During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Taoism flourished, and many sought guidance from renowned masters for cultivation, some even concocting elixirs.
On the first day of the eighth lunar month in the second year of Tai Kang during Emperor Xiaowu of Jin's reign, Xu Zhenjun, a devoted follower of Taoism, consumed an elixir at Xishan in Hongzhou.
