It is said that in the old days, people often prayed for gods to help their parents get rid of the disease and sacrifice themselves. In the early years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, he Qiming, governor of Mount Tai, built a wall on the side of the cliff and changed his name to Aishen cliff. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Qifeng in Tai'an rebuilt the wall and sent a watchman to guard it. In 1965, Tai'an County Government opened a round gate at the south end of the wall and built a stone fence along the cliff. Zhanlutai cliff has a huge stone, about 3.3 meters high. Beside the stone, there are three characters of zhanlutai, commonly known as Fangan stone. It is said that during the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, Confucius once visited Lu Tai and looked up at his hometown Qufu. He could see the white horse on the horse stone in front of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang.

legend

The scenic spots of Mount Tai are dazzling. From the magnificence of mountain scenery to architectural modeling, from cliff carving to Buddhism and Taoism culture, from myth and legend to historical change, it can be said that there are countless. Scholar Jin kouyu said that there are many legends about many scenic spots in Mount Tai, and zhanlutai is no exception. Zhanlutai is in the southeast of the top of Mount Tai. Local people call it "sacrifice cliff". 80 kilometers southeast of here is Qufu in Shandong, the hometown of Confucius, the state of Lu. This is the most dangerous place on the southeast side of the top of Mount Tai. On the east side of the platform is a precipice hundreds of meters long. If people fall, they will die.

Legend 1

According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Xu Dehou in Baiyu village in front of the mountain who opened a shop in Taicheng. He met a father and son surnamed he who stayed in. He Fu stayed in the shop for many days and sighed all day. When Dehou asked him, he found out that his father had promised to come here to give up his life to cure his mother's illness, but he was afraid that his mother would not be taken care of after death. So he wanted to replace his son with his father, but he could not bear to push his son down the cliff, and asked Dehou to give up his son for him.

Dehou promised him to take his son out of hiding and tell his father that his son had given up his life. He Fu believed it, so he died in memorial ceremony. He Zi was brought up by Dehou and won the first place in the examination. Dehou arranged for his father and son to recognize each other and tell him the whole story. When father and son met, the newspaperman cried bitterly. When his grandmother died, he arranged for his father and Xu's father to spend their old age together in Mount Tai. The two old people respected each other as if they were brothers.

Later, the three came to Sheshen cliff. He laoweng felt guilty that he had been confused and nearly killed his son. So the name of "Sheshen cliff" was changed to "Aisheng cliff", and later generations carved the word "Ai Yu" on the cliff to show all living beings.

Legend 2

According to old myths and legends, a filial daughter-in-law in a village pitied her husband for the cold bed in winter. She warmed the bed for him every night before he went to the pit, then waited on him to sleep, and then went back to her room to sleep. For a long time, it caused criticism from neighbors, saying that the daughter-in-law was incestuous. In order to prove her innocence, a hundred years later, she climbed to zhanlutai (sacrificial cliff) at the top of Mount Tai and jumped down. A few days later, when people carried her bones home, they found that she was living well in her own home. This seems to prove that the innocent and virtuous people will be blessed by Taishan grandmother (Bixia Yuanjun) and will never die and live forever.

For thousands of years, this myth misled many faithful men and women to jump down from Zhanlu and die!
