Fifth, a Collection of the Most Important Treatises of the Taoist Fathers ( Tao Tsu Chên Chʽuan Chi Yao ). This was reprinted in 1877 at Changzhou in Jiangsu; beginning with the Tao Te Ching , and ending with the Kan Ying Pʽien . Between these there are fourteen other treatises, mostly short, five of them being among Mr. Balfour’s Taoist Texts . The collection was edited by a Lu Yü ; and the commentary selected by him, in all but the last treatise, was by a Li Hsi-yüeh , who appears to have been a recluse in a monastery on a mountain in the department of Pao-ning , Sichuan, if, indeed, what is said of him be not entirely fabulous.
