The folk characters in Taoist scriptures play an essential role in the Chinese folk characters. For, they have important research value in the compilation of dictionaries, the collation of ancient books, and the study of Chinese folk characters. However, they have not yet attracted insufficient attention. There are many errors in the folk characters of the scriptures handed down from ancient times, and the problem of missing collation is also very common in the proofreader’s copy of Zhonghua Taoist Scriptures. Based on this, the paper examines and proofreads some difficult, vulgar, and corrupted folk characters, hoping to be beneficial to the collation of the Taoist scriptures.
