Historical background

According to The Origin of Three Religions, Mount Tai in Dongyue is the first of the five mountains. "Mount Tai is the ancestor of Wanshan, the ancestor of Wuyue, the grandson of the Emperor of Heaven, and the home of the gods!" Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, the ancients believed that Mount Tai was a "very rigorous place", a place where people and heaven were connected, and they especially worshipped and feared it, calling the God of Mount Tai the Dongyue Emperor.

As the embodiment of Mount Tai, it is the sacred messenger to communicate with heaven and earth, and the patron saint of emperors who are ordered by heaven to govern the world. According to China's ancient theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Mount Tai lies in the east, the sun rises and everything is born. Therefore, Taishan God has important functions of guiding life and death.
