Fact & Legend
史实与传说
📚 Historical Fact
Lu Xiujing (陆修静) was the great cataloguer and systematizer of Taoist scriptures. He organized the Taoist canon (道藏) into the Three Caverns (三洞) classification system — Dongzhen (洞真, Highest Clarity), Dongxuan (洞玄, Numinous Treasure), and Dongshen (洞神, Three Sovereigns) — a framework still used today.
He also standardized liturgical procedures across traditions, creating a unified ritual order that allowed different schools to worship together. His work turned Taoism from a loose collection of local traditions into an organized religious system with a shared canon.
