It combines archaeological materials to systematically summarize early Chinese alchemical knowledge, which holds significant implications for the study of Chinese technological history, Chinese intellectual history, and even Chinese culture. For this new edition, Professor Li Ling has made comprehensive revisions and written a "Preface to the New Edition" to explain his initial motivation for researching alchemy and to share his unique insights into China's religious traditions, as expressed in Professor Li Ling's writings.
