Abstract
The images of ancient Chinese alchemists appear frequently in historical writing, and those images originate from historical histories but turn into literary ones eventually. Zuo Ci, a typical representative, experienced the image mentioned above change from Wei Jin, Southern, and Northern Dynasties to Yuan and Ming Dynasties in all kinds of classics, and finally presented a complete fictional image in the Romance of The Three Kingdoms. Zuo Ci’s image change reveals that alchemists in Wei Jin, Southern, and Northern Dynasties carry the mission of the mandate of heaven, morality, political morality, and people’s will in the fictional text.
