Five Sacred Mountains

五岳

In Chinese legend, Pangu, who separated heaven from earth, gave his body to the world when he died: his breath became wind and clouds, his eyes the sun and moon, his blood the rivers, and his head and limbs the Five Sacred Mountains, his head becoming Mount Tai in the east.
