The emergence of Taoism during the 3rd through 8th centuries as China's indigenous higher religion affected all areas of culture. This volume, one of a pair by Paul Kroll, brings together twelve studies by this leading scholar of medieval China that illuminate selected aspects of Taoism in texts dating to this period and also considers its influence in the works of the great T'ang-dynasty poet, Li Po. Included here also are essays on the proto-Taoist poem Far Roaming and a monograph on LiPo's use of Buddhism in his poems and inscriptions.
