| Liu Timing of the Qing dynasty, as 11th generation disciple of Longmen School, of Complete Reality School of Taoism, Viewed that both yin and yang has no substance, no form In his theory about cultivating gold elixir, yin and yang means, "the real whole energy" and the "Qi through bodily function of 12 passages". The transformation could come into being by these yin and yang owing theirs induction" For this reason, in fact Liu Yiming's stand about cultivating gold elixir had changed "ying yang itself school's" into a kind of school: "nothingness yin yang" One of the important characteristics of "nothingness yin yang" is that, the gold elixir is produced by the mixture of energy of the two poles of the dragon-essence and tiger-sense.In Liu Yiming's viewing, we must cultivate "nothingness essence" beyond cultivating "natural essence", "nothingness essence" start from Great Ultimate. Liu yiming completely return essence to the root.And Liu Yiming emphasized something given expression in his cultivating principle: "mix with ordinary society and integrate illumination". It means, the light of spiritual alchemy, the great path of the gold elixir, is truly magnificent; it is practiced in the world, within society, and is not a small path of solitary quietism in which one avoids the world and leaves society, it is necessary to mix with ordinary society and integrate illumination, Being done only for this, it can .be said: a cultivating gold elixir which never separate life from essence, just a cultivating of solitary quietism isolates "essence" from life.Gold elixir, as Taoists' saying, Confucians call it the Great Ultimate, or ultimate good, or ultimate truth; Buddhists call it complete awareness, or the body of reality, or the relic, therefore, Liu yiming hold that no ?difference among the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.In brief, Liu yiming in fact developed the Taoism into a Learning of Becoming the Celestial Being" according to the basic idea of Complete Reality Schoof of Taoism.
