There are 5 to 10 articles about the deification and legend of Mount Tai.

Pangu opens the sky, and Dongyue is the first.

There are countless famous mountains in the world. Why do emperors and sentient beings of all ages respect Mount Tai, the East Mountain? This must start with Pangu, who created the world. Legend has it that a long time ago, when the world was just formed and heaven and earth were just separated, there was a man named Pangu who grew up between heaven and earth. The sky rises ten feet a day, the earth grows ten feet a day and Pangu grows one foot a day. So day after day, year after year, he lived tenaciously. After 18,000 years, the sky is extremely high, the ground is extremely thick, and Pangu grows extremely high. His breath evaporated into wind, his breathing turned into thunder, and his eyes blinked, flashing blue light. It was lightning. When he is happy, the sky becomes clear, and when he is angry, the sky becomes rainy. Later, Pangu slowly grew old and finally passed away. In an instant, the giant fell to the ground, his head became Dongyue, his abdomen became Zhongyue, his left arm became Nanyue, his right arm became Beiyue, his feet became Xiyue, his eyes became the sun and the moon, his hair became vegetation, and his oil became rivers.

Because Pangu created the world, later generations respected him as the ancestor of mankind, and his head became Mount Tai, so Mount Tai was called the supreme "the first mountain in the world" and became the head of the five mountains.

The myth and legend of Mount Tai-Shi Gandang exorcises evil spirits.

At the foot of Mount Tai, there is a man whose name is Shi Ming. This man is very brave, with high martial arts, and likes to fight against injustice. He is famous around Mount Tai.

Fifty or sixty miles south of Taian, there is a Dawenkou town. There is a family named Zhang in the town. The daughter of Zhang's family is 28 years old. She is naturally refined and beautiful. But every time the sun goes down recently, a demon blows from the southeast, blows open her door and goes to her room. In the long run, girls will be sallow and emaciated and weak. I've looked for many gentlemen, but they can't be cured. People say that this is evil, and drugs alone cannot cure it.

Lao Zhang heard that there was a brave Shi Gandang on Mount Tai, so he prepared a donkey to invite him.

Hearing this, the Shi Gandang went. He said to his servants, "Prepare twelve virgins and twelve virgins. Men have drums and women have gongs. "Then prepare a pot of sesame oil, twist the cotton into a thick lamp, prepare a pot and a chair, and everything will be ready. "

As soon as it got dark, he lit sesame oil with a wick. He buckled the basin and the pot together, sat beside it, and dug the edge of the pot with his feet, so that although the lamp was lit, he could not see the light in the distance.

After a while, a demon wind blew from the southeast. As soon as you saw it, it came. Shi Gandang kicked the pot with his foot. As soon as the light came on, twelve boys and girls beat gongs and drums together. When the monster entered the house, he saw the light on, so he flashed out of the door and ran south to Fujian. However, some farmers in Fujian are troubled by the demon wind. What shall we do? People asked. Later, I heard that there was a Shi Gandang in Mount Tai who could cure demons, so I invited him. He used this method again, and the monster ran away and went to the northeast. Another girl from the Northeast got sick and invited Shi Gandang. He thought, "if I take it for a while, it will run far away, and I can't run away from such a big place." To tell you the truth, there are many stones in Mount Tai. I will ask a stonemason to write my hometown and name on it:' Mount Tai Shi Gandang'. If someone is evil, you can put it on their wall and the devil will run away. " Later, it was said that monsters were afraid of Mount Tai and Shi Gandang. Just find a stone or brick and carve "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" on it, and the monster will not dare to come. Therefore, when building a house and a wall, the words "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" are always engraved on the wall to ward off evil spirits.

The Myth and Legend of Mount Tai —— The Origin of Yuan Jun in Bi Xia

No matter at home or abroad, anyone who climbs Mount Tai cannot fail to see his grandmother, Bi Xia Yuan Jun. Some generously donate money and give money; Some people are very religious and worship. It is said that Bi Xia and Yuan Jun can bless all beings and eliminate diseases and disasters, so the incense of Mount Tai still lingers. Every spring, many people come from other places to make incense and make wishes. However, they may not know the origin of Bi Xia Yuan Jun.

Legend has it that after Jiang Ziya assisted Zhou Wuwang in establishing the Zhou Dynasty, the world was unified, and King Wu believed that ministers should be rewarded for their achievements in founding the country. However, after thinking for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable gift. Finally, King Wu really came up with a brilliant idea to distribute all the territory of the country to ministers. In this way, it not only shows his generosity, but also shows his trust in ministers; At the same time, test whether ministers are really loyal to the country; Moreover, King Wu is so relaxed and happy that he can be his "son of heaven" at leisure. Idea must be, featuring the power of the gods to strategist Jiang Ziya, let him packet governors.

Said Jiang Ziya enfeoffment governors, other famous mountains and rivers, feng shui treasure-house, leaving only a mount tai in dongyue. Jiang Ziya has long known that Mount Tai is magnificent and beautiful, and it is a good place for people to play. He was going to take Mount Tai for himself, but he made a stop on the way, and Huang, the general protecting the king, came to see you, insisting on sealing Mount Tai for him. Two people are discussing, I don't know who let the cat out of the bag, Huang Fei, Huang's sister, also came to Jiang Ziya to ask for territory, saying that featuring promised her to come to Jiang Ziya. That's great. All three of them have their eyes fixed on Mount Tai, but they can't all sit there! What should I do? Now, only the Huang brothers and sisters are bound by Jiang Ziya, so they have to give up the idea of sitting on Mount Tai. However, it would be a pity to give up. When he saw that one of the Huang brothers and sisters had made great contributions to the escort and the other was fighting bloody battles in the background, he couldn't help blushing. He said to them angrily, "Come on, gentlemen, don't fight for anyone, don't rob anyone. With his own ability, whoever climbs Mount Tai first will be his. " Hearing Huang's words, I can't help clapping my hands and cheering. He thought: With my best efforts, can Mount Tai still have Huang Fei's share? However, Huang Ji, who was alone, did not show fear and agreed.

Huang is a soldier with developed limbs and simple mind. As soon as the competition date arrived, he rode his Kirin from Kyoto to Mount Tai day and night. Huang Fei racked her brains for the game and finally came up with a clever plan. At the beginning of the game, she first took off a shoe, made a magic trick, threw the shoe on the top of the Jade Emperor, and then came to Mount Tai unhurriedly. By the time Huang Fei climbed Mount Tai, my brother was tired of waiting.

Seeing that Huang Fei was late, he said to her, "No means no, don't try to be brave. Should you be convinced this time? " .

"It's second deputation! I came first. I thought you had an accident on the way, so I went to pick you up. I don't want you to come. " Huang Fei said solemnly.

"You don't importune, you said to arrive first, what evidence is there?" Huang is really a little worried.

"The evidence? Of course, let's take a look. "

Huang followed his sister to Jade Emperor Peak and saw Huang Fei's embroidered shoes just on the stone screen. Although there is evidence, Huang is not convinced from his heart and can't help but scold his sister: "You are glib." Huang Fei said slowly, "If you have the ability, how can it be tricky?" Huang Fei knew there was no fire in the paper, and her brother was easy to deal with alone. Jiang Ziya, when they come, they will be in trouble. She made a helpless look and said to her brother, "We are brother and sister. You should have respected me, regardless of you and me. Let's do this; I live on the mountain, and you live at the foot of the mountain; Can we manage Mount Tai well? " In this way, Huang, who came first, is a coward who doesn't know the truth; Huang Fei, who arrived later, became a generous good man; Yellow rolled his eyes with anger. But no way, who let her be his mother's sister, she had to agree.

When Jiang Ziya arrived, he realized that Huang had been taken in by his sister. However, when he saw that Huang's brothers and sisters had reached an agreement, it was not good to tell stories again, so he had to play along and named Huang Taishan God and Huang Fei God, one at the foot of the mountain and the other at the top of the mountain.

Daizongfang Arch memorial archway in Taishan myth and legend

According to legend, in order to monopolize Mount Tai, Bi Xia Yuan Jun defeated many opponents in various ways and eventually became the master of one mountain. Nevertheless, Bi Xia Yuan Jun was insatiable. Relying on the strength of her father, the Jade Emperor, she constantly expanded her jurisdiction. This aroused the indignation of all the immortals, and everyone went to complain to Jiang Ziya, who was in charge of the power of sealing gods.

One day, Jiang Ziya came to Mount Tai with the "list of gods" and defined the jurisdiction of Yuan Jun in Bi Xia: from the top of Mount Tai, each side was responsible for 50 miles. Bi Xia Yuan Jun was too small, so he quarreled with Jiang Ziya on the spot.

Jiang Ziya was neither angry nor angry. He gently advised, "Yuan Jun! If you think the ground is too small, we can discuss it again! "

"How to discuss the law?" Bi Xia Yuan Jun asked.

Jiang Ziya said unhurriedly, "You can find something and throw it down the hill. You can care where it falls. Do you think so? "

Bi Xia Yuan Jun thinks that with my ability and physical strength, it is no problem to throw a hundred miles! He vowed, "OK, let's do it! However, we must do what we say, and no one is allowed to talk back! "

"It's a deal, never talk back!" Jiang Ziya is very serious, very serious.

At this moment, Bi Xia Yuan Jun bent down, picked up the big stone at the edge of the bowl, raised his hand and threw it down. Jiang Ziya quickly stopped and said:

"Slow down! Stones are everywhere. If you throw them down the hill, how can you find them? Even if it is found, it is hard for other immortals not to admit it! In my opinion, it is best to throw something that others don't have. "

Bi Xia Yuan Jun thought it was reasonable, but he couldn't find the right one at the moment and muttered, "What can I throw?"

Jiang Ziya slowly revealed, "In my opinion, others don't have embroidered shoes you wear. If you throw it out, it will be easy to find, and others will not dare to deny it! "

Bi Xia Yuan Jun thought: Yes, I threw one embroidered shoe down the hill and held the other one in my hand. Who dares not admit it? ! So he took off an embroidered shoe and threw it down the hill with all his strength. After throwing away embroidered shoes, Jiang Ziya, Bi Xia Yuan Jun and other immortals found embroidered shoes at the foot of the mountain. See embroidered shoes on the ground, heel up, head down, looks like a small square door. When they calculated the mileage, it was only twenty miles from this place to the top of the mountain. At this time, Bi Xia Yuan Jun knew Jiang Ziya's plan, but it was not good to talk back, so he had to acquiesce.

Later, people built a square gate here, named Daizongfang Arch memorial arch, which became the starting point for climbing Mount Tai. At the foot of Mount Tai, anyone who climbs up from Tai 'an Beiguan must climb up from here.

taishannainai

Grandma Taishan went to Culai Mountain once when she chose a place. She found a large wasteland around Taipingding, which was full of all kinds of medicinal materials and more than 300 kinds of flowers and plants. Grandma Taishan likes this place and these flowers very much, so she named this place "Huapo". Having lived in Mount Tai for a long time, she goes to Culai Mountain to enjoy flowers every May.

When she came, she was pushed up the hill by a car, leaving rut marks on the hill. This is the origin of Rutting Mountain.

She thinks these flowers are very good, but they need to be managed well. So she brought a monk from Mount Tai to raise flowers and feed medicine for her at Huapo, so there is a mountain next to Huapo, which looks like a monk's head and is called "monk's head".

Monks water the flowers for grandma Taishan all the year round. The next year, grandma Taishan came again. The monk asked her several questions to let his old man find a way: first, there is not enough water here; Second, cows often come here to eat flowers. According to the monk's request, Grandma Taishan ordered two pools near Huapo, one called "Upper Pool" and the other called "Lower Pool" to water the flowers. People are often on the way into the mountains. When her robe sleeve shakes, two stones come out. These two stones are called "tauren stones". If the cow comes here, it will be caught.

In the third year, she came again and sat in a place to rest for a while. She saw many people going up the mountain to collect firewood, and their shoes were worn out. They wrapped it in kudzu root and Vitex negundo and continued to wear it. Grandma Taishan felt sorry for her and felt that she should give some charity to the people, so she tore off a hair clasp on her head and said, "You have become an awl shoe for the people." This hairpin turned into a sparkling cone-shaped mountain. She let kudzu vine and Vitex negundo walk around Cone Mountain, so that ordinary people can repair shoes.

Grandma Taishan went to the mountain, met the monk and said to him, "Your flowers are well-cultivated, but they haven't met my requirements." The monk said, "The water in the upper pool and the lower pool is too big for the flowers. We must find a way to water the flowers without flooding them. "

Grandma Taishan threw her robe sleeve again, and a clear spring came out of the mountain. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, it always drips down to water the flowers bit by bit. It is now the "Didi Daquan".

Grandma Taishan later felt uncomfortable looking at flowers like this every year, so she said to the monk, "Can you think of a way to make me stay comfortably for a few days every year?" The monk said, "Ask those people below to build a Guanyin building for you!" "

Grandma Taishan sent a monk to disguise himself as an ordinary person and asked the villagers to build a Guanyin building for Grandma Taishan. The common people offered stones and materials and built a Guanyin building on the flower slope.

Grandma Taishan felt that the people's efforts should be rewarded, so as soon as the robe sleeves were thrown, a big crack appeared on the flower slope. There are two urns in the crack, one is called "rice urn" and the other is called "noodle urn". Crops are planted in these two tanks, and they have a bumper harvest every year. The people went up the mountain to collect firewood, ate pancakes, wrapped a bag of rice and noodles from the urn with the baggage of wrapping pancakes, and went home.

Later, Grandma Taishan invited men and women around her to enjoy the flowers. In this way, it was inconvenient to go to the toilet. Grandma Taishan danced her robe sleeves again, and three grotesque stones appeared on the mountain, called "three people don't meet". Grandma Taishan picked many flowers in Huashan and wanted to take them back, but she couldn't take them away. One of her waitresses never said to her, "don't you have a washbasin, a mirror and a comb box?" Can't we put the flowers in the comb box? "

Grandma Taishan said yes. When I opened the comb box, there was a comb and a hairpin in it. Grandma Taishan took the comb away, thinking that the hairpin was useless, so she threw it down the hill. After a long time, it becomes a stone that looks like a hair clasp.

Arc cypress in front of Tianquan Temple in Daimiao Temple

There is a small cypress tree in the middle of the aisle under the terrace in front of the Temple of Heaven in Daisi, with a scar on its south side. It is said that it turned three times around the Fusang stone in front, turned three times, and then went north, touching the scar seam of this cypress tree. If you can touch it accurately, it will be auspicious. If you ask Taishan God for a child, you will get a child. If you pray, you will be blessed. People who want to get rich will get rich. But many tourists are not sure. Although this cypress tree is ugly and doesn't look old, it has a very touching story.

Legend has it that Wu Zetian was gradually favored by the emperor Li Zhao after he entered the palace, and soon abolished the queen and was replaced by Wu Zetian. Li Zhi is very kind and incompetent, and he can't make any big decisions when he goes to court. He needs the prime minister's advice, and then he will approve him. Although Wu Zetian is a woman, she is proficient in literature and history and imperial management. After she became queen, she gradually instructed the emperor to remember the throne and participate in politics in North Korea.

When Prince Xian grew up, he was very dissatisfied with his mother's intervention in state affairs and often had different political views, which angered Wu Zetian and was called to death. Shi Zhong, the minister who followed Prince Xian, has long been very disgusted with Wuhou's participation in politics. Seeing that the prince was killed, in order to show his loyalty to the prince, he drew his sword and committed suicide by caesarean section to show his dissatisfaction with Wu Hou.

After Shi Zhong's death, his soul came to Mount Tai in Dongyue to meet Mount Tai God, and sued Wu Zetian for appointing cruel officials and killing innocent people, even his own son, demanding that Mount Tai God punish him. Feeling loyal, Mount Tai turned it into a cypress and stood in front of the temple, guarding the mountain gods day and night, giving it the name "Lonely and loyal cypress".

The scar on the south side of the tree that tourists can see now is the sword mark of Shi Zhong's laparotomy.

Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. In the myths and legends of Mount Tai

There is a he jia zhuang in the south of Tai 'an, where there lived a father and son named He. They made a living by collecting herbs. There is also a rich man in the village who opened a drugstore and asked them to help him collect medicine. My father is in poor health this year, and my son seldom goes up the mountain to collect medicine because he takes care of his father. The rich man said, "If you don't go up the mountain to collect medicine, I'll drive you away."

He's son had no choice but to take his sick father up the mountain to collect medicine. When we got to the mountain, my father said, "I'll take the east road, you take the west road, and we'll split up." "All right!" They broke up.

The old man climbed halfway up the mountain when it suddenly thundered and the heavy rain began to pour down. The old man's legs are weak and his stomach is faint with hunger. He was trying to find a shelter from the rain when he heard a child crying on the hill opposite him. The old man thought, why is the child crying in such a heavy rain? No matter how uncomfortable it is, save the child! I braved the rain and ran to the opposite mountain. At first glance, there was a little black child, chubby and loving, crying there! The old man was in great pain, so he took him to a cave. The child stopped crying and the old man fainted. When I woke up, I saw that the child was gone, holding a dark, sweet potato-like thing in my hand, which was very fragrant. The old man was hungry and ate this thing.

After a while, his son came and shouted, "Where have you been? It's raining so hard! "

The old man replied in the cave, "Here it is! Here it is! "

His son came in and saw a young man with black hair, so he went up and slapped the man twice: "You pretend to be my father. How old are you?"

"I am your father, why don't you recognize me?"

When the son looked carefully, it turned out to be his father. He said, "Why are you so young?"

His father told the story in detail. He said, "Do you think there is still half?"

His son took this thing down the mountain and looked for the gentleman in the drugstore. It turns out that the black thing is medicine. Because this medicine can make people's white hair black, and where it is collected, this medicine has been called "Polygonum multiflorum Thunb" since then.

Myths and legends of Mount Tai: Sima Qian and "More important than Mount Tai, less important than a feather"

Sima Qian was a famous historian, thinker and writer in the Western Han Dynasty, who was famous for his respect for Mount Tai.

In the first year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu sealed Mount Tai for the first time. Sima Qian's father, as a historian, should have come to Taishan to attend the closing ceremony, but he stayed in Luoyang for some reason. He regards Zen meditation as a major event in his political life. He felt extremely sorry and disappointed that he couldn't go to the Zen ceremony in the east, and finally fell ill and was bedridden.

At this time, it happened that Sima Qian came back from his overseas trip to see his father, so he held Sima Qian's hand and said with tears, "Our ancestors were officials of the Zhou Dynasty, and our distant ancestors made great contributions to Xia, ranking first among the hundred officials. Later generations gradually weakened. Will the sky be extinct because of me? If you can inherit the official position of a surname, you can inherit your ancestral business. Now the emperor of the Han Dynasty has inherited thousands of years of Mount Tai meditation, and I can't accompany him, which is destiny takes a hand! After I die, you will inherit the teacher. When you are a teacher, don't forget my desire to write a book. "

Sima Qian saw the importance of Guangzong Yaozu's participation in the ceremony of sealing Mount Tai from his father's words. Sima Qian didn't realize his father's wish. Even after he went to prison, he was determined to finish his father's unfinished business with humiliation. In a letter to his good friend Ren An, he expressed his deep feelings after being punished, and mentioned his intention and determination to write Historical Records. In this famous letter, Sima Qian integrated Mount Tai into the famous sentence of the ages: "People are inherently mortal, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather." It can be seen that in Sima Qian's mind, Mount Tai is a symbol of solemnity, majesty and affability.

Later, people used "Mount Tai" and "Hong Mao", two objects with great light and heavy contrast, to compare two things with great light and heavy disparity.

Treasure in dai temples--lisi tablet.

In Dai Temple, the most precious and valuable monument is the Lisi monument in Qin Dynasty. It was carved in 209 BC. Although it has gone through centuries, its charm still exists.

Li Sibei has always been highly respected, and Lu Xun praised it as "the inscription of the Han and Jin Dynasties came from itself", which can be called an artistic treasure. Its vigor is like dragonfly, its beauty is like lotus, which shows its artistic charm. It is precisely because it attracts worldwide attention and is regarded as a treasure that it has an extraordinary experience.

According to legend, this monument was carved by Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, on the orders of Hu Hai and Qin Ershi, and stood on the Yaochi to show his praise. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was moved to the east of Bi Xia Temple to prevent wind erosion and rain. Five years after the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Bi Xia Temple suddenly caught fire, and the fire became more and more prosperous. As a result, the Bi Xia Temple was burned in a mess, and the Lisi Monument disappeared, which caused many people to lament.

In the twentieth year of Jiaqing, the magistrate Wang of Tai 'an County was a person who liked to write and write. He has long known the preciousness of Li, and he always lamented that he could not see it with his own eyes. After he came to Taian, he made up his mind to find it. So he posted notices everywhere, rewarding those who told him where he was.

Soon, an old man in his nineties, Zhao, came to the county government with the help of his family and said, "My Lord, this magistrate is a mason. When I was repairing the Jade Girl Pool at the top of the mountain, I saw a remnant monument. I wonder if this is what God is looking for. " Laozhaoman told the shape and handwriting of the tablet one by one and said, "I was thrown into the jade girl pool at that time. I hope your Excellency will send someone to check it out."

After hearing Zhao Weng's introduction, magistrate Wang knew that nine times out of ten it was a Lisi monument. Naturally, he was overjoyed and was not afraid of the dangers of high mountains and high roads, so he invited Jiang Yin, a former magistrate of a county, to accompany him up the mountain. Sure enough, I found a remnant tablet from the jade girl pool. After washing, the words "I'm dying, please" are vivid in my mind, and they are really original works of Reese. So he built a house on the top of the mountain and a beautiful pavilion in the west of Dongyue Temple, named "Baosi Pavilion" and later changed it to "Reading Pavilion". When he settled down, he also held a grand ceremony to reward Lao Zhaoman. It has been 75 years since he lost it.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly, and seventeen years have passed in a blink of an eye. In the twelfth year of Daoguang, the west wall of Dongyue Temple collapsed in a rainstorm due to disrepair, which affected the "Reading Monument Pavilion" and the Monument Pavilion collapsed. When Xu Zonggan, the new magistrate of a county, learned about it, he sent someone to look for it from the ruins, moved the monument to the foot of the mountain and placed it between Daimiao Road and the fence of the courtyard.

In the sixteenth year of Guangxu, a thief saw that people regarded this monument as a treasure and wanted it to be worth 1000 yuan, so he stole it on a stormy night. After the incident, Ren County magistrate Mao ordered martial law in the whole city. After ten days, he finally found it under the stone bridge in Beiguan and put it back in the Loan Temple. It can be said that a Millennium inscription can travel all over the world and can be recovered, which is extraordinary.

Now the Lisi tablet is stored in the East Throne of the Lending Temple. Today, we can feast our eyes and witness this monument. It is indeed a great honor to visit Mount Tai, but it is a great pity not to visit it.
