  • The Man-Bird Mountain: Writing, Prophecy, and Revelation in Early China

    Fabrizio PregadioARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The Taoist Canon ( Daozang ) contains a remarkable illustration entitled Renniao shan tu , or Chart of the Man-Bird Mountain , found in a text originally dating from the mid-fifth century. Other Taoist works describe this mountain as the ultimate origin of revealed scriptures and even of the entire Canon. In this article, I examine three main themes related to the Chart . The first is the role of birds in traditional accounts of the origins of Ch…

  • The Alchemical Body in Daoism

    Fabrizio PregadioARTICLEJournal of Daoist Studies2021

    This paper surveys some of the main features of the view of the human body in Daoist internal alchemy (neidan 內丹). The first sections discuss three different terms that refer to the body; cosmological, political, theological, natural, and alchemical metaphors used to describe it; and the use of the body as a support for the system of correspondences that tie the human being to the cosmos. On this background, the development of internal alchemyclo…

  • Superior Virtue, Inferior Virtue: A Doctrinal Theme in the Works of the Daoist Master Liu Yiming (1734–1821)

    Fabrizio PregadioARTICLET oung Pao2014

    The Daoist master Liu Yiming (1734–1821) frequently mentions “superior virtue” and “inferior virtue” ( shangde and xiade ) in his works. In his view, these terms define two aspects, or degrees, of Neidan (Internal Alchemy), respectively focused on “non-doing” ( wuwei ) and “doing” ( youwei ), and concerned with the cultivation of Nature ( xing ) and Existence ( ming ). This article presents Liu Yiming’s main writings on this subject and their bac…

    The Encyclopedia of Taoism provides comprehensive coverage of Taoist religion, thought and history, reflecting the current state of Taoist scholarship.

  • The Notion of "Form" and the Ways of Liberation in Daoism

    Fabrizio PregadioARTICLECahiers d Extrême-Asie2004

    Dans certains textes taoïstes et des sources liées à la cosmologie classique, la « forme » (xing) est représentée comme étant le seuil entre le Dao et les objets. Elle est non seulement considérée comme une étape ontologique et cosmogonique se situant entre les « images » (xiang) et la matière (zhi), mais aussi comme le sanctuaire de l'esprit (shen). C'est à ce propos que l'appendice Xici au Yijing dit : « Ce qui est au-dessus de la forme s'appel…

  • The Representation of Time in the Zhouyi Cantong Qi

    Fabrizio PregadioARTICLECahiers d Extrême-Asie1995

    Attribué aux Han mais remontant dans son état présent aux Tang, le Zhouyi cantong qi, associé originellement aux Apocryphes et à la tradition exégétique du Livre des Mutations, met en lumière un autre aspect du rapport entre Taoïsme et Apocryphes traité magistralement par Anna Seidel dans son étude "Imperial Treasures and Taoist Sacraments ". La représentation de l'œuvre alchimique dans le texte étudié ici se base en partie sur des conceptions co…
