Chen Rongsheng Ritual Scrolls
This collection of 72 ritual scrolls represents the totality of such scrolls possessed by Daoist High Priest Chen Rongsheng 陳榮盛 of Tainan, Taiwan (b. 1927). They are used in his performances of classical Zhengyi/Lingbao liturgies as well as in funeral services. A few may date from the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), but most are from the late 19th century or later.
