Visual Alchemy: Alchemical <i>Yijing</i> Diagrams 丹道易圖 in the <i>Illustrated Commentary on the Wuzhen Pian Based on the Zhouyi</i> 周易悟真篇圖注 by Xin He

“…Building on a review of the scholarly history of <i>The Wuzhen Pian</i>, this article focuses on the alchemical <i>Yijing</i> diagrams (<i>dandao yitu</i> 丹道易圖) in the <i>Illustrated Commentary</i>, exploring their terminological definitions, theoretical origins, and diagrammatic systems. By analyzing the structure of cosmology and internal alchemy practice theory (<i>neidan gongfulun</i> 內丹工夫論) as presented in these diagrams, this article demonstrates that the <i>Illustrated Commentary</i> not only inherits the theoretical legacy of early <i>Yijing</i> diagram scholars such as Chen Tuan (陳摶) and Yu Yan (俞琰), but also displays a unique systematic and intuitive approach to illustrating <i>neidan</i> practices through xiangshu diagrams (象數圖解). …”
