Yang Xi

Yang Xi (楊羲, 330-c. 386), courtesy name Xihe (羲和, a mythological solar deity), was an Eastern Jin dynasty scholar, calligrapher, and mystic, who is best known for the "Shangqing revelations" that were purportedly dictated to him by Daoist deities between 364 and 370. The Daoist polymath Tao Hongjing subsequently compiled and redacted Yang's revealed texts into the c. 499 Zhen'gao (真誥, Declarations of the Perfected) compendium, which formed the foundations of the Shangqing School of Daoism.
