thumb|Laojun rushan fu "Lord Laozi|Lao's amulet for entering mountains" from Baopuzi Inner Chapter 17 Baopuzi () is a literary work written by Ge Hong (AD 283–343), (), a scholar during the turbulent Jin dynasty.
Baopuzi is divided into two main sections, the esoteric Neipian () and the section intended for the public to understand: Waipian (). The Taoist Inner Chapters discuss topics such as techniques to achieve "hsien" (), Chinese alchemy, elixirs, and demonology. The Confucian Outer Chapters discuss Chinese literature, Legalism, politics, and society.
