The Shangqing Precious Mirror Diagram for Longevity
The author of The Shangqing Precious Mirror Diagram for Longevity is unknown. Judging from its content, it should be a text of the Shangqing School compiled during the Six Dynasties, or the Sui and Tang dynasties.
It is a one-volume work and included in the "Spiritual Diagram Category" of the "Dongxuan Section" in the Taoist Canon (Daozang).
The text contains three "Precious Mirror Diagrams for Longevity" and four "Bright Mirror Diagram Talismans". Each diagram is decorated with mirror inscriptions, the Eight Trigrams (Bagua), Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches (Ganzhi), Chinese zodiac signs, celestial luminaries, and talismanic scripts respectively.
A piece of inscription is recorded before the diagrams, briefly stating that the divine mirror has the power to subdue demons and connect with the spiritual realm.
