The Chen Yubin 陈玉宾
Paul PengShare
Chen Yubin was a native of Dinghai (now part of Zhejiang Province) during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and his courtesy name was Tianni.
He was once a zhusheng (a student who had passed the imperial examination at the county level and was qualified to study at a government school). When the Ming Dynasty fell, he wailed bitterly in the wilderness, then renounced secular life and became a Taoist Priest.

Later, he attained profound mastery of Taoist doctrines and practices, earning him the title "Immortal Chen" among people. He was also skilled in poetry and painting, and his works have been passed down to later generations.
Details of his life story can be found in Biography of Immortal Chen from the Supplementary Compilations of Jieqi Pavilion by Quan Zuwang.
