Abstract

Abstract: This paper analyzes the Nüdan(女丹)(female internal alchemy) in Daoism from the perspectives of consciousness and unconsciousness, Carl Gustav Jung's shadow prototype, personality mask and androgynization, etc.. The women who practice Daoism should have a correct cognition of herself. Internal alchemy for women in Daoism expects the women who practice Daoism should have both female and male qualities. The Daoist Nüdan broadened the female disciples' state of mind and shaped the ideal personality.

Key words: Nüdan in Daoism, Unconsciousness, Androgyny, Daoist view of women
