There are two kinds of documents on the practices of early Chiniese alchemy. The first kind shows that fangshi of hte Western Han dynasty used cinnabar and mercury to make fake gold. Influenced by revermilion theory which emerged in the mid of the two Han dynasties, the second kind takes fangshi's practices of Western Han for true alchemy. Those practices , however, revealed the idea of becomign immortal by eating gold, and promoted fangshi's discovering the secret of revermilion. there as an important theoretical revolution in the early history of chinese alchemy.
