abstract
| - The Sacred Mountains of China are divided into two groups, one associated with Taoism and the other with Buddhism. The group associated with Taoism is known as the Five Great Mountains (simplified Chinese: 五岳 traditional Chinese: 五嶽 ||pinyin]]: Wǔyuè), whereas the group associated with Buddhism is referred to as the Four Sacred Mountains of Buddhism (Chinese: 四大佛教名山 ||pinyin]]: Sìdà Fójiào Míngshān). The sacred mountains of both groups have been important destinations for pilgrimage, the Chinese expression for pilgrimage (simplified Chinese: 朝圣 traditional Chinese: 朝聖 ||pinyin]]: cháoshèng) is a shortened version of an expression which means literally "paying respect to a holy mountain" (simplified Chinese: 朝拜圣山 traditional Chinese: 朝拜聖山 ||pinyin]]: cháobài shèng shān).
