Description
Gain a deeper understanding of Chinese alchemical history with Explorations in Daoism: Medicine and Alchemy in Literature. Part of the Needham Research Institute Series, this work addresses a significant challenge in historical studies: the dating of undated and anonymous texts within the Daoist canon. Since the fifteenth-century compilation of these ritual, alchemical, and meditation texts is central to understanding Chinese religious development, accurate dating is required for historical clarity. Author Ho Peng Yoke provides an extensive compendium of data regarding alchemical knowledge in China. This book describes the specific methods used to date important alchemical texts found in the Daoist canon. By reconstructing and translating various alchemic works, the text offers a way to place these writings accurately within their historical context. This is an essential resource for researchers and students interested in the history of Asia and the evolution of ancient Chinese scientific and religious practices.
