Tui Peng Wu Yu (推篷寤语)'Tui Peng Wu Yu' (推篷寤语) is a work comprising nine volumes and a supplementary volume titled 'Yu Lu' (馀录). It was written by Li Yuhen, a native of Songjiang, during the Ming dynasty. Li Yuhen, whose courtesy name was Yuanjian, authored the work with the intention of awakening people to the truths they might otherwise overlook, hence the title 'Tui Peng Wu Yu', which translates to "Pushing Back the Canopy and Awakening."
In his preface, Li Yuhen explains that just as a boat's canopy can obscure one's view, a person's ignorance can be a barrier to understanding. The book aims to dispel this ignorance and bring clarity. The work is divided into six sections: 'Ce Wei' (测微, Measuring the Subtle), 'Yuan Jiao' (原教, Origin of Teachings), 'Ben Shu' (本术, Fundamental Techniques), 'Huan Zhen' (还真, Returning to Truth), 'Ding Yi' (订疑, Resolving Doubts), and 'Pi Zheng' (毗政, Governmental Advice). These sections are further subdivided into thirty categories, comprising a total of 550 chapters.
According to Huang Yujì in his 'Qian Qing Tang Shu Mu' (千顷堂书目), the book is listed as having twelve volumes. However, the original edition consists of only nine volumes, indicating a likely error on Huang Yujì's part.
'Tui Peng Wu Yu' draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary knowledge, incorporating the author's own insights. It includes discussions that often touch upon the teachings of Buddhism and Daoism, particularly in the 'Yuan Jiao' and 'Huan Zhen' sections, which are notably eclectic and sometimes contradictory. The supplementary volume, 'Yu Lu', contains letters exchanged between Li Yuhen and his friend Zhou Sixian, focusing on themes of spiritual cultivation and self-improvement. These discussions, while reflecting the interests of the time, are considered less significant in the broader context of the work.
Overall, 'Tui Peng Wu Yu' remains a noteworthy text from the Ming dynasty, offering a blend of philosophical and practical insights, albeit with a strong emphasis on religious and mystical themes.
