* DAOZANG AND SUBSIDIARY COMPILATIONS
Daozang xubian
Sequel to the Taoist Canon
The Daozang xubian is a collection of twenty-three texts compiled by the
eleventh *Longmen patriarch, *Min Yide (1748-1836). The first xylographic
edition, printed in 1834 on MountJingai (Jingai shan ~JI ill, Zhejiang), con-
stituted the core of the Gu Shuyinlou cangshu 1:1 ~ ~~HI ~ - (Collection of
the Ancient Hidden Pavilion of Books; Qing Xitai 1994, 2: 184-86) also edited
by Min Yide. The scholar and bibliophile Ding Fubao T:ffllW (1874-1952)
reprinted the Daozang xubian in 1952 (Shanghai: Yixue shuju); later reprints
were published in 1989 (Beijing: Haiyang chubanshe) and 1993 (Beijing: Shumu
wenxian chubanshe).
The collection is largely devoted to *neidan teachings and practices, especially
those of the Longmen school. Its texts can be divided into five categories: I.
Doctrinal views of neidan and meditation practices such as those described
in the * Taiyi jinhua zongzhi (The Ultimate Purport of the Golden Flower of
the Great One), better known in the West as Secret of the Golden Flower; 2 .
Psycho-physiological practices; 3. Ethical texts outlining precepts; 4. Texts on
universal salvation; 5. ExegeSiS. For a complete table of contents see table 3·
Doctrines and practices. The first two categories of texts are closely linked to
each other. According to Min Yide, the Secret of the Golden Flower is related
to two manuscripts found in the *Qingyang gong (Palace of the Black Ram)
of Chengdu, both attributed to the legendary Yin zhenren ?~.A. (Perfected
Ym). Their titles are Donghua zhengmai huangji hepi zhengdao xianjing * ~ if
