The Zhang Shunlie 章舜烈
Paul PengShare
Zhang Shunlie was a Taoist priest in the Yuan Dynasty.
His Taoist title was Chengxi. He inherited the "Great Method of Chasing and Eliminating Consumptive Diseases" (a Taoist ritual for treating consumptive diseases, an ancient term for ailments like tuberculosis) and the Taoist doctrines of the Tianpeng School, which were passed down by his father Zhang Yuanzhang. He served as the fifth-generation grand master of the school.

He authored Zichen Xuanshu (The Mysterious Book of the Purple Palace, a Taoist scripture named after the "Purple Palace" which refers to a celestial realm in Taoist cosmology), which has been handed down to later generations.
