Declarations of the Perfected is the first complete, annotated
translation of Zhen'gao, Tao Hongjing's (456-536) masterful
compilation of the Shangqing or Higher Clarity revelations, setting
the stage for the heyday of medieval Daoism. The present volume
presents the Declarations' second part (fasc. 5-8), which focuses
on the various difficulties that Daoist practitioners are likely to
encounter in a dangerous world, and how to overcome them. It begins
with instructions of a more general nature, before moving on to
problems faced specifically by Xu Mi (303-376) and his family and
fellow officials. This volume also sheds much light on the history
of its time-the kinds of moral and philosophical issues that were
being debated, as well political intrigues in the Eastern Jin
court.
