Is Mount Tai Taoism or Buddhism?
Mount Tai is a sacred place for Taoism and Buddhism. In Taoism, Mount Tai is regarded as the head of the five mountains and one of the dwellings of the gods, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. The influence of Taishan Taoism is not only in China, but also abroad. In Mount Tai, visitors can see many Taoist temples, such as Tianjie, Bi Xia Temple and the worse gate, which are all symbols of Taoist belief. At the same time, in Buddhism, Mount Tai is called the "holy mountain" and is one of the important spiritual places in Buddhism. Although there are not as many Buddhist temples as Taoist temples in Mount Tai, Buddhism also has a certain influence in Mount Tai. In addition, Mount Tai has also been integrated into Confucian culture and become an inclusive mountain where Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are integrated. Therefore, Mount Tai does not belong to a specific sect alone, but is one of the important symbols of China's traditional culture and religion.
