Belief in the symbolic and lucky properties of numbers is deep-rooted in Chinese culture, particularly the number 5, as seen in the Five Elements, the Five Colors, the Five Tastes and the Five Cardinal Virtues. These beliefs pre-date Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and in this illustrated book which combines travel, history, myth and mysticism, Geil uses the symbolism of the number 5 to unravel the early history of one of China's most famous sites -- Tai Shan, the sacred mountain of China -- allowing us to understand why it is so important to the Chinese.
