Abstract This paper attempts to answer the questions : What was Ge Hong trying to do when he wrote the Baopuzi ? What were his arguments ? And why, within the context of the time, were these arguments significant ? In answering these questions, the essay claims that there is a unified set of ideas concerning humans, sages, and the spirit world in the Baopuzi. Moreover, it is a set of ideas that underlies both the inner and outer portions of the text.

  • The View of Ziran in the Inner Chapter of Baopuzi
    Academic Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences ISSN 2616-5783 Vol.3, Issue 6: 81-88, DOI: 10.25236/AJHSS.2020.030608 The View of Ziran in the Inner Chapter of Baopuzi Wang Jin1,*, Ding Qun2 1.Beijing Normal University, Beijing, 100875, China 2.Shandong Foreign Trade Vocational College, Shandong, 266100, China *Corresponding Author ABSTRACT. Ge hong's thought of “ziran” basically extends the meaning of “ziran” in the tao te ching, but in the extension, he pushes the scope of application of “ziran” to a metaphysical world, a physical natural existence and human society. Moreover, he believes that transcendental “ziran” and realistic “ziran” are closely related. People can change or even create realistic “ziran” by grasping transcendental “ziran”. His special understanding of “ziran” also provides important examples and theoretical support for his thought of “immortals can be acquired through learning”. KEYWORDS: Ziran, Baopuzi, Ge hong 1. Introduction As a famous Taoist in the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong’s thoughts have a tremendous influence. Joseph once called him “the greatest alchemist in Chinese history” [1]. Although he was a Taoist, he was not a man of blind faith at that time, but a man with high scientific literacy. As his classic work, Baopuzi also embodied this strong scientific nature. Joseph also said that the “earlier chapters of his Pao phu Tsu contained some scientific thinking at what appears to be a high level”[1]. Although Ge Hong defined the inner chapter of Baopuzi as “saying yellow and white” in author's preface, and later generations usually praised Ge Hong's contribution to the golden elixir thought of Taoism, Ge Hong also focused on another core issue in the inner chapter of Baopuzi -” Immortals (shenxian 神仙) can be acquired through learning “(shen xian ke yi xue zhi 神仙可以学致)[2], “ziran 自然” is a core concept used by Ge Hong in solving this problem, just as Chen Kewen said “Ge Hong's philosophy of “ziran” is the theoretical basis of his theory of immortals.

  • Luis Roncero Mayor La Tradicion Esoterica Taoista Tesis De Doctorado
    UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE MADRID FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS Tesis doctoral LA TRADICIÓN ESOTÉRICA TAOÍSTA: LOS FUNDAMENTOS DE LA ALQUIMIA INTERIOR TAOÍSTA Y SUS CORRESPONDENCIAS EN LA ALQUIMIA MEDIEVAL ESPAÑOLA Luis Roncero Mayor Directores de la tesis: Taciana Fisac Badell José Ramón Álvarez Méndez-Trelles Departamento de Lingüística, Lenguas Modernas, Lógica y Filosofía de la Ciencia, Teoría de la Literatura y Literatura Comparada. Programa de Doctorado en “Lengua, Literatura y Sociedad” AGRADECIMIENTOS En primer lugar, quisiera agradecer a mis dos tutores: Taciana Fisac y José Ramón Álvarez. Además de contar con su valiosa dirección y guía durante la redacción de la tesis, Taciana Fisac me ha apoyado en todos mis proyectos desde que empecé a estudiar chino en 1996 en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, y ha sido un apoyo imprescindible para mi desarrollo académico. Sin su experiencia escribir esta tesis habría sido mucho más tedioso; el gran pesar que habría sentido cuando estaba estancado en algunas secciones posiblemente me habría hecho abandonar. Por su parte, José Ramón Álvarez ha compartido conmigo sus profundos conocimientos sobre el Daodejing y el taoísmo, que tan presente está en el día a día de la sociedad taiwanesa. Además, han sido muy valiosas también las historias reales de la vida en Taiwán y cómo las relaciona con la mentalidad taoísta. Ambas perspectivas han servido de complemento fundamental para redactar algo que se habría quedado en pura teoría. A mis progenitores no sólo es menester agradecerles por haberme dado el mayor regalo—la vida—sino también por haberme mostrado la importancia del trabajo y de la responsabilidad.

The antidote is silver or gold placed near the ears, which will draw the toxin out. See Zhang Zhongjing, Jingui yaolüe, juan 25 (Ctext). The opposite also holds, and mercury can be used to counter gold poisoning.

  • Zhu Xi and Daoism: Investigation of Inner-Meditative Alchemy in Zhu
    Chapter 29 Z!" Xi and Daoism: Investigation of Inner-Meditative Alchemy in Z!" Xi’s Theory and Method for the Attainment of Sagehood James D. Sellmann 1 Introduction In a sense Z"# Xi’s philosophy would not be possible without Daoist cosmology and self-cultivation practices. Daoism provides the beginning and end of Z"# Xi’s philosophy in that his philosophy begins with the Diagram of the Great Polarity or Taijitu , and it ends with his later life interest in Daoist self-cultivation and breathing techniques. This is a bold claim. This chapter will explicate why Daoism plays such an important role in his philosophy. In this chapter, I present a critical interpretation of the Diagram of the Great Polarity or the Taijitu , The Seal of the Unity of the Three in the Zhou Book of Changes or the Zhouyi Cantongqi , and The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of the Secret Talisman or the Huangdi Yinfujing to show that Z"# Xi was in$uenced by Daoist inner-meditative alchemy (neidan dao ). In particular, I argue that Z"# Xi’s approach toward the cultivation of sagehood requires an investigation and application of inner-meditative alchemical (neidan) practices. Although Julia Ching has presented a comprehensive study of Z"# Xi’s spiritual interests in Daoism (Ching 2000: 152–70), Judith Berling showed the intricate relations of Daoism and Neo-Confucianism (Berling 1979: 123–47), and C"%& Wing-tsit exposed Z"# Xi’s indirect in$uence from Daoism (Chan 1975: 131–44), someone might want to dismiss Z"# Xi’s interaction and in$uence from the (so- called religious) Daoist practices of neidan inner-meditative alchemy.

  • Accumulating Good Deeds from Chapter 6 the Tools of Craft (The
    Excerpt From T H E T A O O F C R A F T Accumulating Good Deeds I have added this section because in my personal practice, I have found it to be pertinent. While my views on morality should not have any bearing on your approach to craft, I have included this section for its historic relevance. Historically, many lineages, such as the Zhen Da Tao lineagei and Quan Zhen,ii espoused moral accounting or moral cultivation as inextricable from the cultivation toward immortality. Immortality seems ambitious, but I will address my interpretation shortly. The rise in publication of morality books (善書, shàn shū), authored by practitioners of esoteric Taoism in the 1100s AD, also merged occult practice with doctrines of benevolence.iii Circa AD 316 to 317, the alchemist Ge Hong wrote the Bao Pu Zi, one of the classic Taoist texts on esoteric Taoist practices.iv The text offers Ge Hong’s instruction on achieving immortality. To become an “Earthly Immortal,” a practitioner needs to accumulate 300 good deeds. To become a “Heavenly Immortal,” the practitioner needs to accumulate 1,200 good deeds.v The practitioner’s highest aspiration toward achieving immortality is to accumulate 1,199 good deeds. Ge Hong’s instructions form the bedrock of how many Taoist magical lineages cultivate their practice.vi First, what constitutes a good deed? According to Ge Hong, to achieve transcendence, a practitioner must extend love to all life, “even those that creep and crawl, so that nothing breathing may come to harm.”vii The concept of good deeds is also informed by the Taoist philosophy of wu wei, the principle of nonaction.
