Taishan is so short , how can he become the head of the five mountains?

Mount Tai can become the head of the five mountains, not because of the height of the mountain, but because Mount Tai represents the land, territory and population. Mount Tai is not just a mountain in the ancient dynasties, but also a mountain with history, culture and politics, it is an irreplaceable mountain in the history of our country, in ancient China, the five famous mountains were given the imprint of the east and west, north and south, and the territory of our country was divided into Kyushu, and Mount Tai is Dongyue, the area where it is located is Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Gunzhou, the surrounding economy and population of Mount Tai are more prosperous than other regions, so Mount Tai in the pre-Qin period is already a high mountain in the east, representing too many meanings.

Mount Tai is already the origin of Qilu culture in the Neolithic Age, after which Mount Tai also passed through the Dawenkou culture, Longshan culture, Beixin culture and so on, the formation of Qilu culture of Mount Tai is mainly from the vassal states of Qi and Lu during the Zhou period. We all know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi was once the overlord of one side and became the leader of the vassal states at that time, and the State of Qi at that time became the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period under the governance of the Duke of Qi Huan, with the assistance of Guan Zhong, relying on a natural good position. Because the Lu State paid the most attention to the Zhou ritual culture, it became the altar of the people in the world at that time, and many Confucian scholars were famous from the Lu State.

In ancient times, emperors often used natural landscapes to represent political etiquette, and in all dynasties, there were many emperors who practiced Zen in Taishan. The reason why the emperor came to Mount Tai to seal Zen is not just for tourism, but after the declaration of sovereignty and territory in Mount Tai, with the demonstration of several emperors in front, more and more emperors have followed suit. In the "Historical Records", it is recorded that the emperor Mount Tai Feng Zen is actually equivalent to the enthronement ceremony, and not sealing Zen in Mount Tai is like not being an emperor.

Mount Tai also represents the Confucian culture of Confucius, Confucius's hometown is not far from Mount Tai in Qufu, Confucius often climbs Mount Tai, and therefore left in the book "Mencius" that "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed the Taishan Mountain and the small world, so it is difficult to look at the sea for the water, and it is difficult for the person who swims in the door of the sage to speak". Now on Mount Tai, there are still many landscapes marked with stories about Confucius, and the "harsh government is fiercer than the tiger" that we are familiar with is actually the remarks of Confucius who met a woman crying in Mount Tai.

The relative height difference of Mount Tai is more than 1,000 meters, so it will look relatively tall. In the Han Dynasty, China determined the five mountains, and Mount Tai was in the highest position in May. Many emperors would hold grand ceremonies here.

Because Mount Tai has very important political significance, it is the place where the royal worship of the heavens and the enshrinement of Zen in various dynasties in ancient times, so it is respected as the head of the five mountains.

East, west, north, south, middle, in the eyes of the ancients, the east represents the first, Mount Tai is in the east of China, so Mount Tai has become the head of the five mountains.

The five mountains split the ground and skyscraper, and the air crown is outstanding. For thousands of years, the emperor has been worshipping here, monks and Taoists have practiced and chanted scriptures here, good men and women have burned incense and made wishes here, and celebrities and elegant guests also like to write poems and paintings here, leaving many humanistic relics to Wuyue, and Wuyue is more famous. It is no wonder that after people climb the five mountains, they will sigh that "the five mountains return and don't look at the mountains".

Mount Tai of Dongyue stands in the middle of Shandong Province, high to the clouds, towering and steep, magnificent, the highest peak is more than 1500 meters above sea level, respect for the head of the five mountains. Confucius once had the sentence "climb Mount Tai and make the world small", but the world he said at that time was limited to a few countries adjacent to Lu. Later generations carved the stele of "Confucius is a small place in the world" on the top of Mount Tai to commemorate.

Therefore, Mount Tai has been said to be "small world" since ancient times. After the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu climbed to the top of Mount Tai, he wrote the poem "Will be the top of the mountain, and see the mountains at a glance". According to records, there were seventy-two emperors in the past dynasties, all of whom came to Mount Tai, leaving behind rich historical and cultural monuments.

Nanyue Hengshan is located on the shore of the Xiangjiang River on the northern edge of the Hengyang Basin in Hunan. The main peak, Zhurong Peak, is 1,2900 meters above sea level.

Tourists arrive at the "Thousand Feet Building" under the "Heart Stone", if they have no courage, they will change their minds, look at the peak and sigh, and return in a huff. It is said that Han Yu, a literati in the Tang Dynasty, once traveled to Huashan with several people, and when he climbed Canglongling, he saw the abyss below, the white clouds detoured, and he couldn't look back, and suddenly he was desperate, so he wrote a suicide note and threw it under the cliff to say goodbye, and later the ** where Huashan was located rescued him down the mountain. Now in the place where Han Yu cried and surrendered his book, after restoration, it is a stable stone level, the stone pillar is a column, the iron cable can be followed, and the ropeway can go up and down, and there is no need to worry about the danger of boarding.

There are many beautiful and moving myths in Huashan, the story of agarwood splitting the mountain cherry early stove to save the mother, on the west peak of Huashan, there is still a huge "axe splitting stone".
