"The Biography of Immortals" is a classic handed down from generation to generation by Ge Hong (also known as Bao Puzi), a master of Taoism in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and a medical scientist. It is the pinnacle of Chinese immortal biography literature. Together with "The Biography of Immortals", it is known as the two best immortal biographies. It has profoundly influenced the creation of literature about monsters and gods and demons in later generations. It is also a core document for studying Taoist thought and social culture in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
In order to get rid of the world's prejudice against immortals, Ge Hong extensively searched for the practice legends of dozens of immortals from ancient times to the Wei and Jin Dynasties and wrote a book. He made it clear that in order to seek immortals, virtue should be the foundation.
This vernacular version removes the obscurity of the literary language and completely restores the essence of the original text in a popular and clear writing style, making it easy to read the wisdom of thousands of years of self-cultivation. Open this book and read in the legendary story the true meaning of life of cultivating morality and settling down.

Chinese Taoism, fairy tales. Tell the truth through mystery, and calm your mind while reading.
Very good, I like it very much anyway
Well written and worth reading!
Good book, let's all practice it.
Can't get it, can't achieve virtue
Only by enduring humiliation, being generous, being selfless and altruistic, without desires and demands, can you achieve the Tao.
The vernacular is easy to understand, and I have gained an understanding of immortal cultivators. Thank you.
We must support it so that people who cannot read classical Chinese can listen to it fluently and read the Legend of Immortals. It's great!
