The principles of the square and the circle, and the principles of immortality, are the central themes of this book. Comprehending the Dao and cultivating the Way are its foundations, while its distinctive feature is the cultivation of the mundane immortal.
In ancient China, traditional medicine used zhuyou arts, which involved extraordinary abilities such as external qigong, psychic power, chanting spells, and summoning heavenly gods or possessing spirits from beyond the stars to heal the sick. Later, these practices branched off from traditional medicine and became folk practices of immortal healers and witch doctors. Immortal healers attained their status through cultivation and treated people with spells, incantations, psychic power, suggestion, and other techniques. Along the shores of Baima Lake in Huai'an, Jiangsu, they served as incense masters who healed the sick and drove out ghosts. “Incense master” meant a leader who knew how to burn incense. To hold the title, one had to have children and grandchildren, demonstrating that the family line had not died out. One also needed a moderately prosperous household, since without such means it was hard to earn patients' trust.
Centered on the principles of the square and the circle in the cultivation of mundane immortals, this book recounts the cultivation journeys of Sun Banxian, Chen Banxian, and the immortal healer Chen Xiangtou. Sun Banxian, Chen Banxian, and Chen Xiangtou cultivate the worldly art of making wishes come true. They seek a comfortable life, good looks, blessings, longevity, and the reincarnation of their souls. Square and Circle Cultivation is grounded in reality, values rationality, and focuses on the human heart.
