Sima Qian and "heavier than Mount Tai, lighter than a feather"
Sima Qian, the famous historian, thinker and writer of the Western Han Dynasty, is well known for his admiration for Mount Tai.
In the first year of Yuanfeng of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made his first Zen visit to Mount Tai, and Sima Qian's father, as a historian, should have come to Mount Tai for the Zen visit, but he stayed in Luoyang for some reason. He regarded his participation in Zen as one of the major events in his political life: not being able to travel east to participate in the Zen ceremony made him unusually regretful and disappointed, and he finally became bedridden with worry and illness. At that time, Sima Qian returned from his travels and met his father, so he shook Sima Qian's hand and said with tears in his eyes, "Our ancestors were officials of the Zhou Dynasty, and our distant ancestor also made great achievements in the Xia Dynasty, and was the head of the hundred officials, but the later generations are gradually weakening, is the sky going to exterminate me? If you can succeed to the post of Taishi, then you can inherit your ancestor's business. Now the Emperor of the Han Dynasty inherits the great lineage of thousands of years of sealing Zen on Mount Tai, and sealing Zen on Mount Tai, while I can't go along with it, this is the destiny of ah! After my death, you will surely succeed to the office of Taishi, and when you become Taishi do not forget the will to write books and make speeches that I desire."
Sima Qian realized from his father's words how important it was for him to attend the ceremony to honor his ancestors. Sima Qian did not disappoint his father's wish, even after being tortured in the palace, he was still determined to endure the humiliation to complete his father's unfinished business. In his "Reporting Ren An's Book" to his friend Ren An, he expressed his agonizing feelings after the torture and mentioned his intention to write the "Records of the Grand Historian" and his determination to complete it. Right in the middle of this famous epistle, Sima Qian incorporated Tarzan into the ancient saying, "There is a death in human beings, either heavier than Tarzan or lighter than a feather." Visible, in Sima Qian's mind, Mount Tai is a solemn, majestic, majestic and relatable symbol.

Legend, in a very long time ago, the world into the first, the world has just divided, there is a man called Pangu grew between heaven and earth,
Sky daily rise of a zhang, the earth daily thick a zhang, Pangu also daily growth of a zhang. So day after day, year after year, he lived like this on top of the sky. After a long 18,000 years, the sky is very high, the earth is very thick, Pangu also grew very high, he breathed the gas into the wind, he breathed the sound of thunder, his eyes blinking, blinking, flashing out the blue light, which is the lightning, he was happy when the sky became bright sunshine and sunny, he was angry when the sky became cloudy and rainy. Then Pangu slowly aged, and finally overflowed and died. In a flash the giant fell to the ground, his head became Dongyue, his belly became Zhongyue, his left arm became Nanyue, his right arm became Beiyue, his two feet became Xiyue, his eyes became the sun and the moon, his hair became grass and trees, and his fat became rivers.
Because Pangu opened up the sky and earth, creating the world, and the descendants honored him as the ancestor of mankind, and his head became the Taishan Mountain, so Taishan is known as the supreme "world's first mountain", became the first of the five mountains.
