Chapter 262: Dao Jun (Seeking Points and Receiving Rewards)

That's because Huizong believed in Taoism, built a palace, proclaimed himself the Taoist emperor, and often asked Taoist priests to tell fortunes. His birthday was May 5th, which the Taoist priest considered unlucky, so he changed the name to October 10th, and his zodiac sign was a dog, for which he ordered a ban on the slaughter of dogs in Bianjing. He issued many edicts to search for Taoist books, set up a bureau, sorted out and collated Taoist books, and compiled the "Zhenghe Wanshou Daozang" compiled during the Zhenghe period, which was the first "Daozang" published in China in its country. The "History of Taoism" and "History of Immortals" that he ordered to compile are also the largest history of Taoism and biographies of Taoist deified figures in the history of our country. Song Huizong also personally wrote books such as "The Tao Te Ching of the Imperial Note", "The True Scripture of the Imperial Commentary on the Void to the Virtue" and "The Wandering Guide of the Nanhua True Scripture", which provided complete information for the study of Taoist books in China.
