《雅宜集》Vol. 8

This passage presents the table of contents and editorial information for Volume 4 of the Daoist scripture Yayi Ji. The main contents include:

First, it lists the compilation team: Principal authorship is attributed to Daoist priest Chen Fuhui (courtesy name Zhongyuan) from Wuyang Yunfeng, with disciples Zhang Benxue, Luo Benzhang and others assisting in compilation. Disciple Wei Benshan oversaw publication, while fellow practitioners including Gao Benhuan and Xu Benshu participated. The final record was kept by successor Sun Liu Hezhi, with engraver Zhu Wenxiu responsible for carving the woodblocks.

Titled "Da Ji" (Collection of Attainments), Volume 4 primarily contains couplets and gathas for various Daoist rituals. These include seasonal prologues organized by calendar periods (such as annual and monthly prologues), seven-character gathas (including festival and memorial gathas), and couplets composed for diverse Daoist ceremonies like Water-Land Grand Purification (Shuilu Hongzhai), Water-Land Ritual Arena (Shuilu Daochang), and Elixir Ritual Services (Jianjiao Fahui). Also featured are couplets created for specific temples (like Changsheng Guan and Shangyuan Gong) and deities (such as City God, River Lord, and Guardian of Waterways), along with ritual couplets for blessings and calamity prevention (praying for clear skies, rain, or locust warding). The volume concludes with four-character and five-character gathas.

These materials primarily serve various Daoist purification rituals (Zhaijiao) and liturgical ceremonies (Keyi), functioning as ritual texts for priests conducting religious services.
