Tokoutei

A Chinese Taoist priest of the Five Dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty. His pen name was Binsheng and his title was Dong Yingzi. He was from Chang'an or Shuzhou. He first took the Nine Classics examination in the Imperial Examination but failed, and later went to Mount Tiantai to study under the Taoist priest Ying Yi Jie. In 881 (Zhonghe 1), he accompanied Emperor Xizong (reigned 873-888) to Chengdu in Shu, where he stayed and served the father and son Wang Jian (reigned 907-918) and Wang Yan of Former Shu, eventually becoming Kobu Jiro (Officer of the Interior) and receiving the titles of Hironari Sensei and Denshin Daishi. He was a great scholar representing the Taoist world in the late Tang and Five Dynasties period, and made great efforts in collecting and compiling the scattered Daoist texts. In addition to the Dao Dao Zhen Jing Guang Sheng Gi, in which he developed his own theory based on Xuanzong's commentary while selectively incorporating existing commentaries on the Laozi, he also wrote many other works, including the Daomen Kehan ​​Dai Zenshu, Taishang Huang Luozhai Yi, and Guangcheng Shu.

中国、唐末・五代の道士。字(あざな)は賓聖(ひんせい)、号は東瀛子(とうえいし)。長安の人、もしくは処州の人。最初、科挙の九経(きゅうけい)の試験を受けたが合格せず、のち天台山に入って道士応夷節(おういせつ)に学んだ。881年（中和1）に僖宗(きそう)（在位873～888）に従って蜀(しょく)の成都に行き、同地にとどまって前蜀の王建(おうけん)（在位907～918）・王衍(おうえん)父子に仕え、官は戸部侍郎(こぶじろう)に至り、広成先生、伝真大師の号を受けた。唐末・五代の道教界を代表する碩学(せきがく)で、散逸していた道蔵の収集、編纂(へんさん)に尽力した。玄宗注を基にして在来の『老子』注を取捨選択しつつ自説を展開した『道徳真経広聖義』のほか、『道門科範大全集』『太上黄籙斎儀(たいじょうこうろくさいぎ)』『広成集』など多数の著がある。
