Off-topic tag for "Four Taoist mountains"

Section 3 lists four Taoist mountains in addition to the five listed in the first section. With some reason, somebody put a tag on that section, saying that it may stray too far from the article topic. Does anyone know why these mountains are included here? Are they, perhaps, included on some official or traditional list of sacred mountains that includes more than just the five Taoist and four Buddhist mountains that are described in the lead? There are also the "other famous Taoist mountains" listed in section 3.5, and Mount Lu, listed in the See also section.

If there are mountains in China, other than the five and four mentioned in the lead, that are specifically designated as "sacred mountains" (as opposed to being just mountains with temples on them), perhaps the third section should list all of them. The lead section, and the scope of the article, would have to be adjusted to include those other mountains. If, on the other hand, the term "Sacred Mountains of China" really does refer exclusively to the five Taoist and four Buddhist mountains, these others should be removed. A.

Idk

The Sacred Mountains of China are divided into several groups. The Five Great Mountains (simplified Chinese: 五岳; traditional Chinese: 五嶽; pinyin: Wǔyuè) refers to five of the most renowned mountains in Chinese history,[1] and they were the subjects of imperial pilgrimage by emperors throughout ages. They are associated with the supreme God of Heaven and the five main cosmic deities of Chinese traditional religion. The group associated with Buddhism is referred to as the Four Sacred Mountains of Buddhism (四大佛教名山; Sì dà fójiào míngshān), and the group associated with Taoism is referred to as the Four Sacred Mountains of Taoism (四大道教名山; Sì dà dàojiào míngshān). 82.137.117.14 (talk) 17:04, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs some overhauling with the descriptions

I think those with some more knowledge on these mountains' history and cultural roles should edit this page. It feels incomplete in places. GoutComplex (talk) 21:08, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
