The first volume is the "Changxuan" volume, the second is the "Lun Xian" volume, the third is the "Jie Su" volume, the fourth is the "Jin Dan" volume, the fifth is the "Zhi Li" volume, the sixth is the "Wei Zhi" volume, the seventh is the "Kai Nan" volume, the eighth is the "Xie Zhi" volume, the ninth is the "Dao Yi" volume, the tenth is the "Ming Ben" volume, the eleventh is the "Xian Yao" volume, the twelfth is the "Bian Wen Wen" volume, the thirteenth is the "Ji Yan" volume, the fourteenth is the "Qin Qiu" volume, the fifteenth is the "Zashi Ying" volume, the sixteenth is the "Huang Bai" volume, the seventeenth is the "Deng She" volume, and the eighteenth is the "Di Zhen" volume. The nineteenth volume of "Extensive Reading" and the twentieth volume of "Dispelling Doubts". The right table of contents is determined according to the original version of the Taoist Canon. According to the Inner Chapter of Baopuzi, this part is also called the Inner Chapter, which consists of twenty volumes and follows different sequences from the Outer chapter. The outer chapters are self-narrated as follows: There are twenty volumes of the inner chapters and fifty volumes of the outer chapters. It is also said that its inner chapters discuss matters such as immortals and prescriptions, the transformation of ghosts and spirits, health preservation and longevity, as well as warding off evil spirits and disasters, which belong to Taoism. The outer chapters discuss people's gains and losses in leisure, the judgment of the world, and belong to Confucianism. The inner chapters of the Sui Dynasty's Book of Classics and Records also belong to Taoism and are separated from the outer chapters. Although the Daozang Collection includes additional chapters, they were not originally combined into one volume. After observing the inner chapters and before the outer ones, it is clearly understood that they are separated by a kind of leisure, which is to hold the meaning of Pu Zi. The Ming people engraved this book and took it out of the Daozang. However, they did not know that it belonged to three types and thus collectively named it Baopuzi. This is not the case. This school journal has twenty volumes of inner articles and does not include outer ones, aiming to restore the old style of Ge and correct the mistakes of the Ming people. The old Book of Tang and the bibliographies of various schools all consist of twenty volumes. The "Sui Annals" consists of twenty-one volumes, pronounced as one volume, or with an additional preface and pronunciation, it becomes twenty-two volumes. The sound has been lost for a long time. The preface to the Taoist Canon is placed before the first volume, so the number of clouds is not listed here. Perhaps one wonders why, since the other purpose is self-contained, it is not found in the self-narrative. In the collection of the Taoist Canon, there are also one volume of the "Treatise on Health Preservation" by Baopuzi and the "Comparison and Verification Techniques" by Zhichuan Zhenren, three volumes of the "Treatise on the Golden 汋 of Immortals" by Baopuzi, and the "Treatise on the Myriad Spirits of Metal and Wood" by Ge Zhichuan, but none of them are found in the self-description. However, the other point is exactly the same as this example; none of them were written by Zhi Chuan. On the fifth day of the tenth lunar month in the sixteenth year of the Jiaqing reign, it was recorded by Sun Xingyan, a layman named Song.
