Tibetan Taoist books
The formal integration of Taoism and calligraphy began in Tang Kaiyuan (713-741). Since then, the dynasties of Song, Jin, Yuan and Ming have successively compiled Taoist scriptures. There was a Taoist collection in the Qing Dynasty. Contemporary books include Taoist scriptures outside Tibet, Taoist scriptures in Dunhuang and Taoist scriptures in China.
Dunhuang collection:
At the beginning of the 20th century, Taoist King found a large number of manuscripts of ancient classics in the Buddhist scriptures in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Among them, more than 500 manuscripts of Taoist suicide notes were copied from the late Southern and Northern Dynasties to the middle of Tang Dynasty for about 200 years, especially from Tang Gaozong, Wuhou to Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. Its contents include Taoist philosophers, Taoist classics, scientific instruments, etc. There are more than 0/00 kinds of Taoist books, about half of which are early Taoist classics not included in orthodox Taoist books. The discovery of Taoist scriptures in Dunhuang not only made up for the lack of Taoist scriptures in Ming Dynasty, but also provided valuable historical materials for the study of Taoist history in Hexi area. Once the Dunhuang suicide note was published, it attracted great attention from scholars at home and abroad. Japanese scholar Keizo Obuchi published the Catalogue of Dunhuang Taoist Scriptures on 1978, which recorded about 496 manuscripts of Dunhuang Taoist Scriptures. 1979, Mr. Dayuan published the Catalogue of Dunhuang Taoist Scriptures, which published photocopies of all Dunhuang Taoist Scriptures. From 65438 to 0999, Mr. Li Defan published Dunhuang Taoist Collection, which arranged more than 500 Dunhuang Taoist Collection documents from the suicide note unearthed in Dunhuang into five volumes.
China series:
On the basis of the orthodox Taoist collection in Ming Dynasty and the continuation of Taoist collection in Wanli, China Taoist Collection has maintained the basic framework of three caves and four auxiliary collections. Confucian classics with three holes and four supplements are classified according to different contents. The whole collection is divided into seven categories: three-point true classics, four auxiliary true classics, Taoist essays, Daoism, Daoism, fairy tales and catalogue index. Books collected by various departments. According to the origin and chronological order of Taoism.
Collected Taoist scriptures:
During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Changzhou Jinshi Patten compiled 28 episodes of Taoist Collection, that is, 280 volumes of books 100 were published late, which was finally published. During the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, Assistant Minister Jiang was published in Beijing. Taoist books 173 kinds, all taken from the orthodox Taoist scriptures of the Ming Dynasty, were selected into the Taoist classics collection. In the thirty-second year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1906), the abbots of Chengdu Erxian Temple Yan Yonghe and Xinjin Peng Hanran initiated the re-engraving, and Long participated in the revision and added a new edition of Daozang. The current edition is Erxian Temple edition, with a total of 245 volumes, and the collection of Taoist books has increased to 287, among which 1 14 new Taoist books have been added, all of which are ancient books that were not collected in the Taoist collection in the Ming Dynasty.

It is the only board in Taoist classics today. After the restoration of the policy of freedom of religious belief, the printed thread-bound clothes of Qingyang Palace were supplied to the outside world and reprinted by Bashu Bookstore 1986.
Cultural classics:
Taoist culture is rich and colorful, all-encompassing, and has many contents. To sum up, it mainly includes the following aspects:
Taoist theology.
Among the various contents of Taoist culture, there is a core, which is Taoist belief in immortals. As a mature religion, Taoism has its own theological theory and a religious belief goal that can attract people to pursue. This belief is that people can become immortal through hard pursuit and live forever. This belief in immortals is the core of the theological theory expounded by Taoism. At the beginning of Taoism, the belief in immortals was established. At the same time, Taoism in this period also absorbed many components from ancient philosophy, primitive religion and ancient people's health training to form its theory and behavior system about immortal belief, which laid the foundation for the development of Taoist theology. Attracted by the "magnet" of "immortal belief", Taoist priests carried out various activities to absorb and create culture and created a complex Taoist cultural system.
Taoist ethics.
Taoism's ethical thoughts are reflected in Taoism's rules and regulations. The ethics of Taoism not only absorbs the ethics of Taoism, but also absorbs the ethics of Confucianism and Buddhism, so its content is becoming more and more complicated. Among them, the Confucian thought of three cardinal guides and five permanent members with loyalty and filial piety as the main axis has a very significant influence on Taoist ethics. But unlike Confucianism, Taoism's ethics and morality are mainly realized by the power of the gods. On the one hand, Taoism guides people to consciously abide by ethics with the beautiful fantasy of immortality; On the other hand, people are forced to abide by ethics with the divine power of rewarding good and punishing evil. The combination of positive guidance and negative intimidation makes its moral and ethical norms have a great impact on society. In addition, Taoism's exhortation to goodness makes Taoism's ethical thoughts more concentrated, systematic and popular.
Taoist philosophy.
Taoism used to be regarded as a low-level and popular folk religion, with only some symbols of water, religion and science close to witchcraft, not to mention philosophical thinking. But now most scholars believe that Taoism has its philosophical content. Taoist philosophy serves its teachings and is the ideological and theoretical basis of its teachings. In other words, the philosophical argument of Taoist doctrine is Taoist philosophy. The ideological materials of Taoist philosophy came from China's philosophy from the beginning, mainly Taoist philosophy. Taoism uses a lot of rational argumentation of Taoist philosophy, which makes Taoist thought contain rich philosophical contents such as world outlook, epistemology, ethics and life theory, which are the basic categories and components of Taoist philosophy. Among them, the "Tao" of immortality is the central category of Taoist philosophy, and the existence of immortals and the immortality of human beings are the basic propositions. One of the most important aspects of his ideological system is the internal basis and ways to prove whether people become immortals.
Taoist alchemy.
Alchemy is an important method of Taoism, including external alchemy and internal alchemy. Waidan, commonly known as alchemy, is also called Waidan Huangbaizhu. Externally applied elixir takes cinnabar, lead, mercury and sulfur as the main raw materials, and is put in the furnace pot with other drugs. Burn by flying, smoking, squatting, sealing and pouring. In order to prepare an elixir that can make people live forever and become immortal after being hooked. Because I believe that taking the elixir can make me live forever, Taoist priests have been working hard to refine it. Although taking the elixir can't live forever in the end, Taoist priests unexpectedly promoted the development of ancient science in China in the process of alchemy. With the gradual decline of external alchemy, it was replaced by internal alchemy to cultivate people's essence and spirit. Inner alchemy inherited and combined persuasion, fetal breathing, keeping one's mind and thinking, which had a great influence on later Qigong.
Taoist medicine.
From the very beginning, Taoism regarded medical skill as a tool to preach, teach and solve doubts. Moreover, with the establishment of the theoretical system of immortal Taoism in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Taoism regards medicine as a necessary auxiliary means and knowledge to pursue and obtain longevity. Under the guidance of this theory, the thought of "Taoism is natural" in Taoist medicine has been further developed, thus forming a humanistic medical thought with Taoist characteristics. Taoist doctors have accumulated rich medical experience through long-term medical practice, and invented and innovated various Taoist medical health preservation methods that can strengthen the body and prolong life, such as house art, taking food and teaching.
Taoist literature and art 。
Taoist literature and art are all kinds of literary and artistic works with the theme of propagating Taoist teachings, immortal's idea of longevity and reflecting their religious life. Literature and art can expand the social influence of Taoism, and then improve the religious quality of Taoism. On the other hand, Taoist belief in immortals has a great influence on the development of literature and art in China. In Taoist scriptures, not only some Taoist scriptures are literary works, but also the music, palace buildings and immortal images in Taoism have high artistic value. Among China's literary works, the works with Taoism and immortals as the content are unparalleled, from which we can also see the close relationship between Taoism and literature and art.
