Taiqing Section
It is the third section of the Four Assistants in the classification system of Taoist scriptures, serving as a supplement to the Dongshen (Grotto of Spirits) Section.
According to Volume 6 of Yunji Qiqian (Seven Tablets in a Cloudy Satchel), the Taiqing Section takes Taiyi (the Supreme Unity) as its core tenet, and "its content mainly focuses on the essentials of golden elixir alchemy and also records the rituals of apocryphal and astronomical observations".
Taoist Doctrine Essentials holds the same view.
The existing version of the Daozang (Taoist Canon) collects more works of Laozi, Zhuangzi and other Taoist philosophers but fewer books on alchemy, which is inconsistent with the above statement.
