The Zhu Ligang 朱立刚

The Zhu Ligang 朱立刚

Paul Peng
Zhu Ligang (1620–?) was a native of Matoupu, Dingzhou (now part of Hebei Province) during the Tianqi and Chongzhen reigns of the Ming Dynasty.

His courtesy name was Yier, and his literary name was Yingchanzi (Master of the Glowing Toad). By nature, he favored tranquility and detachment from mundane affairs, and lived in seclusion while practicing medicine and fortune-telling. In his middle age, he encountered Immortal Chen, who passed down to him the Nanwu Sect (Southern Wu Sect) lineage. Zhu Ligang thus became the 11th-generation patriarch of this sect.

Detailed accounts of his life and deeds can be found in Nanwu Daopai Zongpu (Genealogy of the Nanwu Sect).
