Interpretation of Taishan Scenic Area (representative work of Wang Fei, the top ten tour guide in Tai 'an)

Two thousand five hundred years ago, a philosopher said this: It is a great pleasure to have friends from afar! Today, 2500 years later, invite all the friends here to come to our Qilu land! Here, please allow me to extend my warmest welcome to you on behalf of the 90.79 million people in Shandong!

I am an out-and-out Shandong guy standing in front of everyone! I am a full-time tour guide of Taian Hongtai Travel Agency. My name is Wang Fei. Today's trip to Mount Tai is for me. I hope this trip will leave you unforgettable memories! Finally, I wish you all happiness and satisfaction!

Speaking of Mount Tai, I believe all the friends here will be familiar with it. Whether you have been to Tai 'an or Mount Tai. Mount Tai can be seen everywhere in our life. If you were asked to give a few idioms or short sentences about Mount Tai, I believe you would give many examples! ? `````````` OK, OK ```` It seems that everyone can really talk a lot. The short sentences of these idioms give us the feeling that Mount Tai is very high, including the stone carvings we saw after climbing to the top of the mountain today, which describe Mount Tai as a towering mountain, towering into the sky, holding the sun high and worshiping the five mountains alone. So what's unique about Mount Tai? Why did the ancients admire it so much! ?

Is Mount Tai the highest mountain? ? The answer is definitely not. The altitude of Mount Tai is 1532.7m, ranking only 16 among the national 19 famous mountains and rivers, and the third among the five mountains! Don't compare with Mount Everest, even if it is compared with Wutai Mountain, it is only half as high as Wutai Mountain!

Is Mount Tai the most beautiful mountain? ? The answer is none. You may have heard the words of Xu Xiake, an ancient geologist, "When the Five Mountains return, they don't look at the mountains, and when the Huangshan Mountain returns, they don't look at the mountains". As far as scenery is concerned, Mount Tai is not the most beautiful mountain.

Then why is Mount Tai also known as the head of May, the statue of five mountains, and the reputation of rising from the ground? ?

This is the result of many factors.

If all of us can clearly see from an enlarged Landsat image, Mount Tai is the only mountain in the world within hundreds of kilometers of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang! It starts from Yanshan Mountain and Taihang Mountain in the north, reaches the Yangtze River in the south, reaches Huashan Mountain in the west, and reaches the sea in the east. In this vast land, in the melting pot of the Chinese nation, there are only a handful of mountains with an altitude of 1000 meters, while Mount Tai is a well-deserved mountain family. In ancient times, people didn't have accurate measuring tools, they all relied on visual inspection. I saw Mount Tai standing on the plain. In the 9 km distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the ground height has reached 1392 meters, which has formed an obvious sense of gap with rivers, lakes and plains. Therefore, people have called it "Mount Tai" since ancient times.

The name of Mount Tai was first seen in the Book of Songs Truffles: "The rock of Mount Tai is what Lu Bang hoped for", which refers to the majestic figure of Mount Tai, which can be seen by the people of Lu. The word "Tai" means greatness, smoothness and peace. Therefore, the meaning of Mount Tai can be understood as the biggest mountain, the mountain with high sky and the stable mountain.

Mount Tai also has a name.

You know what! ? Remind everyone that we have heard of the grandeur of Mount Tai! Endless green spans Qilu and Qilu. In Du Fu's Wang Yue. By the way, Mount Tai, also known as Daizong, was called in ancient books during the Warring States period. What is Dai always? Bag, mountain also; Zong, the elder also. Daizong means the length of the mountain!

Or maybe the seniors didn't mean it. Later, geologists' isotopic analysis of Taishan Mountain proved that the oldest isotopic rock in the mountain was 2.8 billion years old! You know, the age of our planet is about 4.8 billion years old. And ty is more than half the age of the earth.

Due to its geographical location, Mount Tai happened to be the earliest place where ancient humans propagated. Modern scientific archaeological research has proved that there were traces of human activities as early as 50 thousand years ago in the Paleolithic Age! In the Neolithic Age 5000 years ago, Dawenkou culture at the southern foot of Mount Tai and Longshan culture at the northern foot not only affected Shandong, but also affected the vast areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. History tells us that Taishan area has become an important birthplace of oriental culture as early as ancient times. Because of the magnificent mountain structure, Mount Tai was recorded as early as the Dawenkou culture in the Neolithic Age. Thus, Mount Tai became the earliest famous mountain before Qin Dynasty in China! In other words, Taishan has long been a celebrity!

Later, with the migration of ancestors from Haidai area to the Central Plains and the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, people gradually realized that Mount Tai was not the navel of the sky, but the mountain of the East. The East is the place where the sun was born. The ancients thought it was the place where everything met and spring came out. Therefore, the East has become the source of life, a symbol of hope and good luck. Ancient ancestors often regarded the majestic and peculiar Dongyue as a god, and worshipped the mountain god as the object of praying for good weather. Therefore, Mount Tai, located in the east, has become an "auspicious mountain" and a "cradle of all things".

House of the gods. Later, those "sons of heaven" appointed by heaven regarded Mount Tai as a symbol of national unity and rights. In order to thank heaven and earth for giving them life, they will also go to Mount Tai to worship Zen. Then what is meditation? ? The ancient prose explained that the so-called seal is not only to erect a truncated cone at the top of the mountain to worship the gods; Zen is not just about setting up a platform at the foot of the mountain to worship the gods. If a generation of emperors can come to Mount Tai to meditate during their reign, it will be regarded by the whole world as a symbol of world peace and national prosperity! Then the emperor became the real dragon emperor!

Legend has it that before the Qin Dynasty, 72 generations of kings came to Mount Tai to meditate, followed by Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Han Zhangdi, Sui Wendi, Tang Xuanzong, Qing Kangxi, Qianlong and so on. They came to Mount Tai to meditate and sacrifice, and carved stones to record their merits! Because the image spokesmen of Mount Tai are emperors of past dynasties, they rely on the great power of Mount Tai to consolidate their rule, so the sacred status of Mount Tai has been promoted to an unbounded height.

With the closing ceremony of emperors in past dynasties, Mount Tai has become an important place for various religious schools. You know, as early as the Warring States period, there was a record behind Huang Boyang's becoming a monk! Later, Taoist celebrities gave lectures and built temples in Mount Tai. Buddhism has been developing in Mount Tai since Langgong, a monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, founded Langgong Temple.

At the same time, Mount Tai has also attracted many cultural celebrities, and scholars from all previous dynasties flocked to visit the mountains and rivers, leaving behind extremely rich cultural products. As we all know, Confucius, Guan Zhong, Sima Qian, Zhang Heng, Zhuge Liang, Cao Zhi, Li Bai, Du Fu, Liu Yuxi, Su Dongpo, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Shizhen, Guo Moruo and so on. They all went to Mount Tai, leaving behind a sea of poems praising Dai. If we climb stairs from the foot of the mountain to the top of Mount Tai today, they will lead people from the worship of mountain gods in Mount Tai to a new direction of sightseeing and learning aesthetics.

Today's Mount Tai is known to the world. As early as 1982, it was announced by the State Council as "the first batch of national key scenic spots"; 1987 65438+In February, Mount Tai was rated as "World Natural and Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO, becoming the world's first double heritage! In 2003, among the top ten famous mountains in China announced by the Great Hall of the People, Mount Tai topped the list. Mount Tai was rated as the most beautiful place in Shandong Province in 2005, and was also rated as a national geological park in the same year. In 2006, it was awarded the World Geopark!

With more than 5,000 years of historical and cultural accumulation, Mount Tai has become a natural history museum and a rare tourist attraction. Ji Xianlin, an oriental scholar, once said, "If you want to carry forward Chinese culture, you must first carry forward Taishan culture"! In Ode to Mount Tai, Yang Xin, a professor of aesthetics in Peking University, described Mount Tai in this way: high and lofty, male and amiable, turquoise as the bone, clear spring as the heart, breathing the universe, breathing clouds, the bosom of the sea and the sky, the soul of China!

Born in China, we can't reach Mount Tai, and we can't travel around Mount Tai for more than two days, which will be a great regret in life. People often say that "the blind touch the elephant and don't know Mount Tai", but this ignorance is not ignorance, but ignorance. Today, we all came by mutual agreement. Before coming to the legendary Mount Tai, we will experience the profoundness of Mount Tai together!

Unconsciously, our destination Taishan is coming. Before getting off the bus, Xiao Wang wants to tell you a few things here. Come out to play, safety first. Although the track in Mount Tai is very safe, all of us should follow the principle of walking without watching and watching without walking, so that you can visit better. The cultural relics and historic sites on the mountain are non-renewable resources, and we should all pay attention to their protection. Then it was winter, and the vegetation on the mountain was yellow. Everyone should help the scenic spot to do a good job in fire prevention, and don't smoke. This is not only good for your health, but also contributes to the scenic spot invisibly. Here, thank you for your support and cooperation with the staff of the scenic spot.

All right, take your luggage and we'll get off! ``````
