Xiaodao Lun
The Xiaodao Lun is an anti-Daoist polemic written in 570 for the Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou (543–578) by the Buddhist courtier Zhen Luan. After holding several inconclusive debates in the court, Emperor Wu commissioned the ''Xiaodao Lun'' as one of two reports examining the suitability of sponsoring either Buddhism or Daoism as a state religion for the Northern Zhou dynasty, with a view towards unifying China. The ''Xiaodao Lun'' mocked Daoist practices, accused Daoists of plagiarizing Buddhist texts, and portrayed the religion as dangerous to social stability. Its advice was disregarded by the Emperor, who supported the preservation of Daoism, but his dynasty was ultimately short-lived. Zhen Luan's ''Xiaodao Lun'' is preserved in the Chinese Buddhist canon and is consulted for its quotations of Daoist texts that have not been preserved until today.
==Background==
The Buddhist ''sangha'' in China held Buddhism to be superior to Daoism, whose canon it regarded as "heretical" (''xié'' ) and "false sutra" (''wěijīng'' ). Daoists, for their part, published the ''Huahujing'' in the 4th century, which argued that Chinese Buddhism was a simplified form of Daoism, developed during the travels of the Daoist philosopher Laozi while he was in India. One organized Daoist-Buddhist debate was organized in 520 by the Northern Wei dynasty (386–535), and a second was organized in 570 by the Northern Zhou dynasty (557-581), prompted by the proposal by the Buddhist Wei Yuansong () to make the Emperor a divine Buddhist ruler and to weaken the Buddhist ''sanghas independence from the state.
The debate was inconclusive, so the Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou (543–578) commissioned comparative reports on the suitability of Buddhism and Daoism as state religions, resulting in the ''Xiaodao Lun'' by official Zhen Luan, and ''Erjiao Lun'' () by Dao An.〔 Submitted in 570 as the ''Xiaodao Lun'', Zhen's report denied that Daoism had any value and ridiculed the religion's exorcisms, talismans, and internal inconsistencies.〔〔
