Nomads on Pilgrimage: Mongols on Wutaishan (China), 1800-1940 is a
social history of the Mongols' pilgrimages to Wutaishan in late
imperial and Republican times. In this period of economic crisis
and rise of nationalism and anticlericalism in Mongolia and China,
this great Buddhist mountain of China became a unique place of
intercultural exchanges, mutual borrowings, and competition between
different ethnic groups. Based on a variety of written and visual
sources, including a rich corpus of more than 340 Mongolian stone
inscriptions, it documents why and how Wutaishan became one of the
holiest sites for Mongols, who eventually reshaped its physical and
spiritual landscape by their rites and strategies of appropriation.
