Jinan
Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province on
the East Coast of China. Jinan has jurisdiction over five districts:
Lixia, Licheng, Huaiyin, Tianqiao and Shizhong, four counties:
Changqing, Pingyin, Shanghe, Jiyang and Zhangqiu City. Mount Taishan
Mount Tai is located in
the middle of Shandong Province and stretching into the sea, the
magnificent range is over 656 thousand feet. With the Yellow River
flowing at the foot of its northern slopes, it has been regarded as
the first of the five sacred mountains in ancient China for its
majestic heights and beautiful landscape. Jade Emperor Peak is five
thousand feet above sea level and is known as the Celestial Pillar,
which is the summit of Mount Tai. Mount Tai was deified by the
feudal rulers of various dynasties and given the title of the
"Divine Emperor of the East Peak". From the First Emperor of the Qin
Dynasty down to Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, many
personally visited Mount Tai to attend grand sacrificial ceremonies.
In addition, not only emperors, but also poets and scholars were
fond of coming to this sacred mountain, and left behind countless
inscriptions engraved on rocks and stones. Mount Tai is like a vast
museum of history, guarding tremendous secrets of oriental
civilization, which are representative of the creative wisdom of the
ancient Chinese people.
