Quotes by Kristofer Schipper (?)

“In recent years the world has seen the development of a kind of fictitious Taoism which is propagated in popular kung-fu movies. There also is nowadays a form of purely theoretical Taoism adhered to by intellectuals, therapists, acupuncturists, and public service officials (serving on the "National Association of Taoism") of the Chinese government. But true Taoism is not merely a cult, nor a system, nor a therapeutic technique. It is, above all, the liturgical structure of local communities; it therefore belongs to the daily life of the people.”

“Dans le rituel, les Écrits Réels sont transcrits en caractères spécifiques étrangers, appelés yun-tchouan (sceaux nuageux), assez semblables aux idéogrammes chinois archaïques. Ces tchen-wen apparaissent pour la première fois dans un ouvrage de Lou Sieou-tsing, le T’ai-chang t’ong-hiuan ling-pao tchong-kien-wen ( Tao-tsang 190), où l’on trouve également leur « traduction » : ce sont des formules évoquant les souffles des cinq points cardinaux (les neuf souffles de l’Est, les trois souffles du Sud, l’unique souffle du Centre, etc.) et les divinités (ti ou Lao-kiun ) correspondantes. Nous avons comparé ces textes à d’autres écrits du canon taoïste, où ils portent généralement le titre de Yuan-che wou-lao tche-chou tchen-wen , et nous avons ainsi pu constater qu’ils n’avaient guère changé.
1973 - Rituel Taoiste”

“La métaphore, tout d'abord, ne relie pas seulement le corps humain à l'univers dans son ensemble, mais surtout à un pays, voire à un paysage : « le corps humain est l'image d'un pays (yi-jen tche chen, yi kouo tche siang) », disent les Taoïstes du Moyen Age. Et, depuis l'époque Song, le corps humain a été représenté sous les apparences d'un paysage, avec des montagnes et des lacs, des forêts et des habitats. Paysage ou pays qui constitue aussi un royaume, avec son administration : le cœur est le prince, les autres viscères ses ministres, le sang son peuple, etc.
Recherches sur le corps taoïste 1976”
