During this period, the Daoist classics on self-cultivation and well being still cites the Buddhist theory of the "Four Noble Truth". For example, ‘*Xin Ming Gui Zhi*’ [Principles of Balanced Cultivation of Inner Nature and Vital Force] compiled by a senior student of Master Yin Zhenren (identities of both are still unknown) describes exercise methods based on “Five Elements” and simultaneously also discusses "Four Noble Truth" for peace and harmony.
