A Study on the Landscape Elements and Distribution Characteristics of Mount Tai Appearing in Poems

Mount Tai's landscape elements, particularly 'sunrise,' 'cyan,' 'towering,' and 'majestic,' along with the symbol of the 'Divine Dragon,' are found to embody cultural significance representing hope, vitality, and national stability. Unlike previous research focusing on natural landscapes, Mount Tai is characterized by human activities. The study also reveals a shift in landscape elements from belief-based in Pre-Qin, Sui, and Tang dynasties to experience-based in modern times, marked by actions like climbing and looking into the distance. Spatial distribution analysis shows a transition from a widely scattered distribution centered around Daiding to a narrow linear distribution focused on Mount Tai's summit, providing key insights for future landscape protection and restoration efforts.
