mmortals would descend through the planchette to educate people. Using planchette writing to write down immortals' instructions, composing Daoist books and transmitting Daoist skills thus frequently occurred in history. Lu Dongbin was very influential since the Song Dynasty both in Daoism and among common people. In the Preface to the Complete Works of Patriarch 10 by Chen Derong of the Qing dynasty, it is recorded that Patriarch Lu " made the planchette fly to educate the people; even women and children know his name." Lu Dongbin had descended to Han-san-gong altar in Jiang Xia for forty years and bestowed many scriptures. Some of them have been collected into the Complete Works of Patriarch . In fact, most of the poems and immortal scriptures in that compilation were composed through planchette writing.


There are other Daoist scriptures written by planchette writing, too. Today's Infinite Precious Repentance of Patriarch 11 circulating in Hong Kong was also composed by planchette writing.
