Visiting Mount Tai for the first time

Mount Tai, the only one of the five mountains, is no stranger to everyone. I am fortunate to climb Mount Tai, the head of the Five Mountains. It is a famous mountain that countless great men have climbed, which makes me feel extremely proud and honored.

Confucius once lamented that "climbing Mount Tai is a small world". Zhang Yanghao wrote in the Yuan Dynasty song "Climbing Mount Tai": "Throughout the ages, smoke rose at nine o'clock and the sea rose at five o'clock." China is a country of poetry, and poets write poems to praise and express their love for Mount Tai.

Mount Tai, the head of the five mountains in China, is called Daishan in ancient times, also known as Daizong, and is located in the middle of Shandong Province, between Jinan, Changqing, Feicheng and Tai 'an. Its southern foot begins in Tai 'an and its northern foot ends in Jinan, Yuhuangding, the main peak of Mount Tai, with an altitude of 1532. 7 meters. Mount Tai is one of the first national scenic spots in China, and it is also a natural museum of art and history. This mountain is often the place where the emperor set up an altar to pray for the prosperity of the country and the people, and held a meditation ceremony. The first person to hold a large-scale meditation ceremony here was Qin Shihuang. In Mount Tai, meditation sacrifice is regarded as an auspicious "Fu Rui", which forms the tradition of sacrifice in Mount Tai.

We took a bus all morning and arrived in Tai 'an in the afternoon. We wanted to climb the mountain at once, so we took a taxi. The taxi driver said, "We finally came to Mount Tai. Why don't we go somewhere else? Let's climb up tomorrow morning. " It will be nice to watch the sunrise in the morning. I'll take you to Daimiao! "I said," great, take us quickly! "

Soon we arrived at Dai Temple. I didn't know about Daimiao at first, so I asked my aunt about Daimiao. She told us: "Dai Temple is the largest and most complete ancient architectural complex in Mount Tai. It is a sacred place of Taoism, and it is also the place where emperors held meditation ceremonies and offered sacrifices to Mount Tai. Together with the Forbidden City in Beijing, Sankong in Qufu, Shandong and chengde mountain resort, it is called the four ancient architectural complexes. Among the four ancient buildings in China, we have two in Shandong. Is this really the pride of Shandong people? "

What impressed me the most was the ancient pagoda tree, which was said to have been planted by mother Taishan herself. Although it is only a legend, I am really curious about the true age of this ancient tree. I went on the summer vacation on 20 10, and now I only remember so much.

That night, we went to bed early in the hotel. Early in the morning, I was awakened by another knock at the door. So we're leaving. After everything was ready, we headed for Mount Tai. The main purpose of this visit to Mount Tai is to watch the sunrise. It is said that the sunrise on Mount Tai in the morning is the most beautiful. We chose to climb the peak in the morning. When we set off, it was only around 4 am, and there were many tourists climbing the mountain in the street. At that time, before dawn, we climbed for more than two hours with the help of the weak light of the flashlight. When I first started climbing the mountain, I was full of energy. I thought it was a piece of cake for me, so I climbed the mountain quickly. Soon I was tired and tired, and I could only walk a few steps. Finally came to the Jade Emperor Peak. Some people say, "It's easier to go up than down." I don't think that's possible. I'm tired from climbing this mountain. It's really not that easy!

When we climbed up, it was already dawn. We and the tourist were anxiously waiting for the beautiful red sun to rise, but after waiting for a long time, we didn't even see the shadow of the sun. Soon, the weather was bad and it rained heavily. We hurried down the mountain without seeing anything. This is my regret in my life!

Although I left a lot of regrets this time, I also gained a lot, which made me know more about Mount Tai and like it more.
