Mount Tai is the head of the Five Mountains. Tai’an, located at the foot of the mountain, is named after it, which is said to have existed in ancient times. Since the Dai Temple (Temple of Mount Tai) was first built in the Han Dynasty, countless monarchs have come to worship the mountain gods and hold ceremonies, and Tai’an has gradually become the gateway to the guardianship of Mount Tai.
