Abstract
Mount Taishan is located near the city of Tai'an, in the center of Shandong Province. It was included in the territory of the States Qi and Lu in the Spring and Autumn Periods of ancient China. Towering at the edge of the North China Plain, the sacred Mount Taishan was one of the principal places where for over 2,000 years the emperors paid homage to heaven. The artistic masterpieces contained within the area are in perfect harmony with the natural landscape.
