Huang Guanzi
Huang Guanzi was a figure of the Southern Dynasties.
Within the Daoist community, he was known by the title "Shangqing Zuoqing" (Left Minister of the Supreme Clarity).

He practiced Daoist cultivation, including the ingestion of golden elixirs (a core alchemical practice in Daoism), and studied the Dadong Zhenjing (Great Cavern True Scripture). In the end, he attained enlightenment and achieved the status of a Daoist immortal.
