This handbook provides key information on the Daoist tradition in an easily accessible yet highly readable format. It contains a coherent collection of thirty articles by major scholars in the field and presents the latest level of research available today. A highly useful resource for both scholars and students.

Thirty major scholars in the field wrote this new, authoritative guide to the main features and development of Daoism. The chapters are devoted to either specific periods, or topics such as Women in Daoism, Daoism in Korea and Daoist Ritual Music. Each chapter rigidly deals with a fixed set of aspects, such as history, texts, worldview and practices.
Clear markings in the chapters themselves and a detailed index make this volume the most accessible key resource on Daoism past and present.

Livia Kohn, Ph.D. (1980) in Chinese Studies, Bonn University, is Professor of Religious Studies at Boston University. She has published extensively on the Daoist tradition and its mysticism and mythology, including Early Chinese Mysticism (1992), The Taoist Experience (1993), Laughing at the Tao (1995) and God of the Dao (1998).
