Record summary
The Taiping jing, or Scripture of Great Peace, is a Daoist corpus concerned with cosmic order, bodily cultivation, ritual governance, morality, and political renewal. It is often linked with the late Han period, but the received text is composite and survives through later transmission, especially in Daoist canonical contexts. The work matters for comparing apocalyptic expectation, healing language, and claims of revealed instruction across religious traditions. Researchers should separate early fragments, later redactions, and modern reconstructions rather than treating the text as a single unchanged revelation.
