明五臺山諸佛寺建築材料之取得與運輸－以木材、銅、鐵等建材為主 =Acquisition and Transport of the Building Materials for Temples around Wu-Tai Mountain in Ming Dynasty: Mainly for Wood, Copper, Iron, etc
Located in the northeast of Sanshi Province, Wu-Tai Mountain is not merely a high mountain but a traditional important Buddhistic holly place in China. Actually, many temples were constructed directly by the government or by the aids through the personal connections with some political powers. The construction of temples, especially the usage of building materials, did have certain positive effects on the industrialization and the economy of the nearby area. The environmental impacts are not negligible, including the flooding in the downstream area of the Yellow River.
