The Chongxuan School (Chinese: 重玄, pinyin: Chóngxuán) was a Taoist philosophical current influenced by Buddhist Madhyamaka thought.[1] It first appeared in the fifth century, and was influential from the eighth to tenth centuries during the Tang dynasty. It was not a structured philosophical school; it was identified and named by the Daodejing commentator Du Guangting (杜光庭, 850-933).[2][3] Chongxuan's most important representatives were Cheng Xuanying (成玄英, fl. 631-655) and Li Rong (李榮), both from the seventh century CE.
Chongxuan is also an appellation of the immortal embryo in internal alchemy,[4] or Neidan, reflecting some influence of Chongxuan thought on Neidan.[5]
