Nomads on Pilgrimage: Mongols on Wutaishan is a social history of the Mongols’ pilgrimages to one of the main Buddhist mountain of China in late imperial and Republican times (1800-1940).
Nomads on Pilgrimage: Mongols on Wutaishan (China), 1800-1940 is a social history of the Mongols’ pilgrimages to Wutaishan in late imperial and Republican times. In this period of economic crisis and rise of nationalism and anticlericalism in Mongolia and China, this great Buddhist mountain of China became a unique place of intercultural exchanges, mutual borrowings, and competition between different ethnic groups. Based on a variety of written and visual sources, including a rich corpus of more than 340 Mongolian stone inscriptions, it documents why and how Wutaishan became one of the holiest sites for Mongols, who eventually reshaped its physical and spiritual landscape by their rites and strategies of appropriation.

Isabelle Charleux, Ph.D., is senior researcher at the National Centre for Scientific Research, France. She authored books, scholarly articles and catalogues on Mongol material culture, including Temples et monastères de Mongolie-Intérieure (Paris, 2006) and is director of the publication “Nord-Asie.”
