This sees like an incredibly difficult text to attempt, due to the difficulty of discerning what is meant by the, I think, deliberately ambiguous daoist theory! I'm amazed you attempted this, much less renedered it intelligible.
This style of story-telling, which is about, like, attesting to the scholastic linneage? of someone, is so interesting in what it is not interested in. Like ,the gap between: "Although her husband Youyan was next door, the visitors were silent and he didn’t know about them.
Later her husband Youyan died, and it happened that the whole world was in turmoil."
Wow, I guess something happened there!
I'm also intrigued by the slipperiness of transcendence. Like, it's unclear at times whether we're dealing with heaven or earth, or if there's even an important boundary there.
