Features: The Inner Canon of the Emerald Immortal is included in the 868th to 870th volumes of the Orthodox Canon of Taoism. There are also numerous commentaries on it, such as Tao Hongjing's Commentary on the Emerald Immortal's Inner Canon (20 volumes, now lost), Luo Zhenyu's Annotations on Fragments of the Emerald Immortal's Inner Canon from the Dunhuang Grottoes, Sun Xingyan's Inner Canon of the Emerald Immortal published by the Pingjin Studio, and so on. The contemporary renowned scholar Wang Ming's Collation and Explanation of the Inner Canon of the Emerald Immortal collates multiple extant versions and achieves particularly significant research results. This book also extensively draws upon Professor Wang's works. Additionally, this book has referenced some recently published academic works, including the Essentials of Taoist Scriptures series edited by Zhang Qinghua, with The Inner Canon of the Emerald Immortal translated and annotated by Liu Zhenya and Chen Zili, Gu Jiu's Complete Translation of the Inner Canon of the Emerald Immortal, and others. Gratitude is expressed to all of them.
