○東封畢。詔加司命真君為九天司命保生天尊。勅兩街道士修齋醮科儀。命知樞密院王欽若。定羅天醮儀十卷。選道士十人校道藏經。舊錄三千三百三十七卷。欽若詳定增六百二十卷。賜名寶文統錄。御製序以冠之。初奉詔取釋道藏經互相毀訾者。並刪除之(今老君實錄載王欽若言。老子化胡經乃古聖遺迹不可削。王公有識鑑未必自此語也)。
After the completion of the eastern feng sacrifice, an imperial edict added the title of True Lord Controller of Destinies to be the Heavenly Worthy of the Nine Heavens Who Controls Destinies and Protects Life. An imperial edict ordered Daoist priests of the Two Streets to revise the liturgical rituals for retreats and offerings. Wang Qinruo, Administrator of the Bureau of Military Affairs, was commanded to establish the Ritual for the Universal Heaven Offering in ten fascicles, and ten Daoist priests were selected to collate the scriptures of the Daoist Canon. The old catalog contained 3,337 fascicles; Qinruo reviewed and finalized it, adding 620 fascicles, and it was bestowed the title Comprehensive Record of Precious Writings, with an imperial preface placed at its head. Earlier, an edict had ordered that wherever the Buddhist and Daoist canons contained mutual slander and vilification, they should all be excised (the present Veritable Records of Lord Lao records Wang Qinruo saying that the Scripture of Laozi Converting the Barbarians was a vestige of the ancient sage and could not be eliminated; but a man of Wang's discernment would not necessarily have spoken these words).
