Taishang ganying pian
The script Taishang ganying pian ( Chinese 太 上 感應 篇 , W.-G. T'ai-shang kan-ying pien - "Treatise on deed and retribution / Scripture on the causes and effects (of sin and merit)", also short referred to as Ganying pian 感應 篇 ) is an influential treatise on Chinese folk religion from the Song Dynasty, which is attributed to the Daoist tradition . According to Zhe Yueli, the work was written between 1101 and 1117. It is an important source on Chinese religious history .
It belongs to a genre of religious treatises, the quanshan shu勸善 書 (or 善 书 [善 書] shànshū), which encourage moral action. The scriptures are believed to have been revealed by Taishang laojun (Taishang laojun 太上老君) and emphasize the ability of the deity to reward and punish. The three worms ( sanchong ) and the ruler of fate ( siming ) report to heaven . Depending on the severity of the sin, life is shortened and, with good deeds, extended. Whoever wants to become an earthly immortal (cf. xian ) requires three hundred good deeds, for him who wants to become a heavenly immortal one thousand three hundred ("夫 欲求 天仙 者 ， 當 立 一千 三百 善。 欲求 地 仙 者， 當 立 三百 善。 ").
Popular moral books of this type combined Daoist beliefs of longevity and immortality , Confucian ethics, and Buddhist ideas of karma, and were extremely popular in modern Chinese times.
The text was translated into French by Stanislas Julien (1835) and into English by James Legge ( Texts of Taoism ), Balfour, Suzuki / Carus and Eva Wong , among others . The work is known by many English titles.
