According to legend, Hermes, the source of wisdom, taught the main principles of alchemy (article 13), and alchemy was carved on an emerald jade plate, which was called the Emerald Monument (or Smaragdin Table). In the Middle Ages, there was a record of jade in the alchemist's workshop. This is the ultimate guidance they need. For Hermes' philosophy, it is just like the position of Tao Te Ching for Taoism and alchemy. Alchemy packages itself into a set of practical techniques, perhaps in order to let this concept be handed down, so that real philosophers can see through the superficial illusion, apply the description of "things" to "hearts" and obtain the spiritual teaching hidden behind them.

There are thirteen pithy proverbs in Yulu, which instruct individuals how to make pure gold by contacting with deep and sacred spiritual level, while ordinary alchemists interpret it as how to make mysterious "philosopher's stone". Or the elixir of life, which can live forever. It is said that in BC 1350, the jade plate was first discovered in a secret room under a pyramid in Egypt. Later, the tracts were once placed in the middle of the corridor of the Great Alexandria Library. After the library was burned down, the whereabouts of the jade plate were also unknown. Fortunately, there are manuscripts in various languages.

Noodles are translated by Newton, a scientist and alchemist:

When I entered the cave, I saw a jade with words written between Hermes' hands. From there, I found the following words: when I entered the cave, I received a slate of Zaradi, which was carved from between Hermes' belts, and I found this word on it:

True or False: It's true, it's not a lie, it must be&; The truest:

If above, if below; In this way, the Taiyi miracle was completed. Wch is below just like wch is above. Wch is on top, just like yt wch is on the bottom. Just doing one thing can create miracles.

Everything is one, which is created by differentiation from one. Just like everything else. Born from one, transformed from one, everything is born from one.

From the beginning, Yulu put forward the echo relationship between the big universe and the small universe, which is the core of alchemy's world view. Mozi put forward a similar statement, "the ratio of up and down", but Mozi meant that people's thoughts and behaviors should be compared with heaven and gods and conform to heaven. What Hermes means is that the big universe of thought, universe and nature and the small universe of individual, mind and soul are integrated, harmonious and mapped. Using the transformation process of an alchemist to liberate the soul from the material will not only recreate the material, but also reshape the soul, which will reproduce the miracle created by the unity of the universe, that is, the Tao, "everything is." Taiyi's creative way is neo-Platonism's "divergence" theory, that is, starting from a complete and sufficient highest reality, like the sun shining, it divides the rational, soul and material world layer by layer without damaging Taiyi's perfection.

The sun is the father, and the moon is the mother, bred from the wind and maintained from the ground. The sun is its father, the moon is its mother, the wind puts it in its belly and the earth is its back.

The source of all perfection in the world is here; Its ability is the most complete on the ground. The perfect father of the whole world is here. If transformed into the earth, its power is complete.

The subject here is a perfect soul, the sun refers to the immortal spirit or the high-level self-mind, and the lunar moon is the projection of the low-level self and the high-level self. Wind refers to spiritual vitality, while earth refers to material body. The combination of divinity and body, and the unity of spirit and matter are the source of miracles, and in fact they are also the universal principles of mysterious experience. The Tao Te Ching says, "Tao is born, virtue is accumulated, things are shaped and potential is achieved", and "wisdom" also refers to life and spirit. Tao and virtue are like the sun and the moon, and their shape and formation also have a certain corresponding relationship with gestation and conservation.

Divide the soil into fire, take the essence from the rough, and act cautiously. Separate your land from your fire, and you separate your cunning from vulgarity with great diligence.

Ascending from the earth to the sky, descending from the sky, you gain up and down strength. So you can get the glory of the world and stay away from darkness and ignorance. It rose from the earth to heaven. It came to earth again and accepted the power of all things. Inferior. In this way, you will have the glory of the whole world. So all the gloom will disappear from you.

This means that before pursuing the above-mentioned combination of yin and yang, we must distinguish between material and spiritual things, and distinguish between spiritual call and material desire, so as to reflect the glory of our true self. When a person transcends the opposition between yin and yang, self and mind and seeks immortal spirituality, he awakens from reality, gains synaesthesia wisdom and finds light. Back to real life, everything is clear.

This is the power of all forces, breaking the strong and pulling the hard. Its power is higher than all forces, because it can conquer all subtle things. Penetrating all solids.

This is how the world was created, and this is how miracles can be realized. The world of leaves was thus created. From this is&the process of doing admirable adaptation to you is here.
