Collation And Annotation Of Tao Hongjing's Works

Tao Hougjing who lived in the Southern Dynasties was very famous in history. Tao acted as a small official at first, then he sent in his resignation at the age of 37. He withdrew from society and lived in the Juqu Mountain, named Huayang Yinju himself. He was called the Prime Minister in Mountain because the Emperor sought advice about government affairs from him constantly.Tao was a leading personage in Taoism history. He also joined the Buddhism in his later years. At the same time, Tao was an excellent writer. The past scholars mostly fixed their eyes on Tao's contributions to the Taoism thoughts and the sciences and technologies. However, they paid little attention to his great achievements in Literature, which dued to his collected works' lack of collating in a long period.Now, I collect the Tao's works anew, collate and annotate them detailed to provide a good reading book for the people who are interested in the Tao's works.
