The Shangqing Jade Palace Spirit-Flying Six Jia Talismans
The Shangqing Jade Palace Spirit-Flying Six Jia Talismans (Shangqing Qionggong Lingfei Liu Jia Lu) are early talismans of the Shangqing School, presumably dating to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties (317–589 CE).
Sandong Fengdao Kejie Yifan (The Ritual Norms and Precepts for Upholding the Dao in the Three Grottoes) records the entry "The Shangqing Supreme Jade Palace Spirit-Flying Six Jia Talismans"—this refers to the present text.
The surviving version today consists of one scroll and is included in the Zhengyi (Orthodox Unity) Section of the Daozang (Taoist Canon). This text discusses the technique of "contemplating the Six Jia Jade Maidens and swallowing the divine talismans of the Six Jia."
Its content is largely identical to that of The Shangqing Jade Palace Spirit-Flying Six Jia Left, Right, and Upper Talismans, with only slight differences in wording and talisman diagrams. It is presumably a different version of the same Taoist text.
See the entry for the aforementioned text for further reference.
