The text gives twenty-two numbered prohibitions, each followed by a celestial penalty measured in loss of lifespan/“calculations” (算).

The code regulates:

  • travel;
  • orthodoxy;
  • alcohol/meat;
  • speech;
  • family conduct;
  • sexual behavior;
  • money/property;
  • transmission;
  • violence;
  • secrecy;
  • ritual authority.

It is therefore both a moral code and a jurisdictional constitution for early Daoist religious life.
