In this paper, we generalize weak KAM theorem from positive Lagrangian systems to "proper" Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We introduce an implicitly defined solution semigroup of evolutionary Hamilton-Jacobi equations. By exploring the properties of the solution semigroup, we prove the convergence of solution semigroup and existence of weak KAM solutions for stationary equations: \begin{equation*} H(x, u, d_x u)=0. \end{equation*}
