Mount Tai is a mountain of historical and cultural significance located in Shandong province, China. Mount Tai is of key importance in Chinese religion, being the eastern one of the five Sacred Mountains of China. According to historical records, Mount Tai became a sacred place visited by emperors to offer sacrifices and meditate in the Zhou Dynasty before 1,000 BC. A total of 72 emperors were recorded as visiting it. Writers also came to acquire inspiration, to compose poems, write essays, paint and take pictures. Hence, a great many cultural relics were left on the mountain. During the reign of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of Han, the Emperor has visited Mount Tai 8 times, praising the deities associated to this mountain. In 90 BC, the elderly aged Emperor spent most of the national strength on military operations, and his crown prince died because of his paranoia, leaving the court and the royal family in a mess. Liu Guang, the King Lu’an and nephew of the Emperor, was incurably sick. He decided to allocate the administration of Mount Tai to his sons, hoping to train their abilities of governing.
