During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Peng Dingqiu, a scholar from Changzhou, compiled the 28-volume Daozang Jiyao (Compendium of the Daoist Canon), which included 100 late-emerging Daoist texts that had not been included in the Daozang, totaling 280 volumes. During the reign of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, the assistant minister Jiang Yuanting compiled and printed the book in Beijing. It included 173 Daoist texts, all of which were taken from the Zhengtong Daozang (Authentic Daoist Canon) of the Ming Dynasty, and was a selection of the essential texts of the Daozang. In the 32nd year of the Guangxu reign (1906), the abbot of the Erxian Temple in Chengdu, Yan Yonghe, and Peng Hanran of Xinjin initiated a reprint, with He Longxiang of Jingyan participating in the revision and adding the “Continued Compilation of the Essentials of the Taoist Canon.” The current version is the Erxian Temple version. The book has 245 volumes, and the number of Taoist books has increased to 287, including 114 new Taoist books, all of which are not included in the Ming Dynasty's “Taoist Canon.” The entire book is arranged in the order of the 28 constellations. The characters are carved on both sides of the pear wood, and there are more than 14,000 pieces. In 1957, it was moved to Qingyang Temple and has been preserved to this day. It is the only existing plate in the Taoist scriptures today. After the policy of religious freedom was restored, Qingyang Temple printed and sold the book in a thread-bound format. In 1986, Bashu Publishing House reprinted and published it.
