Abstract During Han Dynasty, the Taoism developed technologies of external(or laboratory) alchemy. Dan (elixir) in its early stage was only used by Taoist to become immortal. In the Tang Dynasty, some Taoists and a few physicians used Dan as medicine, much of which was recorded in the Dao zan (the Taoist Canon). In the Song Dynasty, more and more medical works introduced Dan. From then on, Dan became an important traditional Chinese medicine.
