ABSTRACT: Taishan enjoyed great fame both in China and in the world. As an indispensable topic, incense pilgrimage to Taishan also plays an essential role in English literature. The dense distribution of Taishan topics in English literature from the 18th century to the mid-20th century highlights the process of pilgrimage from prosperity to decline and then to revival. At the same time, the description of pilgrimage in English also has trans-cultural characteristics, which promotes the international transmission of Taishan culture.
