Tales Of The Dancing Dragon - Stories Of The Tao by Eva Wong.

Eva Wong, the author, continues the tradition of storytelling, chronicle the history of Taoism and the evolution of its teachings in this book. The sources for the stories are the storytellers of Hong Kong and the chronicles known as the wild history (yeshi) of China.

Arranged chronologically from prehistory through the early twentieth century, these stories introduce the schools in the Taoist lineages, and capture the defeats and victories of Taoism, its periods of decadence and decay, and its renewal, maturation, and spiritual triumph. Wong puts these stories into context, and shows that Taoism is a dynamic spiritual tradition, constantly changing - and being influenced by - history.

Author: Eva Wong is an independent scholar and practitioner of Taoist arts and a well-known translator of Taoist texts. Her other books include Tales Of the Taoist Immortals, Seven Taoist Masters, Feng-Shui, Lieh-tzu and more.
