DaoZheng

The first compilation of the DaoZheng occurred during the Sung Dynasty, when it was catalog and printed in 1019. Kublha Khan decided in 1281 that he had enough of the Daoists, and ordered all of their sacred texts to be burned. This conflagration peaked in 1289. The resulted in the reduction of the Daoist Cannon from 4565 volumes of the Sung Edition to 1120 volumes of the Ming Edition.
