Features: In recent years, with the revival of cultural undertakings, more and more people have become interested in studying traditional Chinese culture. Daoist literature, with its colorful and fascinating features, has attracted the attention of people both at home and abroad, truly being a treasure waiting to be deeply explored. This renowned work, which enjoys the reputation of "Little Daoist Canon" and "Little Encyclopedia of Daoism," was compiled during the Northern Song Dynasty. After Zhang Junfang compiled the Song Dynasty collection "Great Song Tian Gong Zang Bao," he selected its essence for convenience and ease of reference, resulting in this work. Today, with the long-lost Song Dynasty collection, this book has become even more precious, as it preserves a significant portion of ancient literature that was nearly lost. This book is not just a Daoist text; due to its rich content, it is also a valuable resource for those studying various aspects of traditional Chinese culture, such as philosophy, medicine, chemistry, astronomy, geography, folklore, qigong, and human science. The book was originally planned to include various indexes, such as titles, names of people, names of gods, names of places, names of medicinal substances, and names of qigong methods.
