The Zhongli Jia 钟离嘉

Paul Peng
Zhongli Jia (? - 421), a native of Yuzhang (present-day Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province) during the Jin Dynasty, styled Gongyang (also recorded as Chaoben).
He was the son of True Lord Xu Xun's second younger sister. True Lord Xu imparted to him the wonderful secrets of immortality, enabling him to rescue people from disasters and expel plagues.

He ascended to immortality in the second year of the Yongchu era of Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty (421). During the Zhenghe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was conferred the title of "Puhui Zhenren (True Man of Universal Benefaction)".
