The Li Yangchun 李阳春

The Li Yangchun 李阳春

Paul Peng
Li Yangchun (1746-1806) was a native of Lijiaxiang, Changxing (now part of Zhejiang Province) during the Qianlong and Jiaqing reigns of the Qing Dynasty.

His original name was Zhiliang, and his courtesy name was Biyun.

As recorded in Jingai Xindeng (The Lamp of the Heart at Jingai Mountain): Yangchun was extremely filial by nature. He was proficient and dedicated in his craft, kind-hearted yet righteous, single-minded in his aspirations and loyal. He often helped others with his medical skills.

In the fifth year of the Jiaqing reign (1800), he went to Jingai Mountain and converted to Taoism.

In the eighth year of the Jiaqing reign (1803), he received the two major precepts of Chuzhen (Initial Truth) and Zhongji (Middle Ultimate). After that, he returned to Changxing and resided temporarily in a monk’s hut at Mopan (Grindstone). He treated illnesses and saved lives, performed rituals to venerate the Big Dipper (Li Dou) and wielded talismans (Shi Fu), never caring about material gains—instead, he devoted himself even more diligently to these endeavors.

In September of the 11th year of the Jiaqing reign (1806), he passed away due to illness at the age of 61.
