The Liu Benshu 刘本恕

Paul Peng
Liu Benshu was a native of Hunan during the Qing Dynasty. His original name was Qiao, with the literary name Kechen and the Taoist name Youwozi.

As recorded in The Complete Works of Ancestor Lü (Lüzu Quanshu), he was enlightened by a Taoist in a dream. Later, he was officially registered as a Taoist at Hansan Palace in Wuchang. Together with Deng Youshu (styled Dongyanzi) and Liu Yuncheng (styled Qingxuzzi), he compiled The Scripture of Unity and Conformity (Can Tong Jing), expounding on the origin and context of this classic Taoist text.
