Dao Xin Ren Qing: Chinese Gods and Immortals in Chinese Fiction

Features: This book is part of the series "Daoism in Modern Perspectives." The series is characterized by its structure, where each book stands alone yet collectively forms a collection, much like the vastness of the "Siku Quanshu" (Four Treasuries). The books are compiled either around a single theme or by categorizing them by form. 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 divination and worship, while others delve into health preservation and fiction, covering a very broad range. If there is any unifying element, it is that all the discussions center on Daoism, and they are presented from a modern perspective.
