Synopsis

"Shen Tongqi Shanyou" was written by Zhu Yuanyu of Longmen, Beizong in the Qing Dynasty. It explains the inner alchemy of "Shen Tongqi". It is different from many alchemy scriptures with obscure terms, clear organization and straightforward sentences. It strives to explain the inner alchemy clearly. In the opening chapter, it explains the mystery of yin and yang in inner alchemy, pointing out it as the core and primary link, and analyzes the presentation and application of yin and yang theory in inner alchemy.

Reader comments

The concept of "one yin and one yang" mentioned in this book resonates with me very much, just like my partner and I, two people with different personalities but complementary to each other. The description of alchemy in the book is also very interesting, reminding me of some friends around me who pay attention to health preservation. However, for me who is still hesitating about getting married, this book is more like a guide, letting me understand that yin and yang need to be reconciled and understood each other in marriage. Overall, this is a very enlightening book.
