الجبال المقدسة للصين

الجبال المقدسة للصين تنقسم إلى عدة مجموعات. الجبال الخمس العظمى (الصينية المبسطة: 五岳؛ الصينية التقليدية: 五嶽؛ پن‌ين: Wǔyuè�) refers to five of the most renowned mountains in Chinese history, and they were the subjects of imperial pilgrimage by emperors throughout ages. They are associated with the supreme God of Heaven and the five main cosmic deities of Chinese traditional religion. The group associated with Buddhism is referred to as the Four Sacred Mountains of Buddhism (四大佛教名山؛ Sì dà fójiào míngshān�), and the group associated with Taoism is referred to as the Four Sacred Mountains of Taoism (四大道教名山؛ Sì dà dàojiào míngshān�).

 الجبال الخمس العظمى

العناصر الخمس، cosmic deities, historical incarnations, chthonic and dragon gods, and planets, associated to the five sacred mountains. This Chinese religious cosmology shows the Yellow Emperor, god of the earth and the year, as the centre of the cosmos, and the four gods of the directions and the seasons as his emanations. The diagram is based on the Huainanzi.

The Five Great Mountains or Wuyue are arranged according to the five cardinal directions of Chinese geomancy, which includes the center as a direction. The grouping of the five mountains appeared during the Warring States period (475 BC – 221 BC), and the term Wuyue ("Five Summits") was made popular during the reign of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty 140-87 BC. In Chinese traditional religion they have cosmological and theological significance as the representation, on the physical plane of earth, of the ordered world emanating from the God of Heaven (Tian–Shangdi), inscribing the Chinese territory as a tán (壇؛ 'altar'�), the Chinese concept equivalent of the Indian mandala.
