Daozang (道藏), or the Daoist Canon, is a collection of selected texts related to Daoism and various Daoist religious and other practices. The article presents its historical develop-ment, from the first catalogues of Daoist texts compiled in the 5th century, through the first proper Daozang in the 8th century, to the latest edition, published in 2021, which is available to Slovenian audience. The individual editions differed in their selection of texts, size, and internal structure. The history of the Daozang is intertwined with and grounded in the history of Daoism and Daoist traditions over time.
