The Tai Ping Jiu Ji Tai Shang Zhong Huang Zhen Jing 太平九极太上中皇真经

Paul Peng

The True Scripture of the Supreme Middle August Sovereign of the Nine Extremes of Great Peace

The author is unknown.

It was not included in the Zhengtong Daozang (Orthodox Taoist Canon).

The Dunhuang fragmentary manuscript (No. S810) is incomplete at both the beginning and the end, with only 32 lines remaining. Shinji Obuchi proposed the book’s title based on its content in his Catalogue of Dunhuang Taoist Scriptures.

The main content of the original book is difficult to fully understand. The surviving part briefly states that various celestial deities, dragons, ghosts, and eight kinds of livestock gathered at the gate of the Dao to listen to the "Supreme Middle August Sovereign of the Nine Extremes" expounding the "spiritual true scripture and the teachings of great peace".
