DANDAN (丹丹). Chinese name, meaning "cinnabar,"
from a reduplication of (丹)
tan1 1315b, "red, carnation; pills; a red stone." (A
Mandarin-Romanized Dictionary of Chinese, MacGillivray, 1921).
Man Dandan, a Chinese cross-country skier. (Wiki).
According to the Rev. J. Edkins, the Chinese alchemists investigated
this "ore of mercury" (cinnabar) as early as the Christian era. It was called by
them the Sien-tan, "Immortal elixir," equivalent to the
Philosopher's Stone of the alchemists of the west. (Contributions Towards the Materia Medica and Natural History of China,
Smith, 1871)
