With a focus on the ways in which legends and local histories represent the perceived sacrality of this sacred space, it aims to throw new light on the formation and transformation of the cult of the Shicheng image. Through a critical and comparative study of some of the fundamental legendary and semi-legendary components that constitute the complicated lore of this Buddhist sacred space, this study further endeavors to bring to the fore the political and social dynamisms - and sometime personal elements (such as concerns for health problems that afflicted a powerful prince) - that propelled the carving and innovation of this colossal image.Abbreviations: T Taishō shinshū daizōkyō 大正新修大藏經 [see Takakusu and Watanabe, eds.]; X Wanzi xuzang jing 卍續藏經 (see Wanzi xuzang jing); SKQS Jingyin Wenyuange Siku quanshu 景印文淵閣四庫全書.
