Books by Ho Peng Yoke

The Daoist canon is the definitive fifteenth century compilation of texts concerning ritual, alchemical and meditation practices within Daoist religion. This book brings together a compendium of data on alchemical knowledge in China, describing the methods used for dating important alchemical texts in the Daoist canon.

This is the first book in any language that attempts to make an academic study of three sophisticated devices known as sanshi, used in the Chinese astronomical bureau in the 11th century.
