there is no reliable footage. Eye witnesses were hallucinating. Before modern times they were reporting ghosts and dragons. Now its UFOs.

sure feel free anytime well, when ppl talk about neidan they for some reason assume that neidan practitioners were 'taoists' whatever that means. But first and foremost they were Confucians meaning scholars educated in Confucian texts and by virtue of it venerating Confucius himself. There simply was no other formal education apart from Confucian one. An uneducated person had a very slim chance of having the leisure and connections necessary for neidan.

Good question. The term came to mean any and all ancient chinese practices aimed at personal salvation. It is used in that sense by the historian scholars and modern practitioners. However it was not used in that sense by the ancient chinese. To them it meant 'an energetic medicine' - not the practice to obtain it. There is another sense to this term.

It was first called The Eternal City (Latin: Urbs Aeterna; Italian: La Città Eterna) by the Roman poet Tibullus in the 1st century BC, and the expression was also taken up by Ovid, Virgil, and Livy. Rome is also called the "Caput Mundi" (Capital of the World).
