This book explores the Daoist encounter with modernity through the activities of Chen Yingning (1880â€"1969), a famous lay Daoist master, and his group in early twentieth-century Shanghai. In contrast to the usual narrative of Daoist decay, this study tells a story of Daoist resilience, reinvigoration, and revival.
