The database of the image and related text of Taoist charms (Fu), which appear in the Taoist ritual book "Dao-fa Hui-yuan", has been built to help researchers in this college. And many analysis tool has been built up, for example, analysis system of "Parts", which is component of "Fu". However, if researchers want to use these tools, they are not useful unless the relation of the forms and the meanings of "Parts", which is given to each "Parts" in analysis style are definitly. The former database didn't contain all "Fu" and "Parts" of "Dao-fa Hui-yuan". Therefore, analysis tools couldn't use for research of "Dao-fa hui-yuan". In this study, we created "Fu" and "Parts" data which appear in "Dao-fa Hui-yuan" after volume 56, and created a classified list of "Parts". We analyzed about the tendency of distributions of "Parts", taking the relations of "Parts" and their meanings into consideration, and considered the relations of the tendency of distributions to Taoist sects.
