So I'm wondering if litzens have any good secondary recs on Daoism. I'm interested in meditation manuals, ritualisms, chinese medicine and alchemy. Anything you'd recommended? Many thanks.

Unless you're reading that shit in traditional chinese everything you read is a secondary source. Some people call it a 'translation'

OP, anything by Thomas Cleary is a safe bet. OG Chad translator who captures the essence more often than not

Thanks. I've seen people post the jade dragon before. Is it something like the coiled serpent or is there more techniques or is it more mystical?

Realistically, what music would have been played and listened to by the Taoists to capture in some way their religion? Please rec.
