One of the three sacred mountains described in Chinese Taoist thought. It originated during the Warring States period when practitioners of the two states of Qi and Yan, located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, combined the phenomenon of mirages with the theory of Taoism. According to the Records of the Grand Historian and other sources, there are three sacred mountains in the Bohai Sea: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, where immortals live and have the elixir of immortality, the birds and animals on the mountains are all pure white, and the palaces where the immortals live are made of gold and silver. Also, from afar, the three sacred mountains look like clouds, but from up close they are in the sea, and when commoners approach, the wind blows back and they cannot reach them.Mount HoraiSource: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
中国,神仙思想で説かれる三神山の一つ。起源的には,戦国時代に渤海(ぼつかい)沿岸に位置する斉・燕2国の方術者たちが,蜃気楼(しんきろう)現象と神仙説とを付会して唱え始めたものである。《史記》などによると,渤海中には蓬萊・方丈・瀛洲(えいしゆう)の三神山があって,仙人が住み不死の薬があり,山上の鳥獣はすべて純白で,仙人の住む宮殿は金銀でつくられている。また,この三神山は遠くから見ると雲のようにみえるが,近くから見ると海中にあり,俗人が近づくと風が引きもどして行きつけないという。
