Yin Fu Ching

Yin Fu Ching is supposed to contain the very root and essence of Taoism, this classic explain cosmological correspondences, the Tao of Heaven, Yin and Yang, the Wu Xing, and biospiritual techniques. It is one of the most interesting and important in the Taoist canon. All scholars agree in attributing it to a very remote antiquity. Tradition ascribes its authorship to the mythical Emperor Huang Ti, or one of his six Ministers; If this were true, we should be able to trace its existence at least as far back as the Shang dynasty, or say twelve hundred years before Christ.

Zhang Boduan (987-1082), in his Wuzhen pian (An Essay on Realizing Perfection), said: "The treasured Yinfu jing consists of more than three hundred words(Chinese characters) whereas the inspired Tao Te Ching has five thousand characters. All those who attained immortality in the past and attain it in the present have comprehended the true meaning of these scriptures."

Fu means a seal, divided into two parts. On one half of this seal we have the visible phenomena of the world around us; this we can all see, but, the diagram being incomplete, we require the other half of the seal, that bearing the of Heaven or the Unseen World, before we can understand the why and the wherefore of the existing order of things. In this book the two halves of the seal are professedly brought together, and we are thus enabled to perceive the hidden harmony which runs through all things where before we could see nothing but discord, and are presented with an explanation of all the mysteries of the world, the secret coincidences between the Seen and the Unseen, of which in our unenlightened state we are profoundly ignorant.

The Yin Fu Ching classic has been translated into English, French, Italian, German, Russian, and Japanese. I prefer the translations of James Legge (1891) and adopt it as the english version of my ebook.
