Ge Hong (Wade-Giles: Ko Hung; – C.E.), also known as Zhichuan, was a prolific Chinese writer and political official during the Jìn Dynasty (– C.E.), best known for his writings on Daoism, alchemy, and techniques of longevity. These religious and esoteric writings represent only a portion of his considerable literary output, which, as a whole, spans a broad range of content and genres. Although most of Ge Hong's early works are lost, modern scholars have recognized his influence on later writers, such as the Tang Dynasty (– C.E.) poet Li Bai (–), who was inspired by his predecessor's images of transcendence and reclusion. Despite the thematic and artistic significance of his work, it was never enshrined in one of the famous collections of essays and poetry, such as the Wenxuan (Selections of Refined Literature).
Ge Hong’s writing reflects the complex intellectual landscape of the Jin period, and should be considered essential reading for anyone seeking to understand early medieval Chinese religion, culture, and society. Recent scholarly and popular translations of Ge Hong’s writing into English have ensured his inclusion in the swelling tide of enthusiasm
Ge Hong (Ko Hung, — C.E.)
Ge Hong was an eclectic philosopher who dedicated his life to searching for physical immortality, which he thought was attainable through alchemy. He lived during China&#;s tumultuous Period of Disunity ( C.E.), a time in which alien conqueror regimes ruled northern China, the cradle of Chinese civilization, while a series of weak, transplanted Chinese states occupied recently colonized southern China. These political conditions, along with the social chaos they engendered, no doubt gave rise to Ge Hong&#;s ardent desire to establish order and permanency in both his spiritual and secular worlds. His most important contribution to Chinese philosophy was his attempt to reconcile an immortality-centered Daoism with Confucianism. Equally important, to establish political order, he also tried to reconcile Legalism with Confucianism. His penetrating insight was that the teachings of no one school could solve the problems that his world faced – only a combination of the best methods of each could do so.

Ge Hong (Baopu zi)
Ge Hong's Baopu zi neipian 抱朴子內篇 (Inner Chapters of the Book of the Master Who Embraces Simplicity), completed around CE, provides a personal but extended overview of several Chinese religious traditions. At one end of this spectrum of traditions, Ge Hong places the "coarse and rustic practitioners" who devote themselves to healing methods, longevity techniques, divination, and magic. At the other end of the spectrum are alchemy and meditation, which in Ge Hong's views represent the culmination of the search for transcendence. Ingesting the elixirs enables an adept to obtain immortality, communicate with the gods, and expel the noxious spirits. Meditation on the True One and the Mysterious One similarly gives access to the divine world and affords control over gods and demons.
