to Japan long ago as mentioned above. The same also holds true for Korea. Therefore, many Japanese and Koreans have written a great number of works about Taoism which provide and strengthen the valuable resources for the study of Taoism.
Since more and more scholars all over the world are interested in studying Taoism, there is a need to compile a bibliography of Taoism by native authors who often have a better understanding of Taoism than the outsiders. This is the reason why this bibliography is compiled. It is the compiler's hope that this bibliography will be of assistance to all those who are interested to study the rich and variegated aspects of the Taoist tradition.
THE BIBLIOGRAPHY
This bibliography is in no way a comprehensive one. However, it lists the most important works on Taoism. It is divided into ten categories as follows:
1. General works
2. Bibliographies and indexes
3. Sacred books
4. History of Taoism
5. Taoist doctrines
6. Biography of Taoism
7. Relationship with Confucianism and Buddhism
8. Alchemy and hygiene
9. Immortals
10. Periodicals
The authors' names and titles are romanized, but followed by the original characters. For example:
Chao, Yü-hsiu. San chiao yueh yen. Hong Kong, 1970.
趙聿修,三教約言,香港,圓玄學院,1970.40, 39p.
Under each heading, all works are arranged alphabetically by author. If the work is edited by an editor(s) or a compiler(s), it is entered by the title.
This bibliography has been compiled principally for scholars who, like the author, are located in North America, and addresses itself mainly to works that are available in libraries in that area.
