  ABSTRACT: Sinology studies have focused on the study of Taishan Belief Culture when their writers were studying Taishan culture. A historical record shows that this focus varies due to the authors’ knowledge of Dongyue Dadi and Bixia Yuanjun beliefs which are regarded as the major beliefs in Taishan culture. However different, the theme of the belief described is similar as they all reflect the relationship between human and nature, which can be regarded as an aspect of eco-culture study. This paper firstly illustrates how these sinology studies describe the two major beliefs about Taishan; then analyzes how they are related to eco-culture, and finally provides a conclusion that not only are the two beliefs closely related to eco-culture but they reflect a harmonious existence between human and nature from the records of foreign cultural literature.
