[quote=FAERIEQUEENE,245078]May, wiki classified the Five Mountains 五岳 as the five Taoist Mountains, not four, and they are associated with the Pangu legend you told us last time: "According to Chinese mythology, the Five Great Mountains originated from the limbs and the head of Pangu (盤古/盘古 Pángǔ), the first being and creator of the world. Because of its eastern location, Mount Tài is associated with the rising sun which signifies birth and renewal. Due to this interpretation, it is often regarded as the most sacred of the Five Great Mountains. In accordance with its special position, Mount Tài is believed to have been formed out of Pangu's head." (wiki) I still do not have an idea why the other 4 mountains are holy.[/quote]
