| During the period of the National Government of Nanjing,the social order in North China was relatively stable,and the scenic spots along Jinpu Railway soon became the key tourist destinations recommended by travel agencies.The Mount Tai as the first of the five mountains,naturally is the key to recommend the object.Besides climbing Mount Tai,tourists left a lot of travel notes,which provided rich materials for future generations to understand Mount Tai and Tai’an during the Republic of China.As can be seen from the travel notes,the establishment of Jinan branch of China Travel Service plays a particularly significant role in driving the tourism industry in Tai’an.The publication of Taishan Travel Guide realizes the visualization of tourist activities and provides detailed and practical guidance for tourists.In terms of tourism facilities,compared with the early Republic of China period,Taishan hotel,restaurant,incense inn and other service facilities gradually improved,outperforming Jinan,Qufu and other places in terms of project and experience,and presenting a service concept and management system with modern significance.In terms of transportation,the construction of highway sections in Shandong Province and the operation of Jinpu Railway sightseeing train special line have become an important engine to boost the development of Tai’an tourism.At this time,the development of new publishing and the domestic newspaper boom also provided rich fertile soil for the growth of travel literature.On this basis,Tai’an tourism industry shows a good situation.The travel notes of the Republic of China carefully restore the natural appearance of Mount Tai at that time,showing the interaction between tourists,local people and the landscape.The discussion and doubt of the public on the landscape show the collision and dialogue between history and the present,from which we can see the liberation of Tai’an social ideology.It should be pointed out that in the 1920 s and 1930 s,the academic investigation activities of Mount Tai were flourishing.The travel notes of Mount Tai combined with the geographical analysis with the traditional writing methods of recording landscapes and expressing emotions by borrowing scenery.The survey report restores the geographical features of Mount Tai in the Republic of China,such as climate,meteorology,geological and vegetation.It can be seen that Mount Tai is not only an important tourist destination,but also an object and platform for scientific research.In this natural environment and under the background of The Times,the social and cultural customs are also unique.In the travelogue discourse,the eating habits and folk beliefs of the local people in Tai’an are changeable in the stable continuation,which shows that the social life and spiritual world of the people in Tai’an is gradually moving towards modernization.At this time,the revolutionary stone carvings on Mount Tai and the creation of poems on Mount Tai reflected the strong message of The Times to save the nation and revive the Central Plains.In addition,the poor life of the porters and sedan bearers,the long-term activities of beggars and bandits,exposed the accumulated evils of Tai’an society and the lack of social governance of the local government.In many social phenomena,we can see the subtle relationship between the state and society,as well as the ideological collision and even opposition between tourists and local people.At the same time,the changes in people’s travel concepts,scientific awareness and cultural relic protection awareness also indicate the modernization transformation of Tai’an,a small county.From the perspective of a third party,the travel notes show readers the tourism forms,natural landscapes,social features and times characteristics of Mount Tai and Tai’an during the Republic of China,and reveal the metabolism of Tai’an society under the background of modern social transformation. |
