    Three volumes of mysterious books on Taoism, unlocking the wisdom of spiritual practice. If you are yearning for Taoist classics but are stuck in the obscurity of classical Chinese, these three volumes of mysterious books that use stories to explain mystical principles will definitely make you suddenly enlightened. "The Legend of Lao Jun's Journey to the West" can be called the key to entry into the mysterious classics. It takes the legend of Lao Jun's Westward Journey as the main line, and integrates the profundity of the Tao Te Ching, the philosophy of the Tai Ping Jing and the subtlety of "Bao Pu Zi" into vivid stories, making boring classics vivid and easy to understand, and easily opening the door to Taoist wisdom. Stargazing was an important way for the ancients to explore the heaven and earth. "Wenshi Zhengdaolu" takes a different approach and teaches the method of stargazing through interesting stories. There is no need to memorize theories by rote. By following the plot, you can master the secrets of stargazing and feel the mystery of the movement of heaven and earth. "Prince Xuanyuan's Cultivation Record" is more attractive. It takes the cultivation process of Emperor Zhenwu as the context and narrates the Yinxian sect's cultivation techniques. The story has ups and downs, and the techniques are explained in simple and profound terms. It is not only addictive to read the story, but also allows you to understand the true meaning of cultivation. Three good books, using stories as boats, will take you on a journey through the sea of ​​Taoism. They are worth reading!
