The Zhuang Xi 庄熙
Paul PengShare
Zhuang Xi was a native of Changzhou during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795).
His courtesy name was Jifu, and his literary name was Tiehu Daoren (Taoist of the Iron Kettle). He was the nephew of Zhuang Chun.

He practiced Taoism alongside Zhuang Chun in Pengbai Shanfang (Pengbai Mountain Lodge) of Yuanmiao Guan (Yuanmiao Temple). He was skilled in the Fushui Shu (the Taoist art of talismans and sacred water) and enjoyed equal fame with Zhuang Chun.
