North China has well-exposed sedimentary deposits of this time period with minimal postdepositional alteration. Sedimentary evidence of a glacia- tion event has been lacking, however. Here we analyzed carbon isotope composition of the Paleoproterozoic Hutuo Group (2.5– 2.2 Ga) in the Wutai Mountain area, Shanxi Province, North China. Our data show, in an older to younger chronostratigraphic 13 order, (1) positive δ Ccarb values in the Dashiling Formation of the Doucun Subgroup (3.2‰ to 1.0‰, VPDB); (2) a decrease in 13 δ Ccarb values from the Wenshan Formation to the middle Daguandong Formation (from 2.0‰ to −1.2‰), during which time the occurrence of stromatolites declined; (3) a pronounced negative excursion in the upper Daguandong Formation, at the boundary of the Daguandong and Huaiyincun formations (from 1.4‰ to −3.3‰), where stromatolites disappeared; and (4) a gradual increase 13 of δ Ccarb values in the Beidaxing and Tianpengnao formations (from −1.2‰ to 1.4‰), during which time stromatolites returned.

  • Mount Wutai Visions of a Sacred Buddhist
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction Traveling around the Buddhist sacred range of Mount Wutai 五臺山 in northern detail of fi g. 0.6 China in 2005 (fi g. 0.1), I used as my guide a scaled-down photocopy of a map from a museum in Helsinki (see fi g. 4.1).1 Th e map, a hand-colored print from a woodblock panel carved in 1846 by a Mongol lama residing at Mount Wutai’s Cifu Temple 慈福寺 (Benevolent Virtues Temple), is a panorama of some 150 sites in a mountain range fi lled with pilgrims, festivities, fl ora and fauna, and cloud-borne deities, accompanied by parallel inscriptions in Mongolian, Chinese, and Tibetan. Th e map led me not only to monasteries, villages, and other landmarks but also into lively conversations with groups of Tibetan monks traveling or residing on the mountain. Without fail, the monks’ eyes lit up when they saw the map. Despite never having seen the image before, they expressed reverence, delight, and the resolve to scrutinize its every detail (fi g. 0.2). It was clear they recognized in the map a kindred vision of the mountain as an important place for Tibetan Buddhism. Although this vision had been physically erased from the mountain itself after more than a century, the map pictorialized and materialized what the monks had learned through a rich textual and oral tradition that had attracted them to Mount Wutai in the fi rst place.

Foguangsi on Mount Wutai: Architecture of Politics and Religion Abstract Foguangsi (Monastery of Buddha’s Radiance) is a monastic complex that stands on a high terrace on a mountainside, in the southern ranges of Mount Wutai, located in present-day Shanxi province. The mountain range of Wutai has long been regarded as the sacred abode of the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī and a prominent center of the Avataṃsaka School. Among the monasteries that have dotted its landscape, Foguangsi is arguably one of the best-known sites that were frequented by pilgrims. The er discovery of Foguangsi by modern scholars in the early 20th century has been considered a “crowning moment in the modern search for China’s ancient architecture”. Most notably, the Buddha Hall, which was erected in the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE), was seen as the ideal of a “vigorous style” of its time, and an embodiment of an architectural achievement at the peak of Chinese civilization.

Antiquity Or Innovation? Architecture, Sculptures And Murals In Southern Shanxi Under The Yuan Dynasty Abstract The dissertation analyzes the different forms of art - architecture, murals and sculptures - produced in Southern Shanxi from the beginning of the fourteenth century to the early of Ming. The dissertation starts with a case study on the history of Guangshengsi, one of the most prestigious Buddhist monasteries in the region, and one of the best-preserved Yuan architectural complexes of all China. It then examines the extant Yuan architecture of Southern Shanxi, most of which were constructed in two types of structures, diantang and tingtang. It was the tingtang structure that gained increasingly popularity in the first half of the fourteenth century. Surviving Yuan buildings in Southern Shanxi belonged to religious institutions of various kinds, Buddhist and Daoist monasteries, temples and shrines of local beliefs. In many cases, these buildings were decorated with murals and contained religious images in various forms. Unfortunately, because of their high artistic achievements and with few exceptions, murals and sculptures were either lost or found their way to the collections of private collectors and museums.

  • Buddhist Revival in China: Values of the Development of Mount Wutai By
    Buddhist Revival in China: Values of the Development of Mount Wutai by Chunyu Zhang A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology Department of Anthropology University of Alberta © Chunyu Zhang, 2016 Abstract In China, the Chinese Communist Party (中國共產黨 CCP) has created a complicated administrative system to control religion. The CCP severely regulated and almost eradicated a number of religious groups during the Cultural Revolution (文化大革命). In the early 1980s, however, religion was allowed to slowly revive under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping (鄧小平). The CCP adopted a series of moderate policies on religious affairs and began to exploit the secular values of religion, including Buddhism and Buddhist sacred sites, to serve the Party-state. This thesis explores the Chinese government’s approach to the management of religion through the case of Mount Wutai (五臺山), a traditional Buddhist sacred mountain in China. Historically Mont Wutai was an important site for Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhists. Today the Buddhist monasteries are the site of active religious communities, but Mount Wutai also is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a destination for tourists. The thesis explores the ways that Mount Wutai has developed since 1980s under the influence of both Buddhist revivalism and politically-motivated secularization.1 The thesis demonstrates that the political environment has changed precisely because the government now recognizes Mount Wutai’s secular values, and investigates the development of Mount Wutai in light of its economic and political values to the government, the local community, and the local Buddhist community.

    ‘Ambiguous sanctuaries’ are places in which the sacred is shared. These exist in almost all religions: tombs of saints, mausoleums, monasteries and shrines, a & Zarcone Hobart revered mountain peak, a majestic tree, a cave or special boulders in the river. This book examines this phenomenon in diverse parts of the world: in Europe, Pilgrimage and Ambiguity the Middle East, Asia and Brazil. What these ritual spaces share is the capacity to unsettle and challenge people’s experiences and understandings of reality, as well as to provoke the imagination, allowing universes of meanings to be interlinked. Sharing the Sacred The spaces discussed reveal the many different ways the sacred can be shared. Different groups may once have visited sites that are nowadays linked to only one religion. The legacy of earlier religious movements is subtly echoed in the devotional forms, rituals, symbols or narratives (hagiographies) of the present, and the architectural settings in which they take place. In some pilgrimage sites, peoples of different faiths visit and take part in devotional acts and rituals – such as processing, offering candles, incenses and flowers – that are shared. The saints to whom a shrine is dedicated can also have a double identity. Such ambiguity has often been viewed through the lens of religious purity, and the exclusivity of orthodoxy, as confusion, showing a lack Pilgrimage and Ambiguity Pilgrimage of coherence and authenticity. But the openness to interpretation of sacred spaces in this collection suggests a more positive analysis: that it may be through ambiguity transcending narrow confines that pilgrims experience the sanctity and power they seek.

  • The Cult of Boudhanath Stupa/Jarung Khashar Suvraga in Mongolia: Texts, Images, and Architectural Replicas
    The Cult of Boudhanath Stupa/Jarung Khashar Suvraga in Mongolia: Texts, Images, and Architectural Replicas Isabelle Charleux, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (GSRL- EPHE-PSL) Charleux, Isabelle. 2019. “The Cult of Boudhanath Stupa/Jarung Khashar Suvraga in Mongolia: Texts, Images, and Architectural Replicas.” Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review 31: 82–125. https://cross-currents.berkeley.edu/e-journal/issue-31/charleux. Abstract The cult of the Nepalese stupa of Boudhanath (Tib. Jarung khashor/Bya rung kha shor, Mo. Jarung khashar) was very popular in nineteenth- and early twentieth- century Mongolia, especially in Buryatia. Testaments to its popularity include the translation into Mongolian of a famous Tibetan guidebook to Boudhanath, a corpus of Mongolian oral narratives, the many thangkas and amulets depicting Boudhanath stupa along with a Tibetan prayer, and the existence of architectural replicas in Mongolia, probably to create surrogate pilgrimages to Boudhanath. How was Nepalese architecture transmitted to Mongolia? This article focuses on these architectural replicas in an attempt to understand whether the differences between the “original” structure and the Mongol replicas are due to local techniques and materials, the impossibility of studying the original, or distortions induced by the mode of transmission. Has the original building been reinterpreted to the point of transforming its meaning, and were the architectural replicas accompanied by the cult practices associated with it? Keywords: Buddhist architecture, Buddhist art, stupa, Bodnāth, Boudhanath, Nepal, Mongolia, replication of sacred architecture, pilgrimage A contemporary Mongol story relates that in ancient India, a blue elephant had exhausted itself in the construction of a giant stupa named “Jarung khashar.”1 When the stupa was completed, the great lama who consecrated it thanked everyone but forgot to thank the elephant.

  • OVERSEAS TOUR Shanxi Trip
    OVERSEAS TOUR Shanxi Trip: Datong, Wutaishan (Mt Wutai), Pingyao, Taiyuan 16-21 September 2016 Shanxi Province is a cradle of Chinese civilization and culture. Our visit will be a natural follow-on to those who joined our Silk Road tour in July 2015. But for those who may not yet have visited the Silk Road, Shanxi provides a splendid introduction to Chinese history and heritage. Shanxi is not only steeped in history but many of its walled settlements and temples, its architectural features and cave sculptures remain in remarkably good condition. It also enjoys much attractive scenery. Datong in the north of the Province was once capital in the Northern Wei period and just outside it we shall be visiting the impressive Liao dynasty Huayan Temple with its fine deva statues. Nearby the magnificent wooden bracketed Shanhua temple buildings house fine carvings of the Buddha and of celestial generals. The Yungang grottoes contain superb Buddhist cave statues and art dating from the Northern Wei (386 to 534 AD). Supported precariously against a near vertical cliff the Hanging Monastery seems an improbable structure to stand the test of time but it houses many fine ancient carvings of Buddhas. The Yingxian wooden pagoda was constructed in the Liao dynasty over 900 years ago. The nine storey pagoda is 67 m high. Mt. Wutai is one of the “Four Sacred Buddhism Mountains” in China. (The other three are Mt. Emei in Sichuan Province, Mt. Putuoshan in Zhejiang Province and Mt. Jiuhua in Anhui Province). The peaks of this mountain rise to over 3,000 metres.
