ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1163/15685322-10634P03 | Abstract: | This article demonstrates the central position that Daoists occupied in the representations of state power in north China under Mongol rule. In the mid-thirteenth century, Daoist Master Jiang Shanxin and his disciples, under Khubilai Khan's patronage, actively rebuilt several temples of Confucian sage-kings in southern Shanxi province. Jiang Shanxin's lineage was a product of dynamic interactions between the Mongol conquerors and local Chinese Daoists in which the two found common ground in sage-kings worship that had served to strengthen imperial legitimacy in previous dynasties. The strong Mongol-Daoist alliance in reordering the empire's ritual space resulted in not just the revival of but also the creation of new ritual precedents for the Chinese imperial cult of sage-kings. | Source Title: | T'oung Pao | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/194550 | ISSN: | 00825433 15685322 |
