Throughout Chinese history, mountains have been integral components
of the religious landscape. They have been considered divine or
numinous sites, the abodes of deities, the preferred locations for
temples and monasteries, and destinations for pilgrims. Early in
Chinese history a set of five mountains were co-opted into the
imperial cult and declared sacred peaks, yue, demarcating and
protecting the boundaries of the Chinese imperium. The Southern
Sacred Peak, or Nanyue, is of interest to scholars not the least
because the title has been awarded to several different mountains
over the years. The dynamic nature of Nanyue raises a significant
theoretical issue of the mobility of sacred space and the nature of
the struggles involved in such moves. Another facet of Nanyue is
the multiple meanings assigned to this place, political, religious,
and cultural. Of particular interest is the negotiation of this
space by Daoists and Buddhists. The history of their interaction
leads to questions about the nature of the divisions between these
two religious traditions. James Robson's analysis of these topics
demonstrates the value of local studies and the emerging field of
Buddho-Daoist studies in research on Chinese religion.
