The story goes that the Daoist Equal to Heaven, using the principles of Confucianism and the writings of Dong Zhongshu, defeated King Bodhisattva, who was then saved by the Five Directions Kaide.
Meanwhile, Liu Cang suddenly received a message and hurriedly reported to Emperor Ming of Han that another highly virtuous person had appeared.
Do you know who this person is?
A Taoist with white hair and a youthful face was seen holding a horsetail whisk and riding a white crane, descending from the heavens. This Taoist, embodying the spirit and bones of the Dao, was immediately recognized as a True Man of Dao and Virtue. How do we know he is a True Man of Dao and Virtue? A poem written by later generations serves as proof.
The poem says:
Confusedly living through the years, waking confused and sleeping confused.
Unaware of the confusion, dawn breaks again, burying confusion deep in heart and lungs.
Clearly confused, drinking confusedly and drunkenly confused.
