The subject of our seminar this term will be the structure and contents of the Taoist canon (Daozang 道藏). We shall begin with a basic orientation to the history of Taoism in China and the history of the study of Taoism in the West. We will survey the history of the canon’s formation and read selected texts from the canon in English translation. Students will also be introduced to the use of specialised research tools for the study of Taoism such as dictionaries, concordances, indices and databases. There is a vast body of scholarship on Taoism in European and Asian languages. We can read and discuss only a fraction of that work in this seminar; students are encouraged to put together their own working bibliographies that reflect their particular interests.

The present article focuses on the general description and analysis of the Taoist Studies in China. Taoism is the organized, indigenous religion of China. Taoism as native Chinese religion came into being toward the end of the Han dynasty. Although Taoism represents a tradition as ancient as any other major religion, the serious study of this tradition in China has been almost entirely a twentieth-century phenomenon. The beginning of serious efforts to understand Taoism in China can be dated to about 1930s, when Xu Di-shan and Fu Qin-jia published their works. Some outstanding Chinese scholars of that period showed interest in Taoism, and many of their studies are still not outdated. Some well-known Chinese scholars had published on Taoism in Hong Kong, Australia and Taiwan. But until 1980s Taoist Studies in China remained the domain of “lone scholars”. The situation changed in 1978, and in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century the Taoist Studies in China fast flourished. Present-day China is the world leader on Taoist Studies development.
