Taishan has accompanied the inheritance of Chinese civilization over the past five thousand years. It symbolizes the prosperity of the country and the survival of the nation. It is the spiritual home of the Chinese nation, a microcosm of Eastern culture, and a place where the idea of "harmony between man and nature" is entrusted. It carries rich geographical, historical, and cultural connotations. The ancients regarded it as a paradise "leading directly to the imperial throne", making it a sacred mountain worshipped by the common people and sacrificed to by emperors.
There is a saying that "if Taishan is peaceful, the whole world will be peaceful." From the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, 13 generations of emperors personally climbed Taishan to perform the Fengshan ceremony or offer sacrifices, and 24 generations of emperors sent officials to offer sacrifices 72 times. On the mountain, there are 29 ancient architectural complexes such as temples, palaces, and Taoist temples, 128 ancient ruins, and more than 2,000 steles and cliff inscriptions of various sizes.
The scenery here is majestic, magnificent, secluded, and elegant, with beautiful and magnificent natural landscapes such as the pine waves in Shiwu Valley and the sea of clouds like a jade plate. Its historical culture, natural scenery, and geological wonders are harmoniously integrated, making it of special historical, cultural, aesthetic, and scientific value.
