Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pittsburgh, 1998.

Mount Tai, a center for popular religion and imperial ritual, has long been sacred to Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. Linked to China's omnipresent driving force, filial piety, Mount Tai has been a magnet for the socio-religious energies of Chinese from all walks of life, including women, men, literati, villagers, religious leaders, lay believers, local officials and emperors. By the eighteenth century throngs of worshipers and visitors orchestrated spatial and ritual competitions upon, within and against the sacred geography of Mount Tai. I study how each group appropriated, interpreted or re-created site or myth, and the contentions and unities produced, to understand how Qing society (1644-1911)operated.

520 $a Mount Tai, a center for popular religion and imperial ritual, has long been sacred to Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. Linked to China's omnipresent driving force, filial piety, Mount Tai has been a magnet for the socio-religious energies of Chinese from all walks of life, including women, men, literati, villagers, religious leaders, lay believers, local officials and emperors. By the eighteenth century throngs of worshipers and visitors orchestrated spatial and ritual competitions upon, within and against the sacred geography of Mount Tai. I study how each group appropriated, interpreted or re-created site or myth, and the contentions and unities produced, to understand how Qing society (1644-1911)operated.
520 $a I use sources and methods from history, religious studies, anthropology, art history, folklore studies and geography, and include some anthropological fieldwork. The Qing dynasty, particularly the "long" eighteenth century (1680-1820), affords me the broadest range of pilgrims and extensive pilgrimage records. Worship of the Goddess of Mount Tai (the most popular deity at Mount Tai in the late imperial period) was particularly vigorous in the eighteenth century, when emperors personally visited Mount Tai. My study is the first to trace the Qing social landscape of Mount Tai, examining mentalities of women and illiterate pilgrims, as well as literati, and to combine fiction, poetry, travelogues and official records along with material culture and anthropological study.
520 $a Despite the many differences, pilgrims had common practices. Filial piety, nature worship, reverence for writing and the importance of rituals were among the elements that held eighteenth century Chinese society together. Beyond Chinese Studies, my multi-disciplinary focus on a site attracting a cross-section of society, to analyze how a culture operated, is transferable to other regions and periods.
520 $a In Part One, I place Mount Tai in historical and cultural context. In addition to sites, legends and history, I explore various deities' roles. In Part Two, I focus on eighteenth-century pilgrims, in sections on women, men, and the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors. In Part Three, I analyze competitions between groups and institutions, providing general conclusions and analysis of twentieth century governmental attempts to re-appropriate this sacred site.
