“Four Hundred Words on the Golden Elixir: A Poetical Classic of Taoist Internal Alchemy” by Fabrizio Pregadio

"The Jindan sibai zi, or Four Hundred Words on the Golden Elixir, is attributed to Zhang Boduan, the well-known author of the Wuzhen pian (Awakening to Reality).

“Awakening to Reality: The Regulated Verses of the Wuzhen pian, a Taoist Classic of Internal Alchemy” by Fabrizio Pregadio

"Awakening to Reality (Wuzhen pian) is one of the most important and best-known Taoist alchemical texts.
