treasure vase standing in the main spine, and the two sides are reinforced by four vajra pulls. The small forehead squares on the center pillar are open-worked with two dragons playing with beads, and the dragon gate squares are embossed with red phoenixes and rising sun. A square stone seat was erected at the foot of the square, with double pillars erected on the seat. The lower side of the pillar is a rolling stone. On the stone, there are two pairs of squatting lions standing on the front and back: the male is playing with hydrangea, and the female is playing with the lion cubs. They have different postures, lively and cute. . There are more than 30 lifelike auspicious paintings carved on the beams, columns, forehead boards and rolling stones of the pavilion, including a ring of pavilions, a red phoenix rising to the sun, two dragons playing with beads and a group of cranes making lotuses, a horse flying in the air, a sacred bull fighting, and a unicorn delivering a treasure. Pictures of animals and auspicious birds. The pattern design adopts symmetrical techniques, and the composition and carving techniques are varied, which has a strong artistic appeal.

There are engraved couplets on both the Yin and Yang sides of the inner pillars of the square. To the south is Shi Tianyi, the founder of the Shandong Admiral and Chief Envoy at that time, who wrote: "It is as high as the sky, praising the transformation of the body and the creation of all things; the emperor is shocked, and the great voice is in the east." It means that the tall Mount Tai is equal to the sky, It assists the heaven and earth in transforming all things; Mount Tai, the god who dominates the universe, has a powerful spirit that intimidates the east. To the north is a couplet written by Zhao Xiangxing, the right servant of the Shandong Governor's Ministry of War: "As the leader of all the mountains, all nations are looking at the majesty, how can one be so virtuous? With the general photography of all the spirits, Kyushu is on standby to determine who has the merit and Beijing." The general idea is: : Mount Tai is the ancestor of the five mountains. People from all over the country come to admire its majesty. Who can surpass its virtues and benefits that transform all things? The God of Mount Tai controls the world of gods and immortals, and the whole world obeys his orders. His contribution to protecting the common people is so vast and profound, who can compare with it? The couplet brilliantly summarizes the power of Mount Tai.

Zhengyangmen: Friends, this is the Daimiao Palace City, with eight gates. The five facing south are the "Zhengyang Gate" in the middle, which is the main gate of Dai Temple and the gate of the emperor: "The Zhengyang Gate represents the sun-centered energy in the south." The small gates on both sides are Yemen; on both sides of Yemen, the east is "raising the high" and the west is "seeing the big", which means looking from the bottom of the mountain, Mount Tai is even higher when you look up, and you can see how big it is. There is "Donghua Gate" in the east of the temple, also known as "Qingyang", and "Xihua Gate" in the west, also known as "Sujing". They are named after the five gods of heaven, Qing Emperor in the east and Bai Emperor in the west. The north gate is called "Huzai", which means that the earth can carry the virtues of the Nine Emperors. It is also called "Lu Zhan", which is taken from the "Mountain Tai rocks, Lu Bang looks at" in "The Book of Songs·Lu Song", which is the name of the people of Lu State. What you look up to echoes the Zhanlu Terrace at the top of Daidai. It turns out that there are gate towers above these eight gates, and exquisite turrets are built at the four corners of the temple according to Bagua. However, they were all destroyed during the war in the Republic of China. Since the reform and opening up, the Taishan management department has successively rebuilt the Wufeng Tower on the Zhengyang Gate, the Wangyue Tower on the Houzai Gate, the Gen Tower in the northeast corner of the city wall, the Xun Tower in the southeast corner, the Qian Tower in the northwest corner, and the southwest corner Tower. Kun Tower in the corner. Please take a look at the attic that hangs high on the city wall. The brackets are protruding from three angles and the painted golden flying dragon is magnificent and magnificent. It seems to be flying in the sky.

Please follow me into Zhengyangmen. The first thing we see is the second gate on the axis, Peitian Gate. Peitian means "virtue matches heaven and earth" in Confucius's words. The Peitian facade is five rooms wide and three rooms deep. It rests on the top of the mountain, with front and rear corridors passing through the hall. There used to be clay statues of stars in the four directions such as Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu in the hall, but they were destroyed during the Republic of China. On both sides are the auxiliary halls, and to the east is the Sanlinghou Hall, which worships Tang Chen, Ge Yong and Zhou Wu, the admonishers of the Zhou Dynasty. Legend has it that when Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty visited Mount Tai in the east, he saw these three gods at the Nantian Gate of Daiding, so he was named the "Three Spirit Marquis" and later built this hall for worship here. The west side hall is called Taiwei Hall, which is dedicated to worshiping Du Chong, a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty. This man was appointed as the Minister of Zhongshu during the Huichang period of Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty. The east and west side halls were all demolished and converted into flat-roofed exhibition rooms in 1968. The hall we see now was rebuilt in 1998.

This ancient cypress tree growing on the east side of the road is said to be the Han cypress, with tall and lush branches and luxuriant leaves.

There is a strange tree tumor growing at the junction of its main trunk and side branches. The more it looks, the more it looks like a naughty monkey looking around in the monkey head and monkey head, with a round and square sign hanging on its chest. , this is one of the eight scenic spots in Dai Temple, the seal seal seal (monkey). It also reminds everyone of the story of "Guan Yunchang hangs a seal to become a marquis".

Looking inside the courtyard, there are more than 20 stone tablets on the east and west sides. The most famous among them are the "Stele of the Song Dynasty's Xuanhe Rebuilding Dongyue Temple" in the southeast and the "Stele of the Holy Emperor of Dongyue Tianqi Ren in the Song Dynasty" in the southwest. The two monuments face each other from east to west. They are tall and majestic, with turtles crouching on their heads, and extraordinary momentum. .

The "Xuanhe Stele" is an imperial stele erected by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty in the sixth year of Xuanhe, that is, 1124 AD. The monument is 9.25 meters high and 2.1 meters wide. The large bluestone turtle base alone is seven cubic meters and weighs more than 40,000 kilograms. There is also a magical story here. It is said that after Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty rebuilt the Dai Temple during the Xuanhe period, he wanted to erect a monument to commemorate it and set a size that must exceed all the stone monuments in the Dai Temple. Then he issued an order to all the famous craftsmen in the world to complete it within a time limit, and those who violated it would be executed. This was a hard time for the masons. After all the hardships, they finally found the material for the stele, but could not find the material for the stone tortoise. They were all anxious. At this time, the head mason saw a huge stone in the beach of Dawen River in his dream. He led the craftsmen to dig on the beach the next day, and the result was consistent with the dream. After the turtle base was cut, it could not be transported into the temple gate, and everyone panicked again. The head craftsman then bowed three times to the stone turtle and said, "Since the mountain god appears, please save people to the end!" Lingshi said as expected: "If you want to save everyone, you must first lose yourself!" The head craftsman said excitedly He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "As long as you can enter the temple gate, I will be shattered to pieces!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and a lintel fell from the temple gate, breaking the craftsman's legs. The stone turtle entered the door, and everyone was saved. The craftsman's spirit of sacrificing himself to save others is still remembered today.

The "Xuanhe Stele" was written by Yu Wencuizhong, a Hanlin scholar, and the inscription was written in seal script on the forehead of the stele by Zhang Chong, a Chaosan doctor. The inscription traces the history of worship at Mount Tai, whitewashing the peaceful and prosperous times, and describes the situation in which Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty "repeatedly issued imperial edicts and increased the number of palaces and palaces" in the 21 years from the first year of Jingguo's founding, that is, AD 1101, to the fourth year of Xuanhe. On the back of the stele, there are four characters "Wandai pay homage" inscribed by Li Dai, the governor of Shandong, and Wu Longzheng, the inspector in the 16th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1588 AD. It can be seen from this stele that the Dai Temple had developed to a very large scale in the late Northern Song Dynasty, with a total of 813 buildings of various types, in stark contrast to the more than 180 today.

The "Stele of the Holy Emperor of Qi Ren in the Great Song Dynasty" was erected by Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty in the sixth year of Xiangfu, that is, 1013 AD. It is commonly known as the "Xiangfu Stele". The stele is 8.2 meters high and 2.3 meters wide. It was written by Chao Jiong, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Yin Xi, a doctor of the Imperial Academy and Chaosan, wrote the ancient seal script on the forehead and the inscription. The inscription first relied on the divine power of Mount Tai to praise the Northern Song Dynasty. It narrated how Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty continued to confer the title of God of Mount Tai in the first and fourth years of Dazhong Xiangfu. It also advocated that Zhao Heng was granted the title of Mount Tai to thank the "Book of Heaven". Big changes. They attributed the temporary stability that emerged after the "Chanyuan Alliance" in which they won the battle and paid indemnity as the merit of Feng Chan. On the back of the stele are the four characters "Five Mountains Unique Zong" inscribed by the governor Zhang Yunji and the inspector Wang Lixian in the 24th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1596 AD).

In addition, please see on the east side are the "Inscription on the Shinto of Tai'an Taishi King Wumu of the Great Yuan Dynasty", "The Inscription on the Reconstruction of the Dongyue Haoli Mountain Shrine" and "The Inscription on the Seventy Sons of the Founder of Shaping Zhouxue"; On the west side, there are also the "Taishan Praise Stele", "Pickable Star Stele" and so on. The "Shinto Stele" was erected in the fourth year of Yanyou in the Yuan Dynasty, that is, 1317 AD. The stele is 7.3 meters high and 1.78 meters wide. The inscription mainly introduces the life and merits of Manwu Boluoguan, King Wumu of Tai'an, an important minister of the Yuan Dynasty. "Haoli Stele" was erected in the 21st year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1284) by Master Zhang Zhichun, the Dongyue Tudian Supervisor and Dongping Road Taoist Tutor, who rebuilt the Haoli Mountain Shrine. It was written by Xu Shilong, a scholar of Jixian in Hanlin Academy of Literature, Xu Rujia Shudan, the governor of Tai'an Prefecture. The inscription mainly explains the power of life and death of Mount Tai, and is the historical data proving that Mount Tai is the underworld. Later generations believed that the souls of dead people returned to the wormwood, and there were gods in the mountains, who set up seventy-five divisions to go in and out of the place of death and life. Therefore, people say: When a person dies, his soul is trapped in the wormwood.

The Monument of the Seventy Sons of Chuangshu Prefecture was established in 1349 AD in the ninth year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty. It was written by Zhang Congren, a professor of Confucianism in Tai'an Prefecture. The inscription first promotes the feudal ethics of "Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Rules", and then traces the reasons and process of the creation of the statue of the Seventy Sons by Kong Zhiyan, the 52nd generation grandson of "Dacheng Supreme Saint Wenxuan King" when he was a judge in Tai'an County. The "Taishan Praise Stele" in the southwest was erected in 1775, the 40th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty. On the front is the preface and inscription written by Zhu Xiaochun, the prefect of Tai'an, and on the back of the stele is a line engraved picture of Mount Tai.

Between the front and back of Peitian Gate, surrounded by cypress walls, there are a mixture of flowers and trees. Wintersweet, Chinese rose, winter jasmine, lilac, purple magnolia, azure, cherry blossoms, lingxiao, etc. are in bloom one after another, competing for their beauty. Especially around the May Day festival, several deep red and gorgeous green peach trees among the flowers are like pairs of ladies with heavy makeup, standing gracefully in the colorful peony flower beds. This rare season and rare scenery attract tourists to enjoy the country. Colorful and floral.

As you can see, behind Peitian Gate is Ren’an Gate, which is taken from Confucius’ meaning of “the benevolent benevolent”. The temple was originally dedicated to the gods of deafness in the sky and muteness in the earth, and was flanked by the east and west door gods. Peitian and Ren'an Gate are connected by a passage. There are bronze lions squatting in front and stone lions guarding the back, which adds to the sacred majesty of the temple.

Tiankuang Hall: Friends, after we stepped out of Ren'an Gate, we entered the courtyard of Tiankuang Hall. In front of us is the Ge Lao Pond, surrounded by stone railings, small and exquisite. There are nine exquisite stones scattered in and around the pool, which were presented by Wang, the mother-in-law of Wu Canfeng, in Fengfu County in the first year of Da'an in the Jin Dynasty, that is, 1209 AD. These limestones formed due to seabed sedimentation have the characteristics of being transparent, exposed, thin, dirty, crepey, ugly and beautiful. Their postures are weird and thought-provoking. What's even more strange is that there is an ancient cypress on the east side of Ge Lao Pond. There is a spherical scar on the trunk, which looks like an auspicious beast unicorn looking up. There is also a circular tree scar on the upper right, which is a natural formation. Another one of the eight scenic spots in Dai Temple - Qilin looking at the moon. There is another dead ancient cypress on the east side of the road on the north side of the pond. Its body is twisting and circling upward in a clockwise direction, with clear and delicate texture, which is particularly strange. Legend has it that it is the incarnation of an ancient loyal minister. When he accompanied the emperor to worship Mount Tai, he blocked the emperor's advice because he was dissatisfied with the huge cost, which angered the emperor. Although he was saved from death at the request of the ministers, he was not allowed to die because of his uprightness. Ah, refused to apologize and was beheaded again. His soul stood on the roadside to complain to the God of Mount Tai. He was listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Dai Temple - he would rather die than surrender. Legends are just legends after all, but in terms of the shape and characteristics of this tree, it contains a power of twists and turns and a kind of beauty that is both strong and soft. This is why people like it.

Ladies and gentlemen: In this spacious courtyard, there are towering ancient cypresses and thick shade blocking out the sun. Through the gaps, we can see a majestic and resplendent palace. This is the Dai Temple. The main building is the Song Tiankuang Hall, the shrine of Emperor Dongyue.

There is a small terrace to the south of the main platform of the main hall. There is a huge stone on the platform that stands out and stands out. This is the "Fuso Stone", also called "Jieshi", commonly known as "Confused Stone". There is an ancient cypress at the foot of the corridor 14 meters away from the north. It is said that it is the incarnation of An Jinzang, a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. After Wu Zetian claimed the throne, her youngest son Li Dan became the emperor's heir. She suspected that his son was treason and wanted to kill him. She sent her trusted ministers to interrogate An Jinzang and others. An Jinzang tried his best to protect the prince and shouted: "If you don't believe me, please cut your heart to prove that the emperor will not rebel." Then he stabbed his abdomen with a saber, all five internal organs came out, and he fell to the ground without any breath. He survived after being rescued by the imperial doctor. , Li Dan was spared. Later, after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, in memory of An Jinzang's loyalty, he was specially named "Duke of the State" and ordered that the three characters "An Jinzang" be engraved on the Grand View Peak at the top of Mount Tai. After An Jinzang's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of "Minister of the Ministry of War". It is said that the soul of An Jinzang once came to the Taishan God to complain to Wu Zetian about the death of his son, and turned into this cypress. Because of its name, it was listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Dai Temple - Gubai Pizhong. It is also said that visitors can receive blessings from the mountain god by covering their eyes with a handkerchief, walking back and forth around the fuso stone three times, and then touching the scar in the middle of the south side of the ancient cypress.

The main hall was built in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu, that is, 1009 AD. It was built by Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty to thank the Emperor of Heaven for the "Book of Heaven". It was renamed "Ren'an Hall" when it was renovated in the Yuan Dynasty. "Junji Hall" was renamed "Tiankuang Hall" in the early Republic of China.

It was designed in accordance with the emperor's "Ninth Five-Year Plan" system, that is, 9 rooms wide and 5 rooms deep. This is based on the meaning of "Nine Five, the flying dragon is in the sky" mentioned in the "Book of Changes". Its roof is in the veranda style with double eaves, supported by brackets in the lower part, and covered with yellow glazed tiles. The entire hall was built in The double-level stage with a height of 2.65 meters and an area of ??more than 800 square meters is magnificent and majestic, showing the style of royal power. Together with the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Dacheng Hall in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, it is known as the three major palace-style buildings in ancient China. According to folklore, the Tiankuang Hall in Dai Temple is the same as the Jinluan Hall in the Imperial Palace, only three bricks shorter, while the Dacheng Hall in Qufu is three bricks shorter than the Tiankuang Hall. In the first year of Jingde in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1004), Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom and Sheng Zong personally led an army to invade the territory of the Song Dynasty. Song Zhenzong was afraid of the enemy, so he conspired with ministers Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosou to move the capital and flee south. Because Prime Minister Kou Zhun insisted on the main battle, Song Zhenzong made up his mind to supervise the battle in Chanyuan, which is today's Puyang, Henan, and resulted in a great victory over the Liao army. Zhenzong has always been a peace advocate. Although he won the war, he signed a humiliating peace treaty with the Liao Kingdom, losing 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk every year. This is the famous "Chanyuan Alliance". When Song Zhenzong was in trouble at home and abroad, in order to maintain his rule with the help of the "divine right of kings", he staged a farce with Wang Qinruo and other ministers to send down the "Book of Heaven", and used this to seal Mount Tai.

In the main hall, there is a seated clay statue of Emperor Dongyue, which is 4.4 meters high and has a 1.6-meter-high Xumi girdle square stone base underneath. Please look at the statue of the god. There is a crown on the top of the head, with twelve hairpins hanging in front, reminding the emperor to be aware of everything; jade scales hanging on both sides of the crown show that the emperor is deaf to the greedy words of traitors. He is fully clothed in a Gong robe and holds a green jade tablet given by the emperor. The sun, moon and stars are engraved on the top, and the mountains and seas are engraved on the bottom, indicating that the Taishan God has the power to control heaven, earth, life and death. The statue is exquisitely crafted, solemn and dignified, lifelike, and looks like an emperor. Hanging high on the shrine is the plaque "Pei Tian Zuo Zhen" which was inscribed in the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1684 AD) when worshiping the God of Mount Tai. Inside the hall hangs the plaque "The Great Virtue" inscribed by Emperor Qianlong in 13th year (1748 AD). There is a huge plaque saying "Sheng". In front of the statue are displayed the five copper offerings given by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the ceremonial guards such as golden melons, moon axes, facing the sky, and dragon-headed crutches.

Emperor Dongyue is the God of Mount Tai. In order to strengthen their rule, emperors of all dynasties tried their best to confer titles and titles on the God of Mount Tai, and worshiped him with utmost devotion. The mountain god originally had no title. In the 13th year of Kaiyuan (AD 725), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji granted him the title "King of Tianqi". When Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty Zhao Hengdong granted him the title "King of Tianqi", he was promoted to "The Rensheng King of Tianqi". In the fourth year of Fu's reign, he was granted the title of "Sage Emperor Tianqi Ren"; Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, was again granted the title "Sage Emperor Rensheng Tianqi Dasheng" in the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1291). After Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he believed that it was "blasphemous" to add titles to the gods of Mount Tai, so he removed all titles and changed his name to "The God of Mount Tai in Dongyue".

In the main hall, on the east, west and north walls, there are paintings of "The God of Mount Tai Qi and Returning to Luan". The picture is bounded by the back gate, with "Qiqi" in the east and "Huiluan" in the west. It is 62 meters long and 3.3 meters high. As you can see, there are guards in front of the Jinluan Hall, and behind them are the queen and concubines watching off; on the Jinshui Bridge are the Eighteenth Great Scholars seeing him off; Emperor Dongyue is sitting on a large jade chariot with a yellow veil on top and a ring on top. On the third floor, there are six green horses driving, and hundreds of civil and military officials are cheering in front of them. In front of the train are two bright sedan chairs, with King Bingling on the left and Yanxi Zhenren on the right; further ahead are auspicious beasts such as Luan. The flags are flying, the knights are in formation, and the guards of honor are serving. At the forefront of the whole procession are the Yaksha's gongs, the Kirin clearing the way, and the palace music playing in unison; there is also an incense table lying horizontally, and the eighteen city gods are waiting for them. The returning picture on the west side is basically the same as the outgoing patrol picture, except that two yakshas are added, carrying a tiger and a camel carrying files, to show that Emperor Dongyue's hunting tour was a complete success. There are a total of 697 people in the entire painting, plus auspicious beasts and mounts, mountains, rocks, trees, palaces, bridges and culverts, which are sparse and dense, complex but not complex. It is one of the masterpieces of Chinese palace murals.

The mural is said to have been painted by Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty when he was enfeoffing to the east. However, the main hall suffered from fires many times and was rebuilt many times. Especially in 1668 AD, the seventh year of Kangxi reign in the Qing Dynasty, the Tancheng Earthquake occurred in East China. In Tai'an City, "there are almost no damaged walls and houses", and "all the walls of the main hall have collapsed", so the existing murals were repainted after the earthquake.

Examining the murals, it is obvious that the main characters, palaces and bridges in the lower part are all traditional Chinese painting methods: scatter point perspective or so-called average perspective, that is, there is no sense of largeness near or far, and the original appearance of the Song Dynasty is basically retained; The mountains, rocks, trees, trees and buildings on the top all use the Western focus perspective method, that is, the near side is large and the far side is small. Western painting was introduced to China in the early Qing Dynasty. Muralists considered it novel and imitated it in the upper part of the painting, thus making the upper and lower styles completely different. The murals were severely damaged during the Republic of China. During the Great War in the Central Plains, Sun Liangcheng occupied Tai'an and built a stage under the west wall of the main hall. Later, he stationed troops many times, posted slogans, installed wooden stakes, set up stables, and shelled several places in the hall. In 1931, Tai'an cultural celebrity Zhao Xinru repaired it and set up iron fences to protect it. The mural has been eroded in many places due to age, especially the lower half, so visitors are asked to take extra care of it.

In the east room of the hall, there is a Ming Dynasty bronze "Zhao Yao Bao Jing" with a diameter of 1.31 meters. This precious mirror was originally an offering behind the statue of Bixia Yuanjun in the Pavilion, and was moved here in 1936.

In front of the main hall, there is a high platform, which is wide and open, surrounded by carved railings and winding jade steps; in the middle are placed a large iron incense burner from the Ming Dynasty and two large iron barrels from the Song Dynasty, specially prepared for burning incense and extinguishing fires; the platform There are imperial stele pavilions on both sides. Inside, there is a stele of poems written by Emperor Qianlong when he visited the Dai Temple. There are 8 poems engraved in Japanese. It is an important historical material for studying the memorial ceremony for the Zen in Mount Tai. It can not only verify the traces of the emperor, but also get a glimpse of the Zen system. of transmutation.

The ancient emperors worshiped Mount Tai, first offered sacrifices to the God of Mount Tai in Dai Temple, and then climbed the mountain to offer sacrifices. During the Qing Dynasty, Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong held grand sacrificial activities here, including three offerings, two kneelings and six kowtows.

There is an ancient cypress under the corridor to the west of Guzhong Cypress, with a dead branch on it facing north, like a crane spreading its wings to fly. This is one of the eight sceneries of Dai Temple - crane spreading its wings.

There are hundreds of circular corridors on both sides of the main hall, which are connected to the east and west divine gates on both sides of Ren'an Gate. There are ten halls of Yama and seventy-two divisions painted under the corridors. There is a bell tower in the middle of the east corridor and a bell tower in the middle of the west corridor. The drum tower, corridors and towers were all destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. After the reform and opening up, the corridors and the second floor of bells and drums were rebuilt.

In the east corridor of the courtyard, 19 famous steles from past dynasties are displayed from north to south. Among them, the most famous are the replicas of "Qin Taishan Carved Stones" in the Qing Dynasty and "The Former Weiwei Qinghengfujun of the Han Dynasty". "The Monument of the Ancient Han Dynasty Gucheng Changyin Ling Zhang Junbiao", "The Monument of the Sun Family, the Prefect's Wife of Rencheng City in the Jin Dynasty", "The Monument of the Statue of the Daiyue Temple in the Tang Dynasty", "The Inscription of the Shenbao Temple in Qizhou of the Tang Dynasty", "The Scripture Building of the Tang Dynasty" ", "Song Sheng Yuan Guan Imperial Decree Stele", "Five Mountains True Shape Picture Stele", "Tai Chi Picture" and "Wangyue Poetry Stele", etc. It is worth mentioning that "Hengfang Stele" and "Zhang"
