Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Sydney (Australia), 1988.

Compiled at the turn of the fifth century AD by the young but retired Chinese scholar-official Tao Hongjing, Declarations of the Perfected (Zhengao) provided much biographical information on early Superior Clarity (Shangqing) Daoism in China. This thesis examines the divine and mortal female figures portrayed in Declarations of the Perfected in order to discern their role and function.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Compiled at the turn of the fifth century AD by the young but retired Chinese scholar-official Tao Hongjing, Declarations of the Perfected (Zhengao) provided much biographical information on early Superior Clarity (Shangqing) Daoism in China. This thesis examines the divine and mortal female figures portrayed in Declarations of the Perfected in order to discern their role and function.
520 $a Declarations of the Perfected was compiled at a time when the adherents of religious Daoism were seeking political and social respectability, as well as attempting to combat the influence of the foreign religion of Buddhism among the Chinese educated class. A prerequisite for raising the social status of Daoism was that women, who had been an integral part of early religious Daoism, should conform to the Confucian ideal and no longer appear to play an active role in religion.
520 $a Part One of this thesis traces the historical background of religious Daoism. The functions of the female wu in early Chinese religion are also described in order to show the fundamental similarity of her activities to those of later practitioners of religious Daoism.
520 $a Part Two analyses the presentation of women in major Daoist movements up to and including Superior Clarity Daoism. It is apparent from this analysis that the activities of the female divinities of Declarations of the Perfected had much in common with those of early Chinese wu.
520 $a Female wu were a major component of the religion of southern China; these women and their writings were transformed in the male imagination into female divinities who dictated sacred scriptures to mortal males. This is the reason there were so many female divinities and so few mortal women in Declarations of the Perfected. Many of these female divinities were recorded in texts of later periods, where the wu aspects of their writings (dictations) were ignored while their divine (scriptural) aspect was emphasised.
