Power of Place: The Religious Landscape of the Southern Sacred Peak (Nanyue ??) in Medieval China - Harvard East Asian Monographs
James Robson
Mountains have always been integral components of China’s religious landscape. Early in Chinese history five mountains were co-opted into the imperial cult and declared sacred peaks—yue—demarcating and protecting the imperium’s boundaries. Here, Robson demonstrates the value of local and Buddho-Daoist studies in research on Chinese religion.
