much interest for the student of this tradition. Pre-Song and Northern Song
sources otherwise lost but preserved in the Daoshu include the "Huanjin pian"
(Reverting to Gold; I2.Ia- b); excerpts from the Huanyuan shi ii jf; ~ (Verses
on Reverting to the Origin; I2.Ib- 5b) by ZhangWumeng *~~ (Qing Xitai
1994, I: 307-8); and several texts belonging to the Zhong-Ui corpus, such as
the above-mentioned Huanjin pian (attributed to *Liu Haichan) and Baiwen
pian (trans. Homann 1976).
In his capacity as Compiler of the imperial library, Zeng Zao had access
to a wealth of documents and books. His method, however, was not always
accurate as some texts were paraphrased, arbitrarily abridged, or wrongly
copied. Zeng's own addition to the anthology consist of two rhyming couplets
placed at the head of each section to summarize its content, some essays, and
comments occasionally interspersed in the main body of a text.

Daoshu shi'er zhong

Twelve Books on the Dao

The Daoshu shi'er zhong is a collection of works written by *Liu Yiming (1734-
1821), a master belonging to the *Longmen lineage of *neidan. First printed in
1819, it contains a total of nineteen works consisting of both original writings
and commentaries to earlier texts. The collection developed around an earlier
compilation of twelve works entitled Zhinan zhen f~l¥iH (The Compass),
which was later included in the Daoshu shi'er zhong with a preface dated 1801.
The original twelve works (two of which bear in the present Daoshu shi'er
zhong new prefaces by Liu Yiming dated later than 1801) are the following:
1. Yinfujing zhu ~r-r~:ff: (Commentary to the Scripture of the Hidden
Accordance; 1779; trans. Cleary I99Ia, 220-38), on the *Yinju jingo
2. Qiaoyao ge zhijie ~3t m:xlIffl~ (Straightforward Explication of the Songs
Metered According to the Hexagram Lines), on a text ascribed to *Lii Dongbin
and included in the Liizu zhi g tfl it, (Monograph of Ancestor Lii; CT 1484,
6·5a-9a).
