View of Taihuai in Wutai Shan from Dailuo Ding Temple
This is the view of the town of Taihuai from Dailuo Ding Temple. (other names are Daluo Ding or Qingfeng). The temple is on the east side of Taihuai. Dailuo Ding is the name of the peak the temple is constructed on.
The temple was named as the Foding Nunnery at the beginning. It was built in the years of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1465-1487) and had been reconstructed in the years of Wanli in Ming Dynasty. It was renamed Dailuo Ding in the 51st year of Qianlong (1786).
It is said that Emperor Qianlong intended to prostrate himself before the statues of Wenshu (Manjushri) on the five peaks, but he was prevented by wind and rain several times. He told the monk Qingyuan; I want to prostrate before the statues of Wenshu on the five peaks next time when I come here in five years. Arrange it for me!. The monk got the idea in the fifth year to cast statues according to the images on the five peaks and put them in the hall, so the hall is called Wu Wenshu Dian Hall. The emperor prostrated before the images in the third lunar month of the 51st year of Qianlong (1786).
Making pilgrimage to the five peaks is called the Great Pilgrimage (and is done via bus in one day from Taihuai). Whereas making pilgrimage here is called the Minor Pilgrimage.

SUMMARY
=======
The Jin dynasty or the Jin Empire (; Chinese: 晉朝; pinyin: Jìn Cháo, sometimes distinguished as the Sima Jin (司马晋) or Liang Jin) (两晋, Two Jins) was a Chinese dynasty traditionally dated from 266 to 420. It was founded by Sima Yan, son of Sima Zhao, who was made Prince of Jin and posthumously declared the founder of the dynasty. It followed the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD), which ended with the conquest of Eastern Wu by the Jin.
There are two main divisions in the history of the dynasty. The Western Jin (266–316) was established as a successor state to Cao Wei after Sima Yan usurped the throne, and had its capital at Luoyang or Chang'an (modern Xi'an); Western Jin reunited China in 280, but fairly shortly thereafter fell into a succession crisis, civil war, and invasion by the Five Barbarians (Wu Hu). The rebels and invaders began to establish new self-proclaimed states in the Yellow River valley in 304, inaugurating the Sixteen Kingdoms era. These states immediately began fighting each other and the Jin Empire, leading to the second division of the dynasty, the Eastern Jin (317–420) when Sima Rui moved the capital to Jiankang (modern Nanjing). The Eastern Jin dynasty was eventually overthrown by the Liu Song.

SUMMARY
=======
Shandong (山东; formerly romanised as Shantung) is a coastal province of the People's Republic of China, and is part of the East China region.
Shandong has played a major role in Chinese history from the beginning of Chinese civilization along the lower reaches of the Yellow River and served as a pivotal cultural and religious site for Taoism, Chinese Buddhism, and Confucianism. Shandong's Mount Tai is the most revered mountain of Taoism and one of the world's sites with the longest history of continuous religious worship. The Buddhist temples in the mountains to the south of the provincial capital of Jinan were once among the foremost Buddhist sites in China. The city of Qufu is the birthplace of Confucius, and was later established as the center of Confucianism.
Shandong's location at the intersection of ancient as well as modern north–south and east–west trading routes have helped to establish it as an economic center. After a period of political instability and economic hardship that began in the late 19th century, Shandong has emerged as one of the most populous (95,793,065 inhabitants at the 2010 Census) and most affluent provinces in the People's Republic of China with a GDP of CNY¥5.942 trillion in 2014, or USD$967 billion, making it China's third wealthiest province.
