8.11

When one extinguishes emotions and rids oneself of desires, the mind of the Dao illuminates the true. The followers of the Ban clan falsely fabricated the Yellow Book (Huangshu), using unfounded incantations against leprosy to suppress slight scoffs. (The incantation says: 'The Heavenly Dao is finished, the three and five are accomplished, the sun and moon are bright. Exiting the deep, entering the dark, qi enters, true qi penetrates, spiritual qi spreads, Dao qi circulates; treasonous, depraved, ghostly bandits all perish. Those who look at me become blind, those who listen to me become deaf. If any dare to plot against me, they shall conversely suffer calamity. I am auspicious, and they are ominous.' Coming to the jiazi year, an edict commissioned a sacrificial register where men and women copulated without distinction of high and low. Lu Xiujing of Wu also diligently practiced this).
