The name Daishan has a long history, and there is no question of renaming it. In the "Daishan Town Records" of the Republic of China, it was said: "The island looks at Daiyue (Taishan) in Penglai, hence the name Daishan. (However, some people question this statement. See the attached information. )
Daishan was located in the eastern part of Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to historical records, Xu Fu, an alchemist in the Qin Dynasty, once took 3,000 boys and girls to Penglai Island, one of the "Three Sacred Mountains", which is now Daishan Island.
During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Daishan was named "Penglai Township", so Daishan has been called "Penglai Fairy Island" since ancient times. Li Bai and Luo Yin in the Tang Dynasty, Su Shi and Liu Yong in the Song Dynasty all set sail and set foot in Penglai, leaving precious Mo Bao to Daishan.

Daishan Island, the main island of Daishan County, was recorded as Daishan in the local chronicles of past dynasties, but it was recorded as Daishan in Sung Hoon's Wutai Mountain Towering Terrace. In the "Daishan Town Records" of the Republic of China, it was said: "The island looks at Daiyue (Taishan) in Penglai, hence the name Daishan.
This explanation is widely accepted and publicized in the local area because of Penglai and Taishan, two famous mountains. On closer examination, this explanation is also worthy of scrutiny: from the origin, Penglai is one of the three sacred mountains on the sea in ancient legend, which is not necessarily related to Mount Tai, so there is no need to beautify Penglai with Mount Tai; In terms of location, Daishan is in the middle of Penglai Township and logically has nothing to do with "Dongyue". From the island landform, the highest peak of Daishan Mountain is only 257 meters above sea level, which is not majestic and steep, not to mention slightly lower than Mount Tai with an altitude of 1.545 meters, and even lower than the highest peak of Zhoushan Islands with an altitude of 540 meters by less than 1/2. Mr. Chen Qiaoyi said, "As a foreigner, there is a language barrier, and this possibility certainly exists.
