Who does it matter if you don't know Mount Tai?

The allusion of the idiom "Ignorance of Mount Tai" is related to Lu Ban.

Mount Tai was a famous carpenter in China during the Spring and Autumn Period. He once recruited many apprentices, including a young man named Taishan, who seemed to have average skills and made little progress. For the sake of his reputation and signboard, Lu Ban resolutely resigned from Mount Tai.

A few years later, once Lu Ban took his apprentice to the market and suddenly found many well-made bamboo furniture on the booth. Only after asking can you know that this is exactly what his apprentice Taishan did. Lu Ban remembered his mistake in resigning from Mount Tai and regretted it. He sighed, "alas! I really don't know Mount Tai. "

With the development of history, the deeds of Lu Ban and Mount Tai have been summarized into an idiom and allusion. Therefore, "blind to Mount Tai" does not mean that a person is ignorant, but is blinded by some subjective ideas, so that he does not know the superior person in front of him.

Mount Tai:

Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as a paradise "directly to the throne" and became a sacred mountain worshipped by the people and emperors. There is a saying that "Mount Tai is safe and the world is safe". From Qin Shihuang to Qing Dynasty, 13 emperors went to Mount Tai for meditation or sacrifice, and 24 emperors sent officials to sacrifice 72 times. There are more than 20 ancient buildings and more than 2,200 stone tablets on the mountain.

Due to its lofty position in the mountains of China, Mount Tai has evolved into a person with superb skills or respected status.
