Cave Heaven Fortune Land (English spelling)
|
In Chinese Taoism, this refers to famous mountain sites believed to be home to immortals. Like Ichichuten, Cave Heaven appears to have been born from the idea that the entire universe exists within a single limited space, but at the same time, it is probably based on a primitive belief in caves as sacred places connected to the spiritual world below. This idea was organized during the Tang Dynasty, and the names of the Ten Great Cave Heavens, the Thirty-Six Small Cave Heavens, and the Seventy-Two Blessed Places were established.

中国の道教で神仙の住むとされる名山勝境のこと。洞天は，壱中天と同じく，一つの限られた空間の中に全宇宙が存在するという考えから生まれたもののようであるが，同時に，それは地下の霊界とつながりをもった聖なる場としての〈洞窟〉に対する原始的な信仰にも基づくものであろう。この考えが唐代になって整理され，十大洞天，三十六小洞天，七十二福地の名が定められた。【稲畑 耕一郎】
