Commentary on the “Yīnfú jīng” with Hymns Inserted
Yuán Quánzhēn commentary by Wáng Jiè 王玠 (zì Dàoyuán 道淵, hào Hùnránzǐ 混然子; fl. 1331) of Nánchāng 南昌; three juan; preserved in the Zhèngtǒng Dàozàng 正統道藏 (DZ 0127 / CT 127 = TC 126), 洞真部 本文類
About the work
A three-juan Yuán commentary by the prolific Quánzhēn 全真 adept Wáng Jiè 王玠 (zì Dàoyuán 道淵, hào Hùnránzǐ 混然子; fl. 1331), a native of Nánchāng 南昌 (Jiāngxī). In his undated preface, the author gives his own interpretation of the term Quánzhēn 全真 by stating that it means the completeness of essence (jīng 精), breath (qì 氣), and spirit (shén 神). The commentary is largely centred on cosmological and nèidān 内丹 considerations. The authority for cosmological theory is Shào Yōng 邵雍; for inner alchemy, both Zhāng Zǐyáng 張紫陽 (= Zhāng Bóduān 張伯端) and the patriarchs of the Xīshān 西山 tradition (e.g., Shī Jiànwú 施肩吾; 3.5b). At the end of each paragraph of the commentary there is a hymn.
This Wáng Jiè is the same author as [[KR5a0101|DZ 101 Tàishàng shēngxuán shuō xiāozāi hùmìng miàojīng zhù]] (on DZ 19).
