Synopsis
Traces of a Daoist Immortal is a Daoist-infused tour de force on the Daoist mountain hermit Chén Tuán $$$ (Xiyí $$$ [Infinitesimal Subtlety]; d. 989) and his fellow "hidden immortals." Breaking various academic taboos, including hyper-historicism, social constructivism, and conformist mentalities, here Komjathy, in an aspirational gesture towards unbridled inquiry, offers annotated translations and scholarly introductions to ten major works associated with the Daoist immortal. The book also contains a cutting-edge, mythopoetic introduction that addresses the life and legend of Chén Tuán, his connection to the Western Marchmount of Huàshan $$$ (Mount Hua; Huàyin, Sh&acaron;nxi), Daoist views about sleeping, dreaming, waking, as well as Daoist time-being., A study, including annotated translations, of materials associated with the Daoist mountain hermit and eventual immortal Chén Tuán (Xiyí [Infinitesimal Subtlety]; d. 989). Includes explorations of Daoist views and practices related to sleeping, dreaming, and temporality., Traces of a Daoist Immortal is a Daoist-infused tour de force on the Daoist mountain hermit Chén Tuán (Xiyí [Infinitesimal Subtlety]; d. 989) and his fellow "hidden immortals."
