Yellow Court Classic

Synopsis

The Yellow Court Classic (simplified Chinese: 黄庭经; pinyin: Huángtíng-jīng), a Chinese Daoist meditation text, was received from an unknown source by Wei Huacun, one of the founders of the Shangqing School (Chinese: 上清), in 288 CE. The first reference to the text appears in the archives of the famous alchemist and collector of Daoist texts, Ge Hong, in the 4th century.
