Dai Temple is the best preserved and largest ancient architectural complex in Mount Tai. Named for offering sacrifices to "Dongyue Taishan God", it is a group of palace-style ancient buildings located at the foot of Mount Tai. Construction began in the Qin and Han Dynasties. "One domain of Qin Wei" and "The Han Dynasty also rose to the palace" were constantly improved in the Tang, Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was a place where emperors closed their doors to Zen rites.
It is the place where emperors of past dynasties held ceremonies to accept Zen and worship Mount Tai. Founded in the Han Dynasty, it was brilliant in the Tang Dynasty. In Song Zhenzong, when a large-scale meditation ceremony was held, it was expanded and the Tiangong was built, which was more extensive. Its architectural style adopts the style of the Royal Miyagi. The main building of Dai Temple is Tianzhu Hall, which is the shrine of Dongyue Emperor. There is a carved stone on Mount Tai in the Qin Temple, which is engraved with Li Si's seal script. Dai Temple, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Three Holes in Qufu, Shandong, and chengde mountain resort Waiba Temple are also called the four ancient buildings in China.
Historical evolution of Dai temples
Dai Temple, which was built in the Han Dynasty, is the ancestral home of Mount Tai belief, bearing the name of "Qin Wei territory" and "Han is the palace". During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (before 140- 87), Taishan Temple (also called Daizong Temple, later called Dongyue Temple, the predecessor of Daimiao) was built in Bobo County.
In April (BC 109), I came from Liang Wudi to visit Mount Tai. Thousands of cypress trees have been planted in Taishan Temple, which is the origin of Han cypress in Daimiao Temple. In the 13th year of Jianwu of the late Zhao Dynasty (347), the late Zhao Yonggui presented a golden horse to Taishan Temple, which was more than two feet high and beautifully shaped, and was enshrined in the artifact library in the temple.
