全称《老子西升经》,约魏晋出,假托老子西升开道竺乾、为关令尹喜说道德之后复授道要,凡三十九章。葛洪《神仙传》已及“西升”。核心命题:伪道养形,真道养神;神能飞形,形为灰土;生我者神,杀我者心;我身乃神之车、舍、主,主人安静神即居之。虚无生自然,自然生道,道生一,一生天地。强调归志守一、恬淡思道、捐欲入无;丹书万卷不如守一;哀人不如哀身,哀身不如爱神含神守身。批判声色滋味为祸本,主张清静无为、抱元守一以过度神仙。与化胡说相关,重神轻形、守一反本,是早期道教义理与养神学之要典。
⚡ Ứng dụng: 修道者据以辨析真伪道、重神轻形,实践守一、捐欲、清静无为,作为西升养神与关尹传道之理论依据。

Laozi’s western departure teaches that the Dao is realized by inward ascent and non-contention, not by clinging to empire, form, or even the teacher’s body. The scripture proves that “going west” is a philosophical vector: leave the gross for the subtle until spirit unifies with Dao.
1) In BaZi metal-west emphasis years, practice release of control and soft strength rather than forced breakthrough. 2) Use “teacher leaves” logic: techniques are rafts; do not idolize methods after insight. 3) Convert career/fame peaks into tests of non-attachment per Xisheng themes. 4) Daily: reduce one contention; observe qi settling as proof. 5) At dusk (west), review and empty the day’s grasping.
Unlike narrative Laozi biographies that historicize the western gate exit, Xisheng Jing philosophizes departure as path structure. Unlike dense neidan metaphor, its language stays classical Daoist paradox. Difference: movement west = ascent by renunciation.
