by Zhao Wei
About This Novel
"Research on the Genealogy of Images of the Five Mountains Gods in Taoist Mural Paintings" has three chapters. Among them, the first chapter mainly discusses the time when the term "Five Mountains" was formed and the situation of mountain murals from the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, as well as an inspection list of the existing images of the Five Mountains in temple murals. The second chapter is an examination of the status and karma of the gods in the Five Mountains murals in specific temples, in an attempt to establish a "small genealogy" of the images of the Five Mountains gods. The third chapter further elaborates on the basis of the second chapter. By summarizing and sorting out the deities in the Five Mountains murals, it establishes the image lineage of the Five Mountains gods in Taoist murals, which is mainly composed of the Taoist dynasty system, the national mountain temple sacrificial system, and the folk mountain temple sacrificial system. By analyzing the relationship between the three lineages, it finally outlines the five mountain god lineage in Taoist murals, which consists of the Five Mountains God, the Yu Sacrifice God, the Direction God, the Timing God, and the God of Protection and Punishment.
