What do the three treasures, three Tianmen, three main peaks and three ancient trees of Mount Tai mean?

Some people call the Three Treasures of Mount Tai the Three Treasures of Mount Tai. They are the murals of the Temple of Heaven, the stone carvings of stone valleys and the cliffs of Daiding in the Tang Dynasty. Let me explain their meanings one by one.

The three Tianmen gates in Mount Tai are the First Gate, the Second Gate and the Third Gate.

Around Panshan Road, you can see the Gate of Heaven. When you come here, you will set foot on the road to heaven. The next day is Zhongtianmen. There is a tiger stone next to the stone building in Zhongtianmen, and there are two tiger temples on the stone. Three-day door is a worse door. After the Taishan cableway is opened to traffic, take the cable car from another road. It takes only eight or nine minutes to get from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen.

The three main peaks of Mount Tai: The three main peaks are Tianzhu Peak, Taiyang Peak and Zhang Renfeng.

Tianzhu Peak, also known as Jade Emperor Peak, is the highest peak of Mount Tai. Du Fu famously said that once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will find that all other mountains in the world are dwarfed. Point to this place. Located to the east of Tianzhu Peak, there is a weather station. This is a good place to watch the sunrise.

The three ancient trees on the mountain: Qin Song, Bai Han and Tang Huai are three generations of ancient trees in Mount Tai.

Qin Song beside Wusong Pavilion was the first shelter of Qin Shihuang on Mount Tai. Qin Shihuang was awarded the title of Five Elephants for his meritorious service in protecting trees. Later generations attached Wukesong. Gu Song was washed away by mountain torrents. I also planted Wukesong trees. There are only three now, and one of them is dead.

There are several Chinese cypresses in the temple. The branches are dry and thick. Some are half dead, some are cracked, and the tree looks strong. There is also a Cooper in the courtyard of Guan Gong Temple under the Red Gate Palace. The inscription says that cypress is the first tree. Whether it was planted in Liu Che has not been confirmed. However, judging from its dragon-like trunk and branches, it is really unusual. The people who lived with Dai Temple are dead, but young trees are born on the trunk. People call it Tang Huai steamed stuffed bun.
