In 1983, an English version translated by John Blofeld (1913-1987) was published. Blofeld, the preeminent "China hand" of the 20th century, lived out his youth in pre-Communist China, where he developed an interest in traditional wisdom and philosophy. He'd often visit Buddhist and Daoist temples as well as religious recluses, and through those visits was inspired to become a scholar.
