	Taoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taoist alchemist Ge Hong, also known as Baopuzi (The "Master Embracing Simplicity") was active in the third and fourth centuries CE and had great influence on later Taoism.
		The number of "Taoists" is difficult to estimate, partly for definitional reasons (who counts as a Taoist?), and partly for practical ones (it is illegal for private parties to conduct surveys in China).
		Taoist temples in southern China and Taiwan may often be identified by their roofs, which feature Chinese dragons and phoenixes made from multi-colored ceramic tiles.

		Further, despite the proliferation of Taoist studies in the last decades, the enormity of the task&emdash;almost fifteen hundred titles are collected in the Tao-tsang alone&emdash;is such that Taoist studies may be said to be yet in its infancy.
		Further, it is in Taoist scriptures that there is a greater richness of narrative detail and closer portrayal of particulars of aspect and costume, for intimate knowledge of a celestial being betokened scriptural authenticity and a close familiarity with physical appearance allowed the adept to recognize the figures of his visions.
		Among his works preserved in the canon is the Shang-ch'ing han-hsiang chien-chien t'u (Diagrams of the Upper Clarity Swords and Mirrors Bearing Simulacra, TT 196, HY 431), is a text which accompanied his presentation of spiritually potent Taoist swords and mirrors to the throne.

	Shambhala - Cultivating Stillness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Taoist methods of health, longevity, and immortality were often presented in the esoteric terminology of alchemy, which was intended both to reveal and to hide.
		The degeneration of Taoist internal alchemy was at its worst during the late T'ang dynasty (618–906 CE) and the Era of the Five and Ten Kingdoms (907–960 CE).
		However, in the Sung dynasty, Taoist internal alchemy emphasized the dual cultivation of body and mind, and clearing the mind of desire was increasingly viewed as complementary to the cultivation of physical health.

	Studies on the Taoist Canon (Main Text)
		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.
		In addition to the indexes contained in the Canon itself (Daozang jing mulu, CT 1431; and Daozang xu jing mulu, CT 1432), two annotated indexes of the texts in the Taoist Canon were compiled by Bai Yunji and by Li Jie, respectively, in the Qing period.
		Taoist works not included in the Zhengtong Daozang are also found among the 100 texts of the Daozang jinghua lu (Anthological Records from the Taoist Canon), compiled by Ding Fubao (1874-1952) (Shanghai: Yixue shuju, 1922; repr.

		By contrast the taoists have another tradition, which is where both a lot confusion and where a tremendous amount of the taoist meditation practices find their origin.

		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 present-day Taoist Canon formally preserves the division into Grottoes, Supplements and Sections, but often shows substantial departures from this ideal arrangement especially due to the inclusion of texts that resulted from revelations or teachings later than the date in which those divisions were elaborated.
		Of the several scriptural corpora represented in the present-day Taoist Canon only the corpus of the Shangqing (Supreme Purity) tradition has been studied in an exhaustive fashion, in two works by Strickmann (1979) and Isabelle Robinet (1984), respectively.

		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.
