The Zhang Yulong 张遇隆

The Zhang Yulong 张遇隆

Paul Peng
Zhang Yulong (?–1752) was the 56th Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect. Supplement to the Genealogy of the Heavenly Masters records: His courtesy name was Futian, and his literary name was Linggu. He was born intelligent.

In the 7th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1742), he was ordered by the imperial edict to inherit the title. When summoned by the emperor to answer questions, his responses complied with the imperial will, and he was granted generous rewards.

In the 16th year of the Qianlong reign (1751), the emperor went on a southern inspection tour and summoned Zhang Yulong, who conducted himself properly in accordance with Taoist etiquette. In the 17th year (1752), due to the impeachment by Censor Mei, the Ministry deliberated and demoted his official rank to the fifth grade (positive). Later, he resigned from his position and lived a leisurely life in the mountains, passing away soon after.

In the 36th year of the Qianlong reign (1771), he was posthumously conferred the title of Tongyi Dafu (a mid-ranking honorary official title in the Qing Dynasty).
