The spatial pattern of the integration of the ancient platform city and the mountain city has just created a triple space, which coincides with the system of heaven, man and earth. Does Mount Tai go from the east to the foot of Dai Lu? Humans? , the whole city to Tian Tong Street? Dai Miao? Daizongfang archway is a central axis, which is one of the main lines connecting people, immortals and ghosts. Dai Zongfang arched to Mount Tai and went to the door first. Why? Paradise on earth?

There is a hill named Li Haoshan in the southwest of Taicheng. In the traditional culture of China, the underworld has two places, one is in Du Feng (now Fengdu, Chongqing) and the other is in Li Hao, Tai 'an, namely? The soul of the world belongs to mugwort? 、? Gather souls, no virtue and no stupidity? In other words, regardless of status, the souls after death gather in Li Haoshan. The person who manages these souls is Taifu Shanjun, that is, Emperor Dongyue of The Journey to the West in the 37th time? The Ghost King visited Tang Sanzang at night, and Wukong deified the baby?
