Taoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Quanzhen school of Taoism was founded during this period, and together with the Zhengyi Celestial Masters is one of the two schools of Taoism that have survived to the present. The Daozang (道藏, Treasury of Tao) is sometimes referred to as the "Taoist canon." It was compiled during the Jin, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, and includes almost 1500 texts. Daoshi generally do not consult published versions of the Daozang, but use texts which have been passed down from teacher to student (who are often relatives). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Taoism   (5119 words)

Daozang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Daozang (道藏, or Treasury of Tao, in the Wade-Giles romanisation Tao Tsang) or "Daoist Canon" consists of almost 5000 individual texts that were collected circa C.E. 400 (quite some time after the Dao De Jing and Zhuang Zi which are the core Daoist texts). They were collected by Daoist monks of the period in an attempt to bring together all of the teachings of Daoism, including all the commentaries and expositions of the various masters from the original teachings found in the Dao De Jing and Zhuang Zi. Around C.E. 1016 of the Song dynasty, the Daozang was revised and many texts collected during the Tang dynasty were removed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Daozang   (555 words)

Taoist Canon The Taoist Canon of the Ming period -- the Zhengtong Daozang or Taoist Canon of the Zhengtong Era -- is the latest such collection and the only one that is extant today. The classical study on the scriptural corpora found in the present-day Taoist Canon is Chen Guofu's Daozang yuanliu kao (A study on the evolution of the Taoist Canon; 1963), a work that is often considered as the foundation of modern Taoist studies.

Taoist doctrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Many early versions of Chinese medicine had roots in Taoist thought, and modern Chinese medicine as well as Chinese martial arts still in many ways deal with Taoist concepts such as Tao, Qi, and the balance of Yin and Yang. Many of these spells and alchemic formulas can be found in the later Taoist text known as the Daozang (Taoist Canon). This was produced many years after the original core texts of Tao Te Ching and Zhuang Zi and was more of a collection of many commentaries and elaborations by numerous masters over the years. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Taoist_doctrine   (1126 words)

Humbul full record view for -- The Daozang (Taoist canon)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The 'Daozang' or Taoist Canon is divided into two main sections, both of which will be of interest to advanced researchers on Taoist writings, belief and culture. The first is a lengthy text index to the almost 1,500 works in the 'Daozang' itself. The second is a larger introductory guide to the Canon, which takes the form of a bibliographic essay and explores not only its history, but various modern reprints, catalogues, studies and bibliographic material. www.humbul.ac.uk /output/full2.php?id=2177   (242 words)

Sinophilia - your gateway to China - religions The fact that it is actually a series of texts could then lead to describe it as a Taoist Bible, but the quality and quantity of its content makes it difficult to compare it to such a tradition. What makes it so difficult to find one's way through the Daozang is the fact that the Ming Canon no longer respects these subdivisions. Judith Boltz (1987) and Poul Andersen (1990) publicated studies on the Daozang. www.sinophilia.org /china/infocanon.htm   (588 words)

Daozang Database The Daozang Database (DDB) is an ARC/China project aiming to produce a searchable database with bibliographic and other information on all texts in the Daoist Canon (Daozang 道藏). Support from ARC/China has made it possible to amend an earlier version of the database and to expand the amount of data with the help of Dominic Steavu, a graduate student of the Department of Religious Studies at Stanford. To illustrate these further possibilities, abstracts of Daozang texts found in the Zhongguo chuantong wenhua gang (www.enweiculture.com) and the Daojiao wenhua ziliao ku (www.taoism.org.hk) websites have been imported into the DDB, also providing links to the original web pages. www.stanford.edu /group/scbs/ARC/china/projects/daozang_db.html   (836 words)

Amazon.ca: The Taoist Canon: A Historical Companion to the Daozang: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The vast literature of the Taoist canon, or Daozang, survives in a Ming Dynasty edition of some fifteen hundred different texts. Not only was the rationale of its medieval classification system inoperable for the many new texts that later entered the Daozang, but the system itself was no longer understood by the Ming editors; hence the haphazard arrangement of the canon as it has come down to us. This new work sets out the contents of the Daozang chronologically, allowing the reader to follow the long evolution of Taoist literature. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0226738132   (561 words)

Heavenly Master Taoism Conference An analytic and descriptive catalog of early Heavenly Master scriptures in The Taoist Canon: A historical companion to the Daozang, edited by Kristofer Schipper and Franciscus Verellen (forthcoming, University of Chicago Press), served as a point of departure for the conference. Connecting the liturgical practice of confession to the three divine judges with the Heavenly Master teaching regarding sin as the cause of disease and haunting, Lai Chi Tim explores the religious and administrative beliefs related to the Three Officials. The work's main purpose was to match types and quantities of pledges to be offered by the client with the type of petition ritual requested and to aid the priest in selecting suitable models for the petition text and dates for the ritual. www.lib.uchicago.edu /earlychina/res/confrept/taoism.html   (4946 words)

Review of The Taoist Canon by Kristofer Schipper and Franciscus Verellen | Taoism | Daoism The Taoist Canon: A Historical Companion to the Daozang (Daozang tongkao 道藏通考). The publication of the three-volume Companion must be considered one of the most historically significant events for the field of Daoist Studies and a milestone in Chinese area studies. Moreover, according to the editors, the Daozang may be read as a chart for the Daoist adept’s path to initiation, a library for all branches of Daoist learning, and a core history of the Daoist tradition in continuous interaction with the larger contours of Chinese religious and cultural history (xiii-xiv; see also 2-5). rels.queensu.ca /dao/review.schipper.php   (2499 words)

Daoist Literature Summary - Daoist Literature Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) Large-scale study in this area was greatly enhanced in 1926 with the appearance of the first widely accessible reprint of the Daozang, or Daoist canon, which, at 1120 fascicles, is the largest repository of Daoist literature ever compiled. Research on Daoism prior to that time was, with few exceptions, generally confined to studies of texts such as the Laozi and Zhuangzi that are widely available in editions outside the canon. The one-sided view of Daoist traditions that such limitations promote is easily amended when the resources of the Daozang are taken into account, together with subsidiary compilations and pertinent collections of epigraphy and manuscripts. www.bookrags.com /other/religion/daoist-literature-eorl-04.html   (283 words)

Du Guangting Summary - Du Guangting Information Du announced the divine restoration of the Tang dynasty under the auspices of Lord Lao in his memorial Lidai chongdao ji (Daozang 593), which he presented to the emperor on the eve of the court's return to the capital in 885. Du's contributions to philosophical and scriptural exegesis are epitomized in his massive annotation of the Tang imperial commentary on Laozi's "The Way and Its Power" (Dao de zhenjing guangsheng yi [Daozang 725]). Hundreds of his court and liturgical memorials document his activity at various social levels, from the emperor to the newly risen merchant class (see especially Lidai chongdao ji [Daozang 593] and the surviving seventeen- juan fragment of his collected works, the Guangcheng ji [Daozang 616]). www.bookrags.com /other/religion/du-guangting-eorl-04.html   (869 words)

Laozi An early pioneer is the eighth-century Daoist master Zhang Junxiang, who cited some thirty commentaries in his study of the Daodejing (Wang 1981). According to Du, there were those who saw the Laozi as a political text, while others focused on spiritual self-cultivation. For example, a Tang commentary by Wang Zhen, the Daodejing lunbing yaoyishu (Daozang 713; fasc. plato.stanford.edu /entries/laozi   (13348 words)

Daoist Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] The emperors sponsored the creation of the first complete Daoist Canon (Daozang), which was edited between 1408 and 1445. In the year 1926 only two copies of the Daoist Canon (Daozang) existed and Daoist philosophical heritage was in great jeopardy. But permission was granted to copy the canon kept at the White Cloud Monastery, and so the texts were preserved for the world. www.utm.edu /research/iep/d/daoism.htm   (7213 words)
