Short title	The Sacred Writing of Knowledge: Interpreting the True Form Charts of the Man-Bird Mountain in Taoism
Author	Linbo Cai
Image title	The True Form Charts of the Man-Bird Mountain (��, or TFCMBM) are important ritual images created by ancient Taoists. Scholars envisage them as the �fairy mountain map� (��) or �fairyland picture� (��) imagined by ancient Taoists. However, TFCMBM is actually a description of the mechanism of the �convergence of celestial and terrestrial qi�(��) in the human body. According to ancient Chinese medicine, the mechanism of the inter-induction of qi (��) controls the transmission and transformation of food, circulation of qi-blood in the body, and generation and storage of vital essence. Ancient Taoist priests referred to the mechanism of the inter-induction of qi as �regulating qi in Central Yellow� (��) and as a kind of image, �the true shape of the human bird mountain� to guide novice Taoists in meditation (��) and activating qi (��). This study argues that the TFCMBM is a portrayal of the mechanism of the inter-induction of qi and reveals the Taoist method of writing sacred knowledge and its cognitive nature.
