The Gu Yangkun 顾阳昆
Paul PengShare
Gu Yangkun was a native of Gusu (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province) during the Qianlong and Jiaqing reigns of the Qing Dynasty. His courtesy name was Cangzhou, and his art name was also Cangzhou.
He studied under the patriarch Chu Rendao (styled Rongyang). Endowed with a wide range of knowledge and a remarkable memory, he had profound insights into Taoist learning, attracting a large number of disciples.

He resided on Tongbai Mountain, and there was never a day without visitors coming to seek the true path and consult him on Taoist practice.
