Psychoactive Substances in Daoist Practice: A Cultural and Historical Perspective
This paper systematically investigates psychoactive substances and their ritual consumption practices within the Daoist cultivation tradition. As a category of Daoist ingestive (fushi 服食) culture, these substances, derived either from specific botanicals or through artificial synthesis, are ceremonially administered to induce mystical experiences in practitioners, ultimately facilitating their mystical union with Dao. Based on research into relev…
The Body, Gender, and Religious Practices: A Comparative Study of Daoist Inner Alchemy for Women and Buddhist Thoughts on the Female-to-Male Transformation
This article examines the concept of female-to-male transformation in Daoism inner alchemy for women (nüdan 女丹) and Buddhism, both of which have records of female practitioners and nuns being required to transform their bodies into men, such as "women change their bodies to become men" (nühuan nanti 女換男體) in nüdan and "transform a woman into a man"(nüzhuan nanshen 女轉男身) in Buddhism. When considering these literal meanings in isolation, this can b…
The Living Dead: An Interpretation of the Metaphor of Death in Daoist Inner Alchemy
This article explores the metaphor of death in Qing 清 Dynasty Daoist inner alchemy (neidan 內丹) scriptures, which require practitioners to consider themselves dead or living dead, and argues that this metaphor of death can be traced back to the connotation of the "living dead" proposed by the founder of Complete Perfection (Quanzhen 全真), Wang Chongyang 王重陽, in the Jin 金 Dynasty, who demonstrated his desire for the return of Dao by digging a grave …
A Goddess with Bird's Claws: An Exploration of the Image of Magu
In China, Magu is a household name for a female Daoist immortal. As a symbol of longevity, people believe that she can prolong their lives and bring them good luck. This paper takes the fact that Magu has hands that look like birds' feet as a clue to sort out the evolution of the image of Magu. In this article, it is argued that the prototype for the image of the Daoist immortal, Magu, is the bird goddess of the Neolithic goddess and that Magu's …
Women Become Immortal through the Use of Procreation Ability: A Study on the Fertility Concept of Female Alchemy
The tradition of female alchemy is established in the view that the female body, like the Earth, is the form of a living goddess and endowed with the fertile energy to nurture all life. This fertile energy is concentrated and reflected in women's menstruation. Because of this energy, women can cultivate themselves as immortals through meditation and self-effort. At this level, the goddess and women share the same power. Therefore, every woman pos…
