Taoist canon

Wikipedia

 
The Taoist Canon (Chinese language|Chinese 道藏, pinyin D??o Z??ng), is a voluminous collection of Taoist writings, containing well over a thousand texts. Its most well known members would be the Dao de jing and the Zhuang zi, but most are concerned with Taoist alchemy, Taoist divination|divination, Taoist history|history or other, non-"philoshophical" types of Taoism.

There is not one Taoist Canon per se. Rather, there are a number of different canons, some of which have now been lost. Some were associated with a particular school, such as Lingbao or Shangqing; some were published under Imperial edict. Even those belonging to a particular school often include the texts of other schools also, and sometimes even popular texts from other Chinese religious traditions (Confucianism or Buddhism.)
