Abstract

Mount Tai, as a famous mountain in China, has not only geographical and material significance. With its own characteristics, it guides people's spirit, arouses people's imagination and resonance. Mountains are inanimate, but they have some kind of spiritual symbol in people's hearts. Such a spiritual symbol not only affects the whole nation, but also affects our neighbors and even other countries in the world. This paper is based on the classical literature of neighboring Japan, looking for the records of Chinese and Japanese visitors in Japanese literature, as well as Japanese scholars' understanding of Mount Tai as a cultural space.
