Sobre este artículo
Printed in black ink with 12 illustrations in red ink. 82 folding leaves. Small 8vo, orig. wrappers (some foxing), orig. stitching. [China]: [1921?]
A rare edition of a Daoist scripture received by Dong Lin 董淋 through so-called planchette or spirit writing. The "great unity," referring to the pole star, is an important deity in Daoism. In spirit writing, the text is received by a medium who writes characters that are then interpreted. Our book contains explanations of schematic figures which are not regular Chinese characters. There is also a series of diagrams in red ink that might be Daoist talismans. The upper margin contains a commentary by Huidi. A stamp on the outside cover states that you are not allowed to read the book without the proper training.
A note at the beginning of the book specifies that the text was received at the spirit-writing altar in Ji'nan in the 12th month of the gengshen year, which should correspond to early in 1921.
Fine copy.
