Why is Mount Atai a ghost capital?

The ancients in China believed that Mount Tai was a cure for ghosts, so they thought that the underground of the city suppressed ghosts, so they called it the ghost capital.

At that time, Taishan's theory of treating ghosts was widely circulated. For example, there is a saying in ancient Yuefu: "Travel around the world together, and each department remembers Mount Tai. The music between people is not over yet, and suddenly it has returned to Dongyue. " This is also the theory of Taishan treating ghosts, which shows that people in the Han and Wei Dynasties have generally believed in Taishan treating ghosts. In early Taoism, Mount Tai was regarded as the ruler of Mount Tai. With the respect of the imperial courts, Mount Tai became the emperor of Mount Tai. Taoism respects Mount Tai as the head of the Five Mountains and the emperor of Dongyue, with 72 divisions in charge of the living and the dead. At this time, the belief in Mount Tai can not only cure ghosts, but also cure people.

In ancient times, Mount Tai was also a place where people settled disputes. People have grievances against the dead, so they can settle disputes in the land of Mount Tai. Some people think that if you are harmed by a ghost, you can also solve it by asking someone to report it to the land public. The belief in Mount Tai has much to do with the ancient courts in China. "Historical Records" said: "The ancients sealed Mount Tai, and there were seventy-two ancestors who meditated on the beam. In ancient China, it was a great event to worship Mount Tai, and only a virtuous monarch could worship Mount Tai.

When he was in Song Zhenzong, Song Zhenzong's self-confidence was frustrated by his alliance with the Buddhist monastery, and he strongly appreciated everything that could praise him. At that time, the people worshipped Xiangrui constantly. Song Zhenzong thought he could meditate on Mount Tai more than many dissenting Confucian Hanwu, and even played a joke on forging a sealed book. There is no such thing as meditation on Mount Tai in this later age. Yu Yuanming began not to do Taishan meditation, but only to make sacrifices. Emperor Qianlong, who was overjoyed, visited Mount Tai eleven times, but never closed his eyes and meditated.
