Indeed, although this is an unrenowned document in China, it is considered a religious classic in the west. The western curiosity for this book is mainly attributable to psychologist Carl Jungs commentary on his friend Richard Wilhelms translation of the text.</p><p>The secret of the golden flower is primarily a Daoist text, but is also heavily influenced by Chan Buddhism, especially when it comes to inner alchemy and meditation techniques. Some references to Confucianism are present as well. An interesting aspect of this text is that its a relatively modern Chinese reflection on its long history of philosophical and religious traditions. Indeed, it constantly references classical texts from Chinas long spiritual tradition.</p><p>With that being said, it can almost be considered a new age classic, in the same way as figures like Jung have incorporated the contents of this book into their new age thinking.</p><p>But what did figures like Jung see in this text? And should we regard it in the same light as him? It all began when Carl Jung read a version of the book that was translated by his sinologist friend Richard Wilhelm - and immediately (erroneously) recognized descriptions of psychological processes in the text. But as Carl Jung was unable to read Chinese, he did not notice the many mistakes Wilhelm made throughout the translation, that misled Jung into thinking that this book was in line with his western way of thinking. First of all, Wilhelm was of the impression that the text represented the ideas of an ancient Chinese christian tradition that went back to the Tang dynasty, one and a half millennia ago. This has obviously been a pseudo-scientific misconception. Second of all, neither of them noticed that the text that Wilhelm translated, was actually a recension of a corrupted version of the text.</p><p>But what is the true value of the text then? On the surface, the book is a quite cryptic and esoteric manual of meditation (just like the Indonesian Sang Hyang Kamahayanikan, which I have translated for another e-book). But it is also entirely up to you what the true meaning of this text is, as I have once again compiled this book as a work of reference - particularly for those that are learning Chinese, in this order per chapter:</p><p>Traditional Chinese version</p><p>Simplified Chinese with Pinyin version (how to pronounce the Chinese characters)</p><p>English translation</p><p>As you might have guessed, this is the complete and original version of the text. Unlike the most popular version created by Richard Wilhelm and Carl Jung.</p>...1230009129764_Rueben Vorstenboschlibro_electonico_1230009129764_1230009129764Rueben VorstenboschInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/0b763fbd-0601-4eda-bb50-d8ad4143a7d5-epub-d54b51e1-6a66-4dad-93fe-72fc74a8fd85.epub2025-06-18T00:00:00+00:00Rueben Vorstenbosch
