Synopsis

"Tai Xuan", also known as "Tai Xuan Jing", "Yangtze Tai Xuan Jing" or "Xuan Jing", is a work written by Yang Xiong, a scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, which is used to explain his philosophical system and cosmology. In order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Kangxi's name in Sikuquanshu, it was renamed "Taiyuan Jing". "New Book of Tang·Yiwenzhi" is composed of twelve volumes, and "Wenwen Tongkao" is composed of ten volumes. "Tai Xuan" combines the theories of Confucianism, Taoism and Yin and Yang. He first summarized the concept of "Xuan" from "Laozi" "Xuan Zhi Xuan", centered on Xuan, and established a metaphysical system according to the classification of the three realms of heaven, earth and man. "Tai Xuan" believes that everything can be divided into nine stages from development to prosperity to death. The last sentence of "Xia Ke Xing" by Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, "Bai Shou Tai Xuan Jing", refers to this book.

Reader comments

I think it is a bit like "Laozi", both exploring the mysteries of the universe and life. However, "Tai Xuan Jing" pays more attention to the application of numbers and images, which reminds me of "Yi Jing". Entrepreneurship is like the development of things mentioned in the book, with ups and downs. We must constantly adjust during the process to ultimately achieve success. This book gave me a lot of inspiration, and I recommend you read it too.

A Novel That Records True Taoist Mantras.

I want to read a book similar to "Tao Fa Xuan Ling". The heroine of this novel grew up with her uncle from the Quanzhen sect. I have practiced many Quanzhen sect's fundamental inner and outer elixirs. Later, the bond with the eight major sects of Zhengyi and the confrontation with the Yinshan sect are part of the novel.
