Zuo Ci (156? - 289? ), the word Fang, Han nationality, from Lujiang County, Anhui Province, was an alchemist at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Knowing little about the Five Classics, being proficient in astrology, learning Taoism and mastering the Six Classics, it is said that he can serve ghosts and gods and sit in the kitchen. Seeing that the Han dynasty was almost over and the world was in chaos, he sighed: "At this time of decline, those who live in high positions are in danger and those who have more money are dead. The world is glorious and not greedy. " In Tianzhu Mountain, Anhui Province, I got a stone room and began to meditate. Zuo Ci awarded Ge Xuan several Taoist scriptures.

Zuo Ci, a famous alchemist of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, lived in Tianzhu Mountain and studied alchemy. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty says that he seldom has Shinto. Ge Hong's Bao Puzi Jin Zidan shows that Zuo Ci is Ge Xuan's teacher. There are three volumes of Tai Ming Jing, one volume of Jiuding Single Crystal, and one volume of Jinye Single Crystal. Cao Zhi said that he was good in nature in On Tao.
