Assembling the entire Daoist Canon into a single PDF
-
2024-08-13 at 6:01 PM UTCI thought it would be funny to copy paste entire sections of Daoist Canon in Chinese as spam but it turns out those lazy chinks never bothered to put the shit on the REAL internet, only their fake communist internet that sucks. As a result you can only find sparse ENGLISH translations of about 1% of the entire DAOIST canon which is 1440 TEXTS/BOOKS est 50 million characters long
Using the power of AI and technology and amphetamines I will fit all of this onto a single PDF and then finally I can simply highlight 20,000 characters at a time and spam the entire DAOIST canon on the forum. I call this project "THE DAO SPAM CANNON"

第一章
1 道可以说﹐但不是通常所说的道。名可以起﹐但不是通常所
起的名。
2 可以说他是无﹐因为他在天地创始之前。也可以说他是有﹐
因为他是万物的母亲。
3 所以﹐从无的角度﹐可以揣摩他的奥妙。从有的角度﹐可以
看到他的踪迹。
4 有与无只是说法不同﹐两者其实是一回事。既是有又是无﹐
这就叫玄。
5 玄之又玄啊，宇宙间万般奥妙的源头！
原文 1道可道﹐非常道。名可名﹐非常名4 。
4通 常 译 为 ‚ 可 以 说 出 来 的 道 ﹐就 不 是 永 恆 不 变 的 道 ‛ ﹐ 强 调 道 是 不 可 言
说的。但这样的翻译﹐等于一开始就剥夺了老子言说真道的可能性和可靠性。
其实‚常‛字在《老子》中多为‚通常‛之意。另一方面﹐‚道‛字﹐到老子
之 时 ﹐ 已 经 用 得 很 泛 ﹕ 有 ‚ 道 路 ‛ 之 意 ﹐ 如 《 易 经 》 ‚ 履 道 坦 坦 ﹐ 幽 人 贞
吉‛﹔有‚王道‛之意﹐如《尚书》‚无有作好﹐遵王之道‛﹔有‚方法‛之
意﹐如《尚书》‚我道惟宁王德延‛﹔又有‚言说‛之意﹐如《诗经》‚中冓
道德经：老子原文与译文
14
2无﹐名天地之始。有﹐名万物之母。
3故常无﹐欲以观其妙。常有﹐欲以观其徼。
4此两者同出而异名﹐同谓之玄。
5玄之又玄﹐众妙之门。
之言﹐不可道也‛。《尚书序》﹘相传为孔子所作﹙说﹕‚伏牺﹑神农﹑黄帝
之书﹐谓之三坟﹐言大道也。少昊﹑颛乙﹑高辛﹑唐﹑虞之书﹐谓之五典﹐言
常道也‛。这里用了‚常道‛一词﹐指一般的道理。又有冯友兰先生考証说﹐
古时所谓道﹐均为人道﹐到了老子才赋与道形而上学的意义。可见﹐老子要宣
示上天大道﹐必须一开始就澄清概念﹐强调他下面要讲的道﹐绝非人们一般常
指的道﹐不是一般的道理﹐即非‚常道‛﹐而是……是什么呢﹖就要听老子娓
娓道来了。The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2024-08-13 at 7:49 PM UTCI learned today that high density Chinese characters are about 4x more expensive for the AI to process, and I hit my limits with everything in about an hour not even translating anything. I can see why only 1% has been translated into English in hundreds of years. The amount of manpower needed to process such data even with AI is very high in terms of cost no matter which way you cut it. That's probably why nobody bothers because any attempt is an eternal time/money sink

取蒜七瓣，正月一日正面向東，令婦人念之一遍，夫亦誦一遍，次第丈夫吞蒜一瓣，吞麻子七枚便止。丈夫正面向東行，誦滿七遍，不得見穢惡，受持之法，不用見屍喪，見即無驗。吾躡天剛游九州，聞汝產難故來求，斬殺不祥眾喜投，母子長生相見面，不得久停留，急急如律令。

天無樑，地無柱，五騎三龍使，九虎押運鬼，汝身長少許，或在人心肝，或在人心肺，或在人心膂，吾受東海王禁，故來追捉汝，急急如律令。
禁運鬼法
先禹步三匝，左手持刀，右手持水，努目急氣，然後禁之、噴之曰：唾，東方青運鬼，字青姖，年七十；南方赤運鬼，字赤姖，年六十；西方白運鬼，字白姖，年五十；北方黑運鬼，宇黑姖，年四十；中央黃運鬼，宇黃姖，年三十；唾天皇地皇、六律九章，是公運子之鬼，未嫁之女，頭亂如筐，腹脹如莒，克害忠良，唾汝急出，不得留藏，汝若不去，吾遣張丞伯捉汝縛送鑊湯，急急如律令。一云：運子之鬼，未嫁之女，頭亂如筐，腹脹如莒，但行人間，不見運女，唾之還本主，速出速出，更不見汝，張丞伯王問，驅殺運鬼數萬千，速斷姻緣，東唾無辜，惡見運鬼來相呼，南唾無極，惡見運鬼來相逼，唾三寸刀，二寸刃，先治反支，卻治運唾，太山東門一把葦，舉高十丈治運鬼，初來如辟蜂，不著餘處當眉聚，一杯水唾運去，須臾不去當自死，急急如律令。
禁產難方
先禁水一杯與服之，乃禁曰：天有陰陽，地有五行，星辰列布，日月精明，四時變化，不失其常，骨肉已成，四體已強，毛髮已就，今是生時，生遲何望，河伯在門，司命在庭，日月已滿，何不早生，若男若女，司命須汝，促出無遲，並持胞衣，急急如律令。 -

Can't copypaste from a hardcopy. I'm lucky that I live 20 years into the internet age so the vast majority of the DAO CANON is already on the internet, in Chinese. The problem people seem to have is that everyone wants to translate it all into English first, before anything else. That will not be done for over 100 years and you can just turn on a translator to read the shit so it seems pointless to me.
And it seems like most people try to do that, realize how much work it is before their eyes glaze over and they try to forget this exists with only the most autistic nolife basement dwelling nerd asians that live on a mountain and have 20,000 scrolls in their basement to do this kind of work. But SOMEONE actually spent the time to type all this shit into a Chinese keyboard and put it on the internet. It's just a matter of finding and assembling them all.
Which will still probably take 50 years even with AI supercomputers. If the Chinese government started investing into AI cluster networks in the 90s analog fax machine era they might have been 50% completed by now but even they seem to have given up sometime in the early 2000s (and I don't blame them) -

If you think this is effort then you might begin to understand why I actually turn down job offers at this point in my life for shit work. Get back to scrubbing toilets instead of shitposting on NIS all day, they don't pay you to fuck the dog! -

Even one second of your time on the reams of bullshit you post is too much effort -

2024-08-15 at 2:53 PM UTCThere are entire books dedicated to just listing collections of various Taoist canon books
The style is clear and elegant, but rather more concise than that of the preceding work. It leaves out the four disputed Books (XXVIII to XXXI); but all the others are followed by an elaborate discussion of their scope and plan.
" Taishang Yuanshi Tianzun said the wonderful sutra of extending one’s life "
Fifth, The Nan-hwa Classic of Kwang-zze Explained,' published in 1621, by a Hsüan Ying or 3ung(宜穎 宜顧; the name is printed throughout the book, now in one of these ways, now in the other), called also Mâu-kung. The commentary is carefully executed and ingenious; but my copy of the book is so incorrectly printed that it can only be used with caution. Mr. Balfour appears to have made his version mainly from the same edition of the work; and some of his grossest errors pointed out by Mr. Giles arose from his accepting without question the misprints of his authority.
Sixth, 'Independent Views of Kwang-zze (莊子獨 見);'-by Hû Wăn-ying, published in 1751. Occasionally, the writer pauses over a passage, which, he thinks, has defied all preceding students, and suggests the right explanation of it, or leaves it as inexplicable.
It only remains for me to refer to the Repertories of 'Elegant Extracts,' called by the Chinese Kû Wăn, which abound in their literature, and where the masterpieces of composition are elucidated with more or less of critical detail and paraphrase. I have consulted nearly a dozen of these collections, and would mention my indebtedness

The picture above is a screenshot from a PDF. I didn't think the majority of DAOIST text would be in PDF format I kinda expected it to be on 100000 various webpages scattered but it turns out there are many sources like entire book series that have very neat lists and ways to find what you're looking for. The sources all seem to lead ultimately to digital scans of scrolls. A lot of the leg work has been done already owing to the great wisdom of Taoism's exponential growth in understanding which I hope to contribute to.
there are ocr thing that can take snapshots of a full page of chinese texts and output it to any format you want.
theres even handheld scanner that do nothing but digitalize chinese texts.
Progress is coming along much better than expected thanks to the help of the ancestors and technology spirits
1 Thus the Confucian learning and its worthies were to the system of the Tâo only as the waters of the Ho to the great sea. I have translated here as if the reading were尾間, which is given by Lin Hsî-kung. The correct reading, however, so far as depends on editions and dictionaries, is 尾間; which is explained in the Khang-hsî dictionary as 'a great Rock in Fû- sang on the East,' against which the water of the sea collects, and is all evaporated !
You know shits getting real when you start having issues with vertical ching chong text. I gotta code my own custom word editor that can interpret letters in both directions at the same time. Notepad++ has crashed several times from Chinese overload
