Detailed Notes to the Catalogue of Collected Taoist Scriptures (Volume I): Volume I to Volume V of The Name of the Night, The True Story of Xishan Fairy Society, edited by Li Cong, a disciple of Sanxianmen, is a real person living in Huayang, a pure empty cave. Know, know the law, know people, know the time, be a governor, and talk about health, shape, qi and longevity. It is also a theory of nourishing the internal organs, invigorating qi, replenishing essence, benefiting and damaging. It is also the theory of true fire and water, true dragon and tiger, true elixir, true lead and mercury, true yin and yang, refining method into Tao, refining gas, refining gas into spirit, refining spirit into Tao and refining Tao into holiness. "
As for the number of Taoist scriptures, there are 25 in them, except for 35 in the general examination of literature. I read twenty-five articles in this book. One possibility is that another version of the document was recorded in the general exam, and now it can't be seen. Another possibility is that there is an error in the general examination record of literature, and "35" is an error of "25".
The earliest version we see now is included in the Collection of Taoist Scriptures and the Laws of Cave Truth, which is called The Legend of the Immortals in Xishan, with five volumes and twenty-five articles, and a preface by Shi Jian Wu Xi, a real person in Huayang. The capital of each volume contains the words of the author's information, "Shi Jianwu, a real person in the Qing Dynasty, is a biography, and the disciples of Sanxianmen are strangers." No postscript, postscript, etc. Later, the copy of this book in the orthodox Taoist collection of Hanfenlou was included in the Taoist category of the sub-department of Sikuquanshu Cunmu Series.
The second edition is included in collected Taoist scriptures. The fairy tales in the catalogue will be true, and the fairy tales in Xishan in the text will be true. No volume, there are 25 articles * * *, with the preface of Huayang real person Shi Jianwusheng. Followed by the title of the book, and then the author's message "Shi Jianwu Xi is rumored, a real person in the Qing Dynasty, Li Gan, a disciple of Sanxianmen, co-edited by the whole country". No postscript, postscript, etc.
The third edition is included in the tenth episode of Taoist Collection. It's called "The Story of Xishan Fairy Club", with 25 articles. The footer is marked "Keep a corrected copy".
The fourth edition is included in the sixth episode of Collected Taoist Scriptures, with the title of "Xishan Fairy Biography" with 25 volumes. There is no postscript after that.
Fifthly, The Book of Taoism contains Hui Zhen, which is excerpted from the chapter of Hui Zhen Ji of Xi Mountain.
The true story of Xishan Fairy Club and the Secret Book of Taishang Jade Letter.
The National Library of China collected a series of books entitled "Shu Qun, the Secret of Taishang's Keeping out the Cold" in the manuscript of the Ming Dynasty. The title of the volume is "Re-recording of Sichuan lay man born in Yangxinzhai in October of the fifth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty", which is a manuscript of Wen Chuan lay man in the fifth year of Wanli (1577). The layout is 10 line, each line is 22-26 words, blue grid, white mouth, surrounded by two sides, and was later included in the book Tibetan Daoism published by Chengdu Bashu Bookstore. From the content, Taiwanese businessman Han Yu Xuanmi Shu Qun is an abridged version of the true story of Xishan Qunxian Association. According to the postscript, this book was handed down by Weng Ding, namely Mo Ding Yue.
Mo is a famous Taoist in Yuan Dynasty. If this preface is not an excuse, then this book should have been handed down from the Yuan Dynasty. In the Bibliographic Analysis of Taoist Books in Tibet, Tian Chengyang thinks that there is another Taoist book on Mount Tai, including ten volumes of Taoist books. If we look up Taoist books and the records of Xishan Fairy Association, we know that there are two volumes, Xuan Lu in Nine Heaven Cave and the Secret of Nine Immortals, but we will compare the Neiguan Classic of Mount Tai with Mount Tai Cave. The bibliography of Dan in the volume seems to be the general catalogue of the whole book, but it is inconsistent with its actual bibliography; It can be seen that this book has been scattered. The date of completion of this book is after the orthodox Taoist Collection and before the Wanli Taoist Collection. Most of the characters were handed down from the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Unlike Taoist collections, they can be collated and have ancient value that cannot be underestimated. "
However, it is still possible that the book "Shu Qun, Selected Secrets of Taishang Jade Letter" will be completed. In the postscript, I noticed that this set of books was re-engraved in Wanli period and belonged to the late Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, especially in the middle and late period, it was quite common to carve books and tamper with ancient books at will. As the sixty-first volume of the Catalogue of Sikuquanshu said: "Publishers in Ming Dynasty often misused old editions for no reason, and the editions competed with each other, which was very chaotic, and it became very popular after Wanli." Cao Zhi's edition of China Ancient Books gives an example: "For example, Du Si's Bieben Chao Ge's Loyalty and Righteousness Record was changed from Yu Zhou's Waste Loyalty and Righteousness Record, and Yu Shu's praise was deleted. The book has three prefaces: Zhang Qin's Legacy Record, Huang Zuo's Caochu Pavilion and Ao Ying's Legacy Record. For another example, the Ming version of Xue Xuan's Alternative Way was selected from Xue Xuan's Reading Record and written into a book. " Although the title of the book "The Secret Book of Taiwanese Jade Letters" is not "Hui Zhen Ji", its fate is probably the epitome of the bad habit of engraving books in the late Ming Dynasty.
In the Textual Research on the Formation Time of Zhongdan School, Mr. Zhu also pointed out: "The Classic of Tibetan Daoism contains the Secret Books of Emperor Tai Shang's Jade Letters (also known as Ten Secret Books of Jade Letters), which is a collection of pure and ethereal real people. The Secret Book of the Jade Letter of Tai Shang Huang is well organized, written by Shi Jianwu, a real person in Huayang, and supplemented by Li Qi, a disciple of Sanshanmen. Ten bibliographies are listed after the preface. There are eight kinds of books and two kinds of books, which are replaced by Neiguan Jing and Guanding Jing respectively. There is a postscript in The Mysterious Book of Emperor Tai Huang's Jade Letter, which says that Yu Yongle, a Taoist of Baiyun, awarded this book to Gao Bozu. The so-called Huayangshi real-life collection "The Secret Book of the Jade Letter of the Emperor Tai Shang" is combined with the preface, and Li proofreads the name. The covers of the eight books of "The Emperor Tai Shang Han Yuxuan Secrets Shu Qun" were all written or compiled by Ming Dynasty people. "
The Mystery of the Jade Letter in Tai Shang is mixed with the popular Huizhenji, and the version is earlier, which is very complicated. Although the quality is not high, the value of philology can not be ignored. For the convenience of readers, this paper introduces its framework as follows.
The secret book of Emperor Tai Shang's Jade Letter is called "A Collection of Real People of Huayangshi in Qingxu Cave". After the title is an excerpt from the preface of Hui Zhen Ji, and then signed "Xu Qingdong, Tian Yanghua, a real person, explained my Xi sacred book" and "Sanshanmen disciple Li Qi corrected it". After signing, ten books are listed, namely: Yuhua Lingshu, Taishang Hidden Book, Taishang Xuan Jing, Shangqing Ge Xuan, Jiutiandong Xuan Lu, Jiuxian Secret, Sanqing Muslim Record, Chinese Yellow Secret, Xishanhui Zhen Ji and Qunxiantong Secret Record.
However, the books collected in the text of the series are not completely consistent with the ten books listed in the catalogue.
The first volume is the Secret Book of Taishang Yuhua, with the subtitle of "Learning from the Scriptures". The following text is divided into three parts: knowing the law, knowing people. These are three articles from Hui Zhen Ji.
The second book is the Neiguan Jing written by Taishang Laojun.
The third book is "The Mysterious Treasure Sutra of Taishang Cave".
The fourth book is The Mystery Collection of Jade Letters, and the subtitle is The Second Understanding. This paper is divided into two parts, the first part is the understanding of time, the second part is the understanding of things. The content is also taken from these two articles of Ji. Among them, the chapter on knowing when is just a little less than the first paragraph of the book of knowing when, and everything else is exactly the same.
The fifth volume is "The Secret Mirror of Stone Chamber Jade Letter", with the subtitle of self-cultivation, which is divided into: health preservation, fitness, qi preservation, heart preservation and health preservation. These contents are all excerpts from the articles in Hui Zhen Ji, and they are different in some subtle places. For example, in the book Hui Zhen Yang Xing, it is said that "the ancients raised Yang with Yang", while in the book Yang Xing, it is said that "the reality is too empty:' Yangyang'"; In Nourishing Qi, "Emperor Yin Shu" was changed to "Taibai Ren Zhen Yue".
The sixth part is "Shang Qing Ge Xuan", a secret collection of jade letters from Shishi, with the subtitle of Supplementary Classics. The text is divided into three parts: Supplementing Internal Parts, Supplementing Classics and Supplementing Qi, which are excerpted from relevant articles in Huizhenji, and the order of supplementing qi and supplementing classics in Huizhenji has been adjusted. The seventh book is Mysteries of Jade Letters in Taishang, with the subtitle of Xiuzhen Zhongjing, and the text of the book is Zhendan Medicine and Zhenlead Mercury. This is an excerpt and deletion of the corresponding articles in Hui Zhen Ji.
The eighth volume is Yellow Secrets in the Mystery of Emperor Taizong's Jade Letter, with the subtitle of Xiuzhen Xia Jing and the text of Yin Zhen Yangpian, which is excerpted from the corresponding article in Huizhenji.
The ninth is the true story of the mystery of the meeting of immortals in the Western Hills, subtitled "Xiujing", and the text is divided into three parts: refining the Tao, refining the Qi, and refining the Qi into the spirit. Among them, the chapter of refining gas into god is complete except that the statement of "the story of Xishan" is changed to "the secret of Xishan"
The tenth volume is the Mystery Story of the Real Man in the West Mountain in the Jade Letter of the Stone Chamber, subtitled "Sutra", and the text is divided into "refining the spirit and uniting the Tao" and "refining the Tao into the holy chapter". Later, there was a short postscript written by Wen Chuan, which recorded the origin of this book. The excerpt is as follows: "On the first day of July in the year of Yongle Gengzi, my grandfather Dong Gong met a Taoist priest in Baiyun at Jinling Inn. In order to help Dong Gong clean up the bureau, it was like the wind in the forest, and he gave ten volumes and twenty-five articles. According to legend, the secret of his teacher Weng Ding is that he can live forever. But don't show it to others easily. Looking at the sun in September, Wanli five years, re-recorded Yangxin Zhai. "
Comparing the catalogues of ten books listed in the Mystery of Taishang Jade Slips, Hui Zhen Ji recorded in the Mystery of Taishang Jade Slips is not among Tibetan Taoist books. Comparing the contents of the above eight books with the contents of Huizhen Collection, the missing articles are as follows: Buyi, Bubu, Town Parallel Import and Town Longhu. Judging from the bibliography and content order, the contents of Xuan Lu in Nine Heaven Cave and Nine Immortals' Tips should be beneficial, compensatory, true fire and water, and true dragon and tiger. A total of 25 articles, the same as the postscript, and also exactly the same as Huizhen Collection.
