The Xu Yankong 许演空

The Xu Yankong 许演空

Paul Peng
Xu Yankong was a native of Pei County (now part of Jiangsu Province) during the Ming Dynasty.

He styled himself "Hongyang" and also had an alternative literary name "Sanwuzi".

In his early years, he entered Lazhu Stream in Wudang Mountain to practice Daoism; later, he passed through Jiuxian Guan (Nine Immortals Temple) in Nanyue (the Southern Mountain), and thus became officially registered there as a resident.

He authored works including Yinfujing Zhu (Annotations on The Yin Conspiracy Classic) and Daodejing Zhu (Annotations on The Dao De Jing), which circulated among the people.

Accounts of his life can be found in Hengyue Zhi (Gazetteer of Hengshan Mountain).
