Paul PengShare
Wu Lixiang (1878 – ?), a native of Shaoyang County, Hunan Province during the Republic of China period.
At the age of 18, he became a Taoist Priest at Guanyin Rock in Dafuping, Anhua County, studying under Jiang Zhiming and receiving the transmission of advanced Taoist rituals and ceremonies.

Lixiang held the view: "The Gaogong (high priest) in Taoism is an ancient Taoist master, who is actually a model of scripture recitation and repentance. He specializes in sincere prayer, blessing rituals and sacrifices, respecting the gods to invoke blessings and eliminate disasters invisibly."
Lixiang served as the abbot of Dashi Pavilion in Hanyang, and later concurrently held the position of Gaogong at Changchun Temple.
