The "Fengshan Sacrifices" developed into a solemn ceremony during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) and evolved into regular activities held by both officials and common people to pay homage to the God and Goddess of Mount Tai after the Song Dynasty (960-1279) took power.

Nowadays it is included in the Shandong provincial intangible cultural heritage list and has developed into a culture-oriented ceremony on Mount Tai. Through its 200 live performances each year, it has spurred the popularity of Mount Tai and its unique culture.
