Abstract Through textual research and analysis on the Taoist text Thirty-six Methods for Bringing Solids into Aqueous Solution in Dao Zang(Taoist Patrology), this article holds that the text in question falls into three parts. The oldest part was written by someone during the Western Han Dynasty, which was the true text of Thirty-six Methods for Bringing Solids into Aqueous Solution. Then a Taoist living between Jin Dynasty and Tang Dynasty added fifteen kinds of aqueous methods. And another seven kinds were added during the Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty. The article also deems that aqueous methods were originally used for drinking to be immortal.
