Beiyue, as the geographical coordinate of the ancient
northern territory of China, has a prominent cultural status and a
unique history of place transfer of the sacrifice ritual. In order to
study the historical evolution of Beiyue, the research methods of
historical literature collection, map research, and field research
were used to investigate the turning points that drove the migration
of Beiyue from the Five Dynasties to Qing Dynasty, such as the
downward movement of the ancient Beiyue Temple, the germination
of the Hunyuan Beiyue saying, and the coexistence of two mountains
sealing and sacrificing. From the perspective of cultural integration,
the migration of Beiyue was influenced by institutional cultures such
as the expansion of the territorial pattern, the impetus of the dynasty's
geographical theory, and the transfer of military beliefs, and also
affected by the development of agricultural economy in Hengshan
area, and the social emotions at the spiritual-cultural level. The place
transfer of the sacrifice ritual of Beiyue was jointly promoted by
the government and the public, reflecting the evolution of Beiyue's
positioning in geographical space and national order space under the
macro humanistic concept, and giving birth to natural and cultural
landscapes with interrelated characteristics. From the perspective of
cultural integration, Beiyue, as a cultural symbol, not only integrates
the diachronic landscape features of the two mountains, but also
becomes the driving force for the protection and inheritance of scenic
and historic sites due to the Beiyue culture reflected by the place
transfer of the sacrifice ritual. |
