To the north of the Yitian Gate of Mt. Tai stands a stone memorial archway with an inscription reading the "Site Where Confucius Started Climbing the Mountain." The memorial archway was constructed in 1560 (the 39th year of the Jiajing reign period of the Ming Dynasty) to commemorate a well-known saying by Confucius: "At the top of Mt. Tai, the world looks small."
