The Gao Chengyue 高成岳
Paul PengShare
Gao Chengyue (1760–unknown) was a native of Funing County, Zhili (now part of Hebei Province) during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty.
His courtesy name was Huiji, and his Taoist name was Dingyuanzi. His family had passed down the tradition of farming and studying for generations.

According to The Genealogy of the Nanwu Taoist Sect, Chengyue met Xing Gongguang at the Lüzu Taoist Temple in Jinan, who taught him the techniques of regulating, tonifying, and returning fluids. From then on, he practiced inner alchemy diligently without slack.
He subsequently converted to the Nanwu Sect and became its 17th-generation patriarch.
