“Taiyi” refers to the original fresh and perfect state of the universe. The main purpose of “Taiyi Jinhua Purpose” is to explain the Taoist method of refining and transforming Qi. Chinese Taoists believe that the “Taiyi Jinhua Aim” is the internal code of Quanzhen sect. This book consists of thirteen chapters. It directly expounds the ideas and techniques of alchemy cultivation, rather than focusing on mystical principles. The full name of this book is “Lv Zu’s Tianyi Qi Taiyi Jinhua Purpose”, which is mostly written by Lu Dongbin. At the beginning of each chapter in the book, there are words like “Lu Zu Yue, or Lu Di Yue”.
In addition, in the first chapter of the book, there is a paragraph describing the inheritance of the Dharma line of “Taiyi Jinhua Aim”: “From the Supreme Being, the Donghua Transferring Rock and the two North and South Schools, Quanzhen can be extremely prosperous.” The translation into modern language is: “Tai Shang Lao Jun, the originator of Taoism, incarnates Lao Tzu and preached to Emperor Donghua. Emperor Donghua passed this method to Lu Dongbin (Lu Yan) of the Tang Dynasty, and Lu Dongbin passed it to the Song Dynasty. Quanzhen sect is very prosperous now.” Another version has a sentence in the last chapter “every generation works hard, it is a pity to miss the time, the seven sons (referring to the North Qizhen of the Quanzhen sect) encourage it”. Therefore, “Taiyi Jinhua Aim” is often considered to be written by Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Taoist Quanzhen School.
