Her domain extended to protecting animal mothers, not just human ones.

The Huahujing zh c p Hu h j ng w Hua Hu Ching l Classic on Converting the Barbarians is a Taoist book. Although traditionally attributed to Laozi , some scholars believe it is a forgery because there are no historical references to the text until the early 4th century CE. According to Louis Komjathy 2004 48 , the Taoist Wang Fu originally compiled the Huahujing circa 300 CE, and the extant version probably dates from the 6th century Northern Celestial Masters . The text is honorifically known as the Taishang lingbao Laozi huahu miaojing , The Supreme Numinous Treasure s Sublime Classic on Laozi s Conversion of the Barbarians . A copy of the Huahujing was discovered in the Mogao Caves near Dunhuang , and Liu Yi 1997 believes the original text dates from around the late 4th or early 5th century. Emperors of China occasionally organized debates between Buddhists and Taoists , and granted political favor to the winners. The Taoists developed the Huahujing to support one of their favorite arguments against the Buddhists, writes Holmes Welch 1957 152 , their claim that Lao Tzu had gone to India after his westward departure from China , and had converted or become the Buddha . Buddhism then was only a somewhat distorted Schism religion offshoot of Taoism. Thematically the text covers much of the same ground as the Tao Te Ching elucidating on the concept of the Tao the ineffable universality, often described as a force, principle or path, that pervades everything and everyone. The Huahujing makes reference to holistic medicine, Taoist meditation, feng shui , and the I Ching . The text has been translated into English by Brian Walker and by the Taoist priest Hua Ching Ni. The Brian Walker translation is in a spare, almost poetic form reminiscent of many translations of the Tao Te Ching.
