Thomas Mann calls his "Der Zauberberg" an hermetic novel and regards the human growth of Hans Castorp as an alchemical exaltatio. This remark was considered a symbolic expression, and not received too much seriously so far. This research is an attempt that clarifies the meaning and the range of this remark from the viewpoint of the psychology of alchemy of C.G.Jung. The points are follows.1)Hans as prima materia traces the road to the Philosopher's stone while repeating separation and uniting with various substances as Chauchat, Setembrini and the like. However, this attempt an coniunctio of spiritus et corpus is not succesful. It means the criticism of modern rationalism of Europa and groping for a new humanism by overcoming the extreme rationalism at the same time. This is the same as the case of alchemy according to its interpretation of C.G.Jung.2)This process of the story ist closely related to the narrative of Th.Mann. It is equal to the attempt at the separation and the uniting in the alchemy experiment in which various elements are sealed up in the retort, put on the fire, and distilled very ardently for a long time. The narrator tries also to spin inevitable string from chance meetings and occurrences, and requests a true possibility of coniunctio. I clarified this feature by analysing the narrative.3)The above-mentioned trait of the novel is corresponding to that of Goethe's "Faust". So to speak, it is a failing attempt at the alchemy experiment, too. A modern parody of this drama which Th.Mann seemes to intend in his novel is a more fundamental "imitatio" in this meaning. This fact turns out only after the viewpoint of C.G.Jung's psychology of alchemy.

托马斯曼称他的“德Zauberberg”是一个密封的小说，并认为人类的成长汉斯卡斯托普作为一个炼金术的提升。这句话被认为是一种象征性的表达，并没有得到太多的重视。本研究试图从荣格的炼金术心理学观点，厘清这句话的意义与范围。其要点如下：1）汉斯作为第一物质，在与各种物质如Chauchat、Setembrini等重复分离和结合的同时，追踪通往哲学家之石的道路。然而，这种精神与肉体结合的尝试并不成功。它意味着对欧罗巴现代理性主义的批判，同时也意味着在克服极端理性主义的基础上探索新的人文主义。这与荣格对炼金术的解释是一样的。2）故事的这一过程与曼的叙述密切相关。它相当于炼金术实验中分离和结合的尝试，在炼金术实验中，各种元素被密封在曲颈瓶中，放在火上，长时间地热烈蒸馏。叙述者还试图从偶然的相遇和发生中纺出不可避免的弦，并要求一种真正的可能性。这一特点与歌德的《浮士德》的特点是相对应的。可以说，这也是炼金术实验的一次失败尝试。曼试图在他的小说中对这出戏剧进行现代的戏仿，这是一种更基本的“模仿”。这一事实只有在荣格的炼金术心理学的观点之后才能证明。
