Power of Place - The Religious Landscape of the Southern Sacred Peak (Nanyue ??) in Medieval China

Info autore

James Robson is Associate Professor of Chinese Religion at Harvard University.

Riassunto

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.
