Zhouyi Cantong Qi (The Three Ways Unified and Normalized of
the Book of Changes), written by Wei Boyang of the
Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), is an important canon of the Taoism and also
called as Cantong Qi (Three Ways Unified and
Normalized).
The principal part of Zhouyi Cantong Qi
includes three sections and two attached articles (Wuxianglei and
Dingqige). Zhouyi Cantong Qi mainly explains the Taoist's method
to make pills of immortality and cultivate vital energy (i.e. the Dan
method, including the active substances out and in the body).
Cantong Qi uses the theory of Yellow Emperor and Laozi as its theoretical basis,
therefore it employs many terminologies used in the theory of Yellow Emperor and
Laozi. Cantong Qi also describe the results of
cultivation.
