《Taiping Jing, also known as"Taiping Qingling Shu", is a Taoist Taiping Dao classic of the Eastern Han Dynasty that is said to have been awarded to the alchemist Yu Ji by a god. It was written in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty and has 170 volumes.

《The Taiping Jing contains extensive content, covering heaven and earth, yin and yang, the five elements, the ten branches, disasters, gods, etc."The Taiping Jing" reconstructs the early Taoist thought of"the unity of nature and man"; outlines an ideal social picture based on the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and proposes a set of governance techniques of"doing nothing but doing everything"; and proposes the techniques of self-cultivation for Taoist believers. ; It puts forward the concept of retribution for good and evil in terms of shared property and self-reliance, and points out that only when people believe in the correct way can they eliminate disasters and become immortals; it also reflects the simple people-oriented thinking of egalitarianism and ideals of equality.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the"Taiping Jing" played an important role in Taoism and had a profound impact on the development of Taoist thought. It was the main classic of Taiping Taoism in the late Han Dynasty. It was regarded as a prophecy conveying the destiny of heaven and constituted the"three caves" of the Taoism. The Taiping Department in"Sifu" was compiled into the Taoist canons of all dynasties, and was gradually forgotten after the Song Dynasty.

《The Taiping Jing mainly adopts the question-and-answer format, that is, real people (disciples) ask, and gods (celestial masters) answer. The basic content of the"Taiping Jing","Book of the Later Han·Xiang Kai Biography" says:"It is based on worshiping heaven and earth and following the five elements, and it does not have the art of revitalizing the country and inheriting disasters." Fan Ye said:"Based on Yin and Yang The five behaviors are the same, but there are many miscellaneous words"《"The Legend of Immortals" says:"It specializes in matters of Yin and Yang, Taoism, and disasters. There is the way of heaven, the way of earth, and the way of man. Those who govern the country can use it to live forever. This is the purpose."
