At the intersection of art and religious history this work suggests a fresh method for studying Chinese gods and sacred places. Susan Naquin tells the full story of the transformations of the Lady of Mount Tai North China s most important female deity and her mountain home. This generously illustrated visual history presents a rich array of overlooked statues prints murals and paintings of gods that were discovered in museums auctions and extensive travel. By focusing on ordinary images temples and region-based materiality Naquin demonstrates how this flexibly gendered new god flourished while her male predecessor was neglected. Both suffered greatly during the last century but Mount Tai continues to be a culturally significant monument and China s most popular tourist mountain.
