Extended information:
By morphology and cause of development of its erosion Landforms can be divided into the following five types:
(1) erosion tectonics in the mountains: concentrated in the main peak of Mount Tai around the Jade Emperor Peak, as well as the old platform, Huangshiyi and Huangyashan area, the elevation of about 1000-1500 meters, composed of the mountain lithology is mainly metamorphic rocks and granite.
It is the highest terrain in the region, with the greatest uplift and the strongest erosion and cutting of the mountains. The peaks and valleys here are high and deep, the terrain is steep, the maximum depth of the cut reaches 500-800 meters, the valley slopes are steep, there are a lot of falling water, the gravity collapsing effect is significant, and the precipitous cliffs and piles of fallen rocks formed after the collapse can be seen everywhere.
(2) erosion tectonic low mountains: distributed in the Aole Peak, Zhongtianmen and the tip of the mountain area, the altitude between 700-100 meters, the relative height of more than 200 meters, composed of the mountain lithology is mainly metamorphic rocks and granite and amphibolite. The intensity of erosion and cutting is slightly weaker than that along the main peak. However, the terrain is still very steep, with deep ravines and gorges, spiky hills, jagged ridges, and sheer walls and peaks as far as the eye can see.
(3) dissolution erosion structure of low mountains: mostly distributed in the northeast of the main peak of the Jiguan Mountain to the Green Mountain area, the altitude is generally 500-700 meters, the relative height of more than 200 meters, the mountain is mainly composed of metamorphic rocks and Paleozoic Cambrian limestone. The strength of erosion and cutting is moderate.
The mountain range stretches, such as the top covered with a thick layer of limestone, often forming a four-wall steep top gentle "square mountain" or "table-like mountain", locally known as "Shang", such as the Zhangxia and Shangshan area. Zhangxia and Shangshan area of the mountain, sometimes due to the limestone erosion, can form caves and "transparent mountain" type of erosion landforms.
(4) dissolution erosion hills: mostly distributed in the northern edge of Taishan Cambrian limestone area, the altitude between 300-500 meters. Relative height difference is less than 200 meters. Erosion cutting degree is relatively weak, the terrain is low and gentle, gully is not developed, the formation of a kind of dome ridge slow "piggyback mountain", dissolved grooves and caves and other phenomena are more common.
(5 tin-eroded hills: mainly distributed in the edge of the mountain south of the low mountains, the big river to the tiger mountain and yellow before a line, the altitude of about 200 meters, the bedrock is mostly metamorphic rock and granite, erosion strength is very weak, to the stripping of weathering is given priority to, and the formation of more than a solitary hill slow ridge.
Taishan regular is four lines:
1. The first: the most classic red door road hiking in the line, in fact, is the middle line Dengfeng Royal Road.
Dai Temple-Red Gate-Dai top of this ancient traditional line.
2. The second one is the line of the ring road that goes up the mountain by car, or you can hike up the mountain.
Tianwai Village (Tiandi Square - Ring Road - Zhulin Temple - Huangxihe Reservoir - Zhongtianmen - Nantianmen - Jade Emperor Peak
3. The third is from the northwest side of the The third route is from the northwest side of the mountain pass, which is the entrance to the Peach Blossom Garden, and is a mountain-ring road, or you can climb the mountain on foot.
The entrance to Peach Blossom Valley - Ring Road - Cai Shi Creek - Red Phosphorus Fish Sanctuary - Peach Blossom Garden Ropeway - South Heavenly Gate - Jade Emperor Peak
4. The fourth is the northeastern side The direction of the mountain pass is generally said to be Tianzhu Peak, which is the back of the mountain.

Detailed description of Taishan
Taishan, anciently known as Dongyue, also known as Dai Shan, Dai Yue, Dai Zong, Tai Yue, is the first of the Five Mountains. Located in the middle of Shandong Province, stretching between the three cities of Tai'an, Jinan, Zibo, east-west length of about 200 kilometers, north-south width of about 50 kilometers. The main peak, Yuhuangding, is in the north of Tai'an city, 117°6′ east longitude, 36°16′ north latitude, 1545 meters above sea level. In 1982, it was listed as one of the first batch of national key scenic spots by the State Council; in 1987, it was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and is a world famous mountain integrating natural and cultural heritage. In 1987, it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a world famous mountain integrating natural and cultural heritages.
The formation of Mount Tai has gone through the evolutionary process of various geological eras from the Archaic to the Cenozoic. The Yanshan Movement laid its foundation, and the Himalayan Movement created its majesty. The stratum of Taishan is a double-layered structure of the typical basement and cover of the North China Plateau, and its geological structure is dominated by ruptures and controlled by the uplift of the lift-slope fault blocks. Fracture activity makes it uplift, and the vast North China Plain to form a strong contrast. The southern part of Taishan Mountain is affected by the rupture and rises a lot, and its grass-roots level in the process of rising weathering, the peaks rise up, steep and precipitous, exposing a large area of basal miscellaneous rocks; the northern part rises a little, the ridge is low and slow slopes, the valleys are wide and the ditches are shallow, and the typical Paleozoic cover is preserved.
Taishan landforms are divided into four types: alluvial floodplain terraces, erosion accumulation hills, tectonic denudation of low mountains and erosion tectonics in the four major types of low mountains, in the spatial image, from low to high, resulting in the towering towering mountain ranges, the towering momentum, the formation of a variety of terrain groups by the combination of the geomorphological landscape.
Taishan miscellaneous rocks have a history of 2.5 billion years, is one of the world's oldest rocks, for the study of eastern China's ancient geological structure, magmatic activity and plate tectonics, has an important scientific value.
Tai Shan miscellaneous rock has a history of 2.5 billion years, and is one of the oldest rocks in the world, which is of scientific value for the study of the meta-ancient geological structure and plate tectonics of eastern China. the development of tuff and sand shale along the northwestern foothills of the Taishan Mountain in the area of Zhangxia, Mt.
Southern Taishan, in the Taikoujian rock layer on the fissure spring is widely distributed, from the top of Dai to the foothills, springs and streams compete for the flow of water, the mountain high water long. Spring water is sweet and cold, colorless and transparent, containing a variety of trace elements needed by the human body, the Department of high-quality mineral water, the ancient name "Taishan God water". In the northern part of Taishan Mountain, the middle and upper Cambrian and Ordovician carboniferous rock layers are tilted to the north, and the underground water is exposed in the terrain cut into springs. From the Jinxiu River to the north, the spring bubbling, scattered. The northern foothills of the hilly fringe, karst water to the north of the submerged, by the stratigraphic area of the gabbro block, have been exposed, so that the ancient city of Jinan has become a "family springs, household willows," the spring city.
Taishan region, is a temperate monsoon climate, with obvious vertical changes: the peak of the average annual temperature of 5.3 ° C, lower than the foothills of Taicheng 7.5 ° C; average annual rainfall of 1124.6 millimeters, equivalent to 1.5 times the mountain; the mountain seasons, the mountain connected to the spring and fall. Mount Tai winter is longer, the ice period of 150 days, the extreme top of the lowest temperature -27.5 ° C, the formation of freezing fog and rain wonders. In the summer and fall, the clouds and rain change, the peaks as Diane, forests and springs fly, the weather.
Taishan dense vegetation, a wide variety of coverage rate of 90%, was vertically distributed. From the foot of the mountain, you can see deciduous forests, broad-leaved coniferous mixed forests, coniferous forests, alpine shrubs and grasses, forest belt boundaries are clear, the plant landscape is different.
Taishan area is rich in resources, coal, iron, rock salt, gypsum, sulfur, serpentine, jasper and other mineral deposits, Taishan chestnuts, walnuts, fat peaches, Wen Xiangsui, antlers, Taishan Ganoderma lucidum, White Shouwu, Taishan Red Scale Fish and other local specialties, famous at home and abroad. Taishan granite, compact structure, fine texture, colorful, processed into red, black, green, flower, sea wave stone plates, has become a best-selling domestic and foreign high-level architectural decorative materials.
Taishan, a long history and splendid culture. In ancient times, the ancestors living in the Taishan area, created the Beixin culture, the Dawenkou culture, the Longshan culture, and gradually formed the Taishan cultural area. The Qilu culture in the north and south of Taishan Mountain influenced the whole feudal society of China. Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, successive emperors boarded the mountain to sue for worship, further enhancing the historical status of Mount Tai.
With the rise of Fengchan rituals, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism continued to develop and integrate in Taishan. Cui Wenzi, a disciple of Zhang Daoling in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was active in Taishan. Wei and Jin, Buddhism was introduced to Taishan, Zhu monk Langgong in Daiyin created Langgong Temple; Northern Wei monk intention in Taishan, Feedback to create Gushan Yuquan Temple and Guanghua Temple and so on. Tang, Song, Taishan Taoism, Buddhism into the heyday, the temple sound vibration Qilu. Yuan, Ming, there have been Japanese monks Shao Yuan, Goryeo monks, such as full of empty sea voyage to China, were appointed Lingyan Temple, Przao Temple abbot. Taishan local gods, mainly Taishan God, Bixia Yuanjun, Qingdi and so on. After the Song Dynasty, due to the transmutation of the feudal system, Taishan God was gradually replaced by Bixia Yuanjun. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yuanjun temples spread all over China.
The god _Taishan_ not only influenced China, but also abroad. In Japan, during the Heian period (794~1192), the worship of Taishan was introduced into Japan and has long been worshiped by the Japanese people.
Taishan for successive generations of cultural celebrities admire, or mountain incense, or visit to investigate, or hermitage reading, or school lectures, leaving behind a multitude of ruins and colorful poems and ink treasures. Confucius, "the hill song", Cao Zhi, "Flying Dragon", Li Bai, "Dengdai six", Du Fu, "looking at Yue", Su Zhe, "Lingyan Temple", Yao Nai, "Mount Tai", Liu Haisu, "Mount Tai Han cypress map" and so on are immortal masterpieces, a large number of writings on Mount Tai enriched the treasury of Chinese culture.
Taishan is also one of the bases for people to fight against oppression, tyranny and invasion in history. The Red Eyebrows Army of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsunju of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Bo of the Sui Dynasty, Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty, Geng Jing and Xin Qiji of the Jin Dynasty, the Red Turbans of the Yuan Dynasty, the Dashun Army of the Ming Dynasty, and the Twisting Army of the Qing Dynasty all fought in the north and south of Taishan Mountain. Northern Expeditionary War, the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation, the revolutionary struggle in the Taishan area, is in full swing, everywhere there are heroic footprints and moving deeds of songs and tears.
The scenic spots of Mount Tai are centered on the main peak and distributed in a radial shape. After thousands of years of protection and construction, it has become the representative of China's mountain scenery: the natural landscape and humanistic landscape are integrated. Mount Tai rises above the Qilu hills, the main peak is abrupt, the mountain is steep, and the peaks are stacked up, forming the high and open atmosphere of "a view of all the mountains" and "a group of peaks arching Dai". Mount Tai is full of pines and cypresses, showing its solemnity, loftiness and lushness; and many streams and springs, so there is no lack of spirituality and lingering. Misty clouds make it add a few points of mystery and esoteric. It has both beautiful foothills, quiet quiet area, open area, and there are illusory wonderful area, deep Austrian area; there is the rising sun, the sea of clouds, the sunset, the Yellow River, such as the golden belt of the top ten natural wonders and the rocky dock pine waves, pine on the perfect strange, the Peach Orchard House, the Lingyan Scenic Scenic and other top ten natural landscapes, as if a natural landscape scrolls.
Taishan humanities landscape, with ancient buildings and inscriptions as the main body. Taishan ancient architecture, according to local conditions, cleverly borrow the natural terrain to strengthen and beautify the natural landscape, the use of the steep south slope of the mountain, resulting in climbing Taishan as the mood of the sky. Here are both across the road and the gateway building, but also climbing at the turning point of the guiding building; both the stream and the construction of the landscape building, but also halfway up the mountain hanging embellished building, plus towering at the foot of the Dai and Dai top of the glorious sacrificial buildings, and then a long climb to the disk road as a connection, combining an extremely spectacular Zen ritual sequence of landscapes, and the peaks, forests and trees reflect each other, and become a humanistic landscape of the mountains of China's architecture The model of Chinese mountain humanistic landscape architecture. Mount Tai has a long history, large scale and large number of inscriptions, which is the most famous mountain. Today there are more than 2,500 monuments and carvings, the famous ones are Qin "Taishan engraved stone", Han "Hengfangbei", "Zhangqianbei", Jin "Lady Sun monument", North and South Dynasties "Jingshiyu Diamond Sutra", Tang "Jiyi Taishan Inscription", Song "Qingdian monument", Yuan "Tianmen Inscription", Ming "Hongwu monument", Qing "cliffs monument", and so on. There are both poems in praise of Dai, as well as the inscription of events; there are both long masterpieces, as well as the shock of a word; there are both flying cursive, as well as the ancient and clumsy seals of scribe, which is called the treasure house of Chinese calligraphy art.
Today's Taishan is standing in the east of the world with its majestic and solemn posture, long history and profound cultural connotations, displaying the elegance of the ancient civilization.

Picture of Taishan Mountain with a brief introduction
Taishan Mountain in Shandong Province is one of the five mountains in China
Taishan Mountain is one of the five mountains in China. p>Taishan is the first of the five mountains in China, the ancient name of Dai Shan, also known as Dai Zong. Located in the central part of Shandong Province, Tai'an City, stands between the mountains in central Lu, the main peak Jade Emperor Peak, 1532.7 meters above sea level [1]. Mount Tai is one of the first national scenic spots in China, and a natural museum of art and history.
Natural Geography
Taishan was formerly known as Dai Shan, also known as Dai Zong. It is located between Jinan, Changqing, Feicheng and Tai'an. Its southern foot began in the city of Tai'an, the northern foot ends in Jinan City, 426 square kilometers. The main peak is located in Tai'an City, Yuhuang Ding, elevation 1532.7 meters. The relative height difference is about 1300 meters.
[edit]Geologic genesis speculation
Taishan was formed about 30 million years ago in the middle of the Cenozoic Era. The stratigraphy of the Taishan region is ancient, mainly composed of several ancient rocks such as mixed rock, mixed granite and various gneisses, which are about 2.4-2.5 billion years old, belonging to the Tai ancient rock type. The western part of Lushan (including Taishan) was once a huge sedimentary belt or sea-canal. The orogenic movement made the rock layers on the sedimentary belt folded and uplifted into the ancient land, forming a huge mountain system, which has experienced 2 billion years of weathering and erosion, and the terrain has gradually flattened out. About 600 million years ago, Mount Tai sank into the sea again, and after another 100 million years, the whole area was uplifted into land again, and the ancient Mount Tai rose into a relatively low barren hill. About 100 million years ago in the late Mesozoic era, due to the extrusion and subduction of the Pacific plate to the Asian and European continental plate, Taishan in the Yanshan movement under the influence of the strata of extensive folding and fracture. In the frequent crustal movement, Taishan Mountain rapid uplift, are nearly about 30 million years ago in the middle of the Cenozoic Era, today's Taishan outline is basically shaped.
[edit]Climate and vegetation
Mount Tai, because of its height, the climate is also a vertical change, under the mountain for the warm temperate zone, the top of the mountain for the mesothermal zone. The mountain is cloudy, the average annual precipitation is 1132mm, while the mountain is only 750mm. 80% of the vegetation coverage of Mount Tai, the foothills of the mountain can be seen in deciduous forests, broad-leaved coniferous mixed forests, coniferous forests, alpine shrubs and grasses, the vertical boundaries of the forest belt is clearly defined, the landscape of the vegetation is different. There are 144 families and 989 species of seed plants, including 433 species of 72 families of woody plants, 556 species of 72 families of herbaceous plants and 462 species of 111 families of medicinal plants.

Sunrise on Mount Tai
[edit]Macro impact of human history
Mount Tai is a majestic mountain with beautiful scenery. In ancient Chinese mythology, after Pangu died, his head was transformed into Mount Tai[2]. According to the "Historical Records of the Collected Works": "The sky is too high to reach, on Mount Tai to set up a seal and sacrifice, hoping to be close to the gods also." Ancient people described "Mount Tai swallowed the West China, the pressure of the South Heng, driving in the Song, anecdotal North Heng, for the longest of the five mountains". Ancient traditional culture believes that the East for the alternation of all things, the place where the first spring occurs, so Mount Tai has the "long of the five mountains", "five mountains" reputation. Because of its majestic for the first of the five mountains, so there is "the world's most famous mountain first" reputation. 50,000 years ago, the fossil remains of the Xintai people and 400,000 years ago, the fossil remains of the Yiyuan people show that this area of early human activity. The Dawenkou culture at the southern foot of Mount Tai and the Longshan culture at the northern foot also reflect the activities of the clans and tribes in the early Yellow River valley. During the Warring States period, Qi built a 500-kilometer-long Great Wall along the Taishan Mountain Range to the Yellow Sea, the ruins of which still exist today. After entering the Qin and Han Dynasties, Mount Tai gradually became the symbol of the regime.
Over the past thousands of years, the natural landscape of Mount Tai has been integrated with the emperor's feudalism, poetic rendering, artisan art and scientific research, constituting the landscape of Mount Tai. Scenic area formed in the main peak as the center of the radial distribution, triple space (Dai Temple as the center of the city of Tai'an, southwest of the city of Artemisia Hill, "the netherworld", above the South Heavenly Gate, "the immortal world of Heavenly Palace," an axis (connecting the triple space of the landscape, mainly) Dai Temple axis extends northward until the landscape pattern of the Jade Emperor top. From an altitude of more than 150 meters of the foothills of Tai'an City, to the middle of the Tianmen 847 meters above sea level, South Tianmen 1460 meters, the Jade Emperor top 1545 meters layer by layer, constituting the unique landscape of Mount Tai.
[Edit]Feudal Sacrifice
After thousands of years of cultural precipitation, there are many humanistic landscapes on Mount Tai. Mount Tai is the center of Qilu culture and one of the important birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization. According to the documents of ancient Chinese dynasties, this mountain is often the place where emperors set up altars to pray for national prosperity and peace and hold Zen ceremonies. Legend has it that 72 chiefs came here in ancient times for hunting and sacrifices. Since the Qin Dynasty, 12 ancient Chinese emperors came here to worship. The first to hold a large-scale Zen ceremony here is the first emperor of Qin Shi Huang, leaving the legend of the five great pines; Han Wu Di eight Mount Tai, marveling at the "high carry on! Extremely carry on! Great! Special carry on! Strong carry on! Her carry on! Horrified! Bewildered!" . In Mount Tai Zen rituals have become an extremely grand Chinese history of the world's great ceremonies. It is believed that where the opposite sex and up or the emperor of high merit and virtue, the gods will give auspicious "Fu Rui", he will be eligible to report success to Mount Tai, thank you to be entrusted with the grace of God, which will form the Mount Tai ceremony of the tradition of the generations.
"Seal" is at the very top of Mount Tai to build a round altar altar sacrifices to the emperor, increasing the height of Mount Tai to show the merits of the sky; "Zen" is a small hill under the mountain to build a square altar altar altar sacrifices to the gods of the earth, increasing the thickness of the earth to report the blessing of wide and generous feelings. The square altar of the round platform indicates that the sky is round and the earth is square. A generation of emperors who boarded Mount Tai that is regarded as the world's peace, the sign of national prosperity. And the emperor himself has become a real dragon son. So the Han Dynasty historian Ban Gu in the "White Tiger Tong Fengchan chapter" said: "the king of the opposite sex and rise, must be ascending to seal Mount Tai He? The meaning of the report. Beginning to be appointed, the system should be heaven, the world is peaceful, the success of Zen to report the peace also. So must be in Taishan He? The beginning of all things, the place of account also."
[edit]Religious influence
Zenfu Temple Buddhism was introduced to Taishan in the middle of the 4th century AD. In 351 A.D. the monk Langgong first went to Daiyin in Taishan to create Langgong Temple and Lingyan Temple.
