Emeishan zhi 峨眉山志 is a book on Mt. Emei, Sichuan, one of the famous Buddhist mountains. The book of 18 juan was compiled in 1672 by Jiang Chao 蔣超 (1624-1673), courtesy name Huchen 虎臣, style Sui'an 綏庵 or Huayang Shanren 華陽山人, from Zhenjiang 鎮江, Jiangsu.
It consisted of 18 juan, plus one fascicle of additions. It describes the various mountains tops of the area, the life of Buddhist communities, and presents the vitae of 79 eminent monks, as well as those of 24 Daoist masters. Jiang also quotes from poems and prose writings of visitors, imperial ordinances concerning the region, and from stone inscriptions. It was printed in 1689, but only after revision by Cao Xiheng 曹熙衡, courtesy name Xuzheng 素征, from Jinzhou 錦州, Liaoning.
Cao's version begins with overview maps and eulogies, and consists of 11 chapters speaking of astronomy, geography, temples and monasteries, Chan (Zen) masters, eminent monks, immortals (Daoists), local products, official documents, historic sites, writings, and miscellaneous matters. The book was reprinted in 1834.
