The Wang Yizhong 王一中

Paul Peng
Wang Yizhong (? - 1416) was a native of Huguang in the early Ming Dynasty.

In his youth, he became a Taoist priest at Shangqing Palace on Longhu Mountain and was skilled in Taoist practices involving talismans, holy water, and incantations. In the early years of the Yongle reign (1403), he was ordered to supervise famous mountains and major caves (sacred to Taoism).
In the 11th year of the Yongle reign (1413), he was recommended by Heavenly Master Zhang Yuqing to serve as the abbot of Dasheng Nanyan Palace on Wudang Mountain. He passed away due to illness in the 14th year of the Yongle reign.

Details of his life can be found in The Annals of Taihe Mountain (Great Yue).
