The Zeng Bixian 曾必先
Paul PengShare
Zeng Bixian (1791–unknown) was a native of Fucheng County, Zhili (now part of Hebei Province) during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. His courtesy name was Jingyuan, and his Taoist name was Xijingzi.
From a young age, he had no ambition for an official career. After meeting Gao Chengyue, he abandoned his family to practice Taoism.

He was the 18th-generation patriarch of the Nanwu Taoist Sect.
