That sounds about right.

The first statement is true. Waidan(外丹) is the composition of medicine done externally. The final product is a big pill given to the emperor for longevity. The emperor has no knowledge of what is in the pills. The emperor hires a Taoist and rewarded him with gold and silver. In return, the emperor gets weaker day by day and the Taoist gets richer. FYI Waidan(外丹) like it says is external. The idea is to take something external to accomplish what Neidan(內丹) would have had. In contrarily, Neidan like it says is internal that does not involve any external ingredients. Actually, Neidan is a form of Qigong that involves breathing only. Assuming that the internal ingredients of jing(精), chi(氣), and shen(神) are interacting inside the body to accomplish longevity. The reason the Taoists go from external to internal was that the Waidan caused death more than what was intended to accomplish.

The motive is not wrong. However, one should concentrate on having a healthy body other than fulfilling other things as a priority. One should fine-tune the body by enhancing it to perform to the best of its ability. Pursuing a goal with false information would send you farther and farther away from it.

Cinnabar was used to extract mercury from it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnabar

What is the new term for 同志(comrade) that I am not aware of?

No, jogging, sprinting, and soccer is anaerobic exercises. It is because, during those exercises, you consume more oxygen than you can provide. It makes your heart pump faster due to the demand for more oxygen. As result, it puts more strain on the heart muscles. As opposed to aerobic Qigong, it breathes in more oxygen than the body needs. Your body will never reach the state of hypoxia. That will put the heart at the resting point which will not make it overwork. While the body is consuming some of the oxygen, the rest of it is reserved for backup. For that said, the body will not run out of oxygen and maintain the heartbeat at the resting point to prevent it from overworking.

These terms are widely used with no limitations. Let's make it clear before it misleads everybody. "教徒 - usually refer to believer of Christianities" It is a general term that applies to believers of all religious cults, not necessarily just applies to Christianities. "道友 - supposed to be friendlies following the Tao, now mostly mean heroine addicts" It is a general term for friends in the same religion. It is slang for any kind of addict but not necessarily just for heroin addicts. "同道 - same belief believers, now can mean drug addicts too" The former is true. The latter is not necessarily only apply to drug addicts. It may apply to people who are sharing the same interests.

Semi-Taoist is someone who does half of the things that a true Taoist does.

If you want a faster result, you can practice yoga and pay more attention to deep breathing. No matter what kind of practice that you do, breathing is very important for self-healing. Breathing as much oxygen as possible into your body is the key to good health. It is because whatever you take orally, requires oxygen to decompose the glucose to give you the energy for the internal organs to function. Your body will take care of the part that demands the most attention. In your case, it would definitely help to speed up the recovery of the reproductive system.

Believe it or not. Kanji (漢字) is borrowed from Chinese characters. Sometimes, the meanings were twisted a little by the Japanese. Like their names, the Chinese have no idea what they meant. However, we should keep an open mind and learn from each other.

Yes, I think it has a lot to do with it but she is cured now. Thank Tao!

It seems to me that 'Caprinae' is a technical term for the subdivision of the dear class. The Chinese term for 'Caprinae' is "羊亞科". I think the first character '羊' in the term caused confusion to a non-native speaker.

As a native speaker, I don't quite follow what you are telling me. It has known that 鹿 is a deer all my life. Do I need a third party to tell us what it is?

Please show me where the mistake is. caprinae is 鹿 https://translate.yandex.com/?lang=zh-en&text=鹿 https://translate.yandex.com/?lang=en-zh&text=caprinae

New words are created with definitions to be understood by adding them to your memory bank for keeps.

FYI. None of the herbs will work for you due to the physical internal damage from long-time masturbation. Because it is internal, the best cure is self-healing by practicing Qigong or Taiji diligently. Taiji is the best because it involves movement coordinated with deep breathing. Breathing is very important for self-healing. Do Taiji a few times a day, you will see results in a few months. Continuing to do it daily will make you a stronger and better person than before. I had gone through all these experiences once before. Now I am a very healthy person and teach Taiji in a Senior Service Center. After the class, some told me that they have become a better person.

IMO I don't think that spiritual people have a deeper understanding of bodily functions. Rather they are more concerned with peace of mind. Regarding herbs, they are effective to treat diseases. All the herbs were dried under the sun or in an oven. There are special recipes for herbs for different ailments. It was up to the herbalist to determine the combination of herbs for an ailment. The herbs were boiled in water for some time and then orally taken by the patient. That is eastern medicine. However, western medicine does use herbs compressed into a pill. I know in Germany, the medicine manufacturers bought lots of herbs from China to make medical pills. FYI My wife has a lot of ailments. Just recently, her body produced lots of body heat that she could bear it for a second. Her family physician ordered all kinds of lab tests but could not find out the cause. Luckily, someone introduced a doctor who practices eastern and western medicine plus acupuncture. She visited the doctor's office for several weeks for acupuncture treatment and took herbal pills, and finally, her ailment was cured.

It means： The followers of Tao. The one who follows the principles of Tao. The deciples of Tao.

It has nothing to do with culture or language. It is only a matter of understanding the culture and language.

You were told by a Daobum, not so educated, alright! I know the problem lies here and knew it was coming. FYI In Chinese, there is a given name for each animal but unisex, unlike in English. A 'Caprinae' is 鹿(deer) not 羊. All the animals are classified by group name. In order to distinguish each kind by a modifier in front of the character. In the case of 羊: 山羊: goat綿羊: sheep 羚羊: antelope 馬: horse 蒙古馬: Monogolian horse 英國馬: English horse 美國馬: Americal horse 西班牙馬: Spanish horse

In China, a goat is not a sheep. A goat is a 山羊(mountain goat). A sheep is a 綿羊.

They are making the sale of merchandise just like Amazon on the internet. The government is trying the crack them down.

The Chinese community is very up today. Of course, there is internet in the shrines and temples. They are using it as their primary source of income.

I will rest my case as I had done on many occasions.

Since I had explained what it is, you should know what it is by now without pursuing it any further.
