| Daimiao Temple |
|
Daimiao Temple, or Temple of the God of Mt.Tai, was the place where
emperors of the past dynasties held sacrificial ceremonies to Mount
Tai, built a very long time ago.
After repeated enlargement and reconstruction during the successive
dynasties, it has become a composite of ancient buildings with an
immense scale, covering a total area of 96439 square meters, with
the Hall of Heavenly Blessing as its principal structure. Ancient
cypresses and gingo trees soar to the sky and there is a forest
of stone tablets with inscriptions carved on them during the various
dynasties. The ancient buildings in the temple are specimens of
an architectural art at a very high level and of a unique national
style. |
