Hua Shu is a Taoist scripture available in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and continues the trend of the syncretism of Confucianism ,Buddhism and Taoism since the mid-Tang Dy-nasty .The cosmology of Hua Shu inherits the vitality theory in the pre-Qin Taoism .In practice of Taoism it attaches importance to spiritual extrication while sticking to the ideal of “the unity of self and Tao” .In alchemy ,it stresses inner alchemy and exerts a significant impact on Danding and Fulu school .In social and political aspects ,it retains the critical spirit of Laozi and Zhuangzi and analyzes the root causes of social stability and chaos in terms of economic and social production .The aim of Hua Shu keeps the Taoist tradition of self -cultivation and state governance ,while the syncretism of Confucianism and Taoism elevates it to a much higher theoretical level and endows it with obvious his-toric features .%《化书》是出现于唐末五代的道书，延续了中唐以来三教合一的传统。其宇宙论，接续了先秦道家以来的元气论系统；在修道论方面，坚持“与道合一”理想同时呈现出重视精神解脱的特点；在丹道方面，明显重视内丹，对丹鼎派和符箓派都产生重大影响；在社会政治方面，延续了老庄的批判精神，着重从经济和社会生产层面分析社会治乱的根源。《化书》的宗旨，仍是道家传统的理身治国，对儒道思想的吸收又使其具有了更高的理论层次和明显的时代特点。
