The introduction discusses the dynamic character of the Chinese concept of divinity and the qualifications of the human beings who communicated with it through the use of talismans and the ling-bao relationship. Biographical material concerning Yang Xi, the visionary responsible for the text, is given. The general nature of the visionary experience of the text is outlined. A summons arrives through dreams, wilderness retreats, or illness. Initiation is given through the direct instruction of higher beings or through mediumistic means and emphasizes the visionary replacement of mortal parts of mind and body with immortal substitutes. The power of visionary flight through the cosmos results. Music provides motivational power for this flight. Trees, flowers, and fruit provide protection and power, as do animals. Human and spiritual figures act as teachers, guides, testers, and spouses. Dangers involve battles with demons, countered by weapons such as mirrors, bells, and knowledge of the demons' names. Rewards include the revelation of esoteric knowledge, marriage with a divine spouse, and access to high mystical realms. Instances of shared symbolism between the Oracles and the earlier Chu Ci are discussed. The general pattern of the cosmic flight is similar in many respects, though often differing in emotional tone. Trigrams, hexagrams, and other symbols from the Yi Jing are used in the Oracles to organize the mundane and supermundane realms. Key figures in the Oracles, human or divine, embody different trigrams or hexagrams at different points in their religious development. Lastly, the importance of the concept of "equalization," apparently derived from Chuangzi, is discussed. "Equalization" is the mental attitude or state of being whereby such opposites as mortal and immortal are united in mystical vision. "Equalization" is embodied in the random (xiao-yao) motion of the immortals. The introduction is followed by a translation of the first scroll of the Oracles, together with footnotes.
