He is best known for his work "抱朴子" (Baopuzi), which explores themes of Daoism and alchemy, reflecting his deep engagement with metaphysical concepts and the pursuit of immortality. In addition to his philosophical writings, Ge Hong contributed to the literary landscape with his collection of essays and anecdotes in "西京雜記" (Xijing Zaji), which provides insights into the culture and society of his time.
