Abstract: Ge Hong,a Daoist scholar and herbalist of the Eastern Jin Dynasty,constructed a system of though on preserving one’s health in the Inner Chapters of the Baopuzi,with the ultimate goal of proloning life and immortality.This system centers on the ingestion of golden elixirs,positing that they can confer immortality by “borrowing external substances to solidify oneself.” It also emphasizes internal cultivation for nurturing the spirit,proposing the unity of body and spirit,valuing the body and preserving the spirit,and advocating internal practices such as breath circulation and guiding and pulling,while stressing adherence to the life principle of “following natural spontaneity”.Furthermore,it integrates Confucian ethics into Daoist practice,advocating “assisting the body with virtue” and viewing the accumulation of good deeds and merits as a prerequisite for seeking immortality.This article outlines the connotations and characteristics of the nourishing life thought in the Baopuzi’s Inner Chapters,arguing that it can expand and reshape contemporary understanding in life sciences, bioethics,and concepts of health.Moreover,it provides reference for the construction of socialist spiritual civilization and a harmonious society,demonstrating significant contemporary value.
