Abstract
In this talk, I will attempt to trace how the notion of the treasure texts (and the accompanying rites of their transmission) evolved in China in the formative period of ca. 2-5th centuries AD. I will also attempt to trace the continuities with antiquity and the innovative developments of this period.
