Bào pǔ zǐ shén xiān jīn zhuó jīng 抱朴子神仙金汋經
Bào pǔ zǐ’s Scripture of the Divine-Immortal Gold-Liquor
attributed to 葛洪 (Gě Hóng, 283–343)
A Six-Dynasties alchemical scripture attributed to Gě Hóng (Bào pǔ zǐ 抱朴子) on the “divine-immortal gold-liquor” (shén xiān jīn zhuó 神仙金汋) elixir. The attribution to Gě Hóng himself is most likely pseudepigraphic — the received text appears to be a Six-Dynasties compilation in the Tài qīng alchemical tradition he championed, circulating under his name. Preserved as DZ 917 / CT 917 (Dòngshén bù, Zhòng shù lèi 洞神部眾術類) in 3 juàn.
