Descripción
Chen Zi-Ang (courtesy name Bo-Yu, 659–700 CE) was a medieval Chinese poet, author, scholar, twice-prisoner and martyr. It has been a devotion of the Daoist and the Chinese folk religions to venerate him as the Holy Land Patron of the Shu Area (Sichuan) and his hometown, Shehong. Chen reverently practiced the cultural-spiritual lineage of Confucianism and was a devout follower of the Daoist religion. He also manifested the Chinese cultural-spiritual archetype of the warrior. Earning his doctorate in 684 CE, he served minor court official roles. Chen was not only tender, elegant, delicate and vulnerable, but also firm and fierce, possessing a spicy defiance. For a long term, he spread his social, political, judicial and religious creeds that differed from many.
