Features: This book is part of the series "Daoism in Modern Perspectives." The series is characterized by its "collection" format—each book stands alone yet collectively forms a collection, or multiple small collections merge into larger ones, much like the vastness of the "Siku Quanshu" (Four Treasuries). As for the organization of the series, some collections revolve around a single theme, while others are categorized by format. The titles in this series do not share a consistent theme, and from a content perspective, there is no tight logical connection. Some discuss immortals and life ideals, others focus on temples and shrines, some explore deity worship, and yet others delve into health preservation and fiction, covering a very broad range. If there is any unifying element, it is that all topics center on Daoism, and they are discussed from a modern perspective.
