Paul PengThe Treasury Chamber's Compiled Subtleties
Compiled by Chen Jingyuan, this work was roughly completed in the 5th year of the Xining reign period of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1072).
Consisting of ten volumes, it is included in the Yujue (Jade Commentary) category of the Dongshen Section of the Daozang (Daoist Canon). This work incorporates exegetical interpretations from various earlier scholars and supplements them with the compiler’s own insights, though the sources of most citations are not specified.
Centered on the doctrine of Chong Xuan (Double Mystery), it serves as an important source for the study of Taoist thought in the Song Dynasty.
