Yujing Shanggong Ke Taizhen Wen (The Supreme True Scripture of the Jade Pure Upper Palace Rituals)

Author unknown.

Judging from its content and linguistic style, it was compiled by Taoist priests during the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420–589 CE).

Consisting of one scroll, it is included in the Zhengyi Section of the Daozang (Taoist Canon).

The text opens with Taizhen Wen Jiu Tiao Ke (Nine Precepts of the Supreme True Scripture), exhorting believers to: respect masters and cherish Tao; venerate scriptures and value rituals; abstain from alcohol, lust, abusive language, taking lives, coveting treasures, deception, and contempt for deities.

Following the precepts, the text lists the true names and talismans of the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors, as well as the icons, titles, and talismans of the Eighteen Heavenly Lords. The core purpose of the entire work is to urge practitioners to uphold precepts, contemplate divine truths, and hold sincere thoughts of the celestial realm.
