RELIGIOUS
Divination books were repeatedly banned in imperial China. They ranged in topics from mystical Confucianist fortune-telling, to yin-yang, to astrology, to the eight trigrams, such as the Back-Pushing Sketch (Tuibei tu 推背圖), the Precious Scrolls of Pure Yang (Chunyang baojüan 純陽寶卷), etc. Buddhist sutras and Daoist scriptures suffered from the same miserable fate in certain historical periods such as the Northern Wei and the Northern Zhou. Similarly, with the introduction of Western religions to China in Qing dynasty, Christian and Catholic canons were also banned for several times.
