Five Great Mountains

In the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907) there arose a variety of talisman-scriptures. These charts show symbols of the Five Great Mountains in some significant arrangement, in the five directions or as a kind of map of China or the human internal ‘qi-arrangement’. These were used in Daoist meditations, visualizing the set as a kind of cosmic mandala, for illustrating certain philosophical doctrines, or for inner-alchemy.
