Tips

history
张君房 edited the Daoist canon for Emperor Zhenzong of Song, and around 1028 drew from it this digest of 122 scrolls on doctrine, cosmology, meditation, breathing, alchemy and the lives of immortals. So much of the canon he worked from was later lost that the book is often called the 'little Daoist canon', 小道藏.
memory
云笈 'cloud satchel' is a poetic name for a case of Daoist scriptures, 笈 being a bamboo book box carried on the back, and 七签 'seven slips' stands for the seven divisions of the canon.
