The Taiji jilian neifa (太極祭鍊內法 Inner Method of the Great Ultimate for Oblatory Refinement), written by Zheng Sixiao 鄭思肖(1241-1318), has attracted wide scholarly attention as a ritual text that reflects the penetration of inner alchemy practice into public salvation rituals. This paper analyzes the origins of Zheng’s text, drawing out some key concepts that are features of his method, such as inner sublimation, sitting quietly, mind, and sincerity, to show the possible influence of Neo-Confucianism on Daoist rituals. Zheng’s ideas have found their way into the ritual compendia of the Ming-Qing dynasties, such as Lingbao wenjian dacheng 靈寶文檢大成, Shangqing lingbao jidu dacheng jinshu 上清靈寶濟度大成金書, and Taiji jilian ke 太極祭鍊科. In addition, through detailed analysis of the ritual manuals that flourished in the Song-Yuan dynasties, this paper demonstrates the sharp differences between the ritual texts compiled by a non-Daoist, Zheng Sixiao, and those by Daoists such as Jin Yunzhong 金允中 and Wang Xuanzhen 王玄真. |
