Dai Miao is probably important enough to warrant its own article. I've never been, nor have I really read much on it. Somebody with a knowledge of the temple should remove the redirects and write it (then link to it from this article). Bobak 02:22, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi there.
I've just noticed that virtually all of the content on this page is directly lifted from http://www.mount-tai.com.cn/en/index.html
In the page's history, the major change is from this version: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Mount_Tai&oldid=11921363 to this version: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Mount_Tai&direction=next&oldid=11921363
The editor (username=RolfMueller) labels this edit a "complete re-write." Is there any way to verify the veracity of this claim? How can we know if mount-tai.com plagiarized wikipedia or vice-versa?
Not sure what to do about this.

Part of the article says
"泰山北斗" (lit. Mount Tai & Northern Fight)
I don't think the translation is accurate. I think the "北斗" ("Bei Dou") refers to the northern star 北斗星 ( http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8C%97%E6%96%97%E6%98%9F). The entire expression refers to the steadfast unchanging nature of Mount Tai and the Northern Star (cf. Shakespeare: "constant as the northern star") and is used to describe leaders of the community, role models, large historical organizations such as the Shaolin monks, etc.
I note that 斗 "dou" also happens to be the Simplified Chinese word for 鬥 "dou", which means fight, but I don't think it's used in this context. It's less confusing in Chinese writing that uses the Traditional writing, where "tai shan bei dou" is still written 泰山北斗, using the 斗 even though 鬥 is a valid word. In this case it literally means a sort of measuring cup, i.e. "northern scoop" (as in the constellation, Big Dipper). In fact, in Cantonese 斗 is pronounced differently from 鬥, and I have yet to hear any Cantonese speaker say 泰山北鬥.
Can anyone confirm or refute this? Wiki88V ( talk) 20:42, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
One of the Hui Muslim General Ma Fuxiang's works in Chinese calligraphy was auctioned at Christies, a rending of the Chinese character for "Tiger". The Lot Notes states that Mount Tai's Jade Emperor Peak also has one of his calligraphic works located there.

I have some beautiful original pictures that I took of Mount Tai when I lived out there in China around 2015 learning kung fu. I would be happy to contribute them to Wikipedia, they are of excellent quality. If anyone can provide some guidance on how to properly suggest additional images be added (specifically, of the sunrise and the surrounding peaks that poke out above the clouds, and more pictures of the hike up) I would love to add them. My sincerest gratitude to you all for producing such a high-quality article about this beautiful and sacred place.
Edit: I actually figured out how to upload files, just would like to learn the proper method for suggesting their inclusion in the article.

Did there used to be a section introducing and explaining the term, or...??? As it stands now, the article is completely baffling on this point. 2001:569:BE5C:CC00:F2DE:F1FF:FE2F:EBFC ( talk) 07:27, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
