Còn gọi Tam giáo đồng nguyên lục, Thần tiên diễn nghĩa. Hệ thống hóa sự tích thần tiên từ thượng cổ đến Minh, ngoài chính tàng; là đại tổng giám tiên truyện dân gian–đạo giáo đời Thanh.
Ứng dụng: Tổng giám tiên truyện lịch đại
A late-Ming illustrated hagiographic encyclopedia (full title often 三教源流搜神大全 / linked to 歷代神仙通鑑 traditions; the well-known 历代神仙通鉴 is a Qing-period expanded divine chronicle). It narrates the genealogies of gods, immortals, and sage-figures across epochs, blending Daoist, Buddhist, and popular cult lore. Used as a reference for iconography, divine offices, and mythic chronology rather than as a liturgical script. Scholarly discussion treats it as a key source for late imperial Chinese pantheon structure and for how local deities were slotted into a universal sacred history.
⚡ Ứng dụng: BaZi practitioners meet these same deities as star-lords, destiny officers, and cult patrons; the text supplies narrative identity for Tai Sui, star spirits, and immortal archetypes used in fate and cultivation discourse.

It proves that sacred history can be synchronized: gods, emperors, and cosmic cycles form one continuous timeline in which spiritual rank is a function of historical position and moral-cosmic office. Immortality is not outside chronology; it is the upper register of the same causal order that governs dynasties. The text’s ‘mirror’ logic claims that reading history correctly reveals the hierarchy of the unseen.
1. Read your life years against larger sexagenary and dynastic-style cycles (大运 as ‘reign periods’ of the self). 2. Treat BaZi luck pillars as office-shifts: when qi aligns with mandate, advance practice; when not, consolidate virtue. 3. Use historical immortal ‘appointment’ stories as models for vocation timing, not only for techniques. 4. Diagnose setbacks as mandate-mismatch before blaming method alone. 5. Keep a personal chronicle linking events, virtue work, and chart periods.
Unlike 广列仙传’s inductive case pile, 通鉴 forces a total timeline—its proof is systemic synchronization. It is more ‘state historiography of Heaven’ than local mountain gazetteer. Compared with 三教源流搜神大全, it privileges chronological integration over encyclopedic deity taxonomy.
