The Tang Lezhen 唐乐真
Paul PengShare
Tang Lezhen was a native of Linchuan (now part of Jiangxi Province) during the Yuan Dynasty and a Taoist priest of the Shenxiao School.
As recorded in Volume 3 of Yanspring Collection and Account of Miaoling Temple by Zhang Yuchu of the Ming Dynasty: In the 3rd year of the Zhishun reign period of the Yuan Dynasty (1332), Tang Lezhen, due to his exquisite mastery of Taoist rituals and arts, was appointed to serve in the imperial court and was additionally conferred the title of "Linghui Zhenjun" (True Lord of Spiritual Grace).

The Shenxiao School reached the height of its prosperity during the Yuan Dynasty, and this achievement was indeed attributable to Tang Lezhen’s contributions.
