The most famous warlocks after the founding of China

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chinese culture underwent a great change, and the profession of warlocks changed with it. The following are some of the most famous practitioners after the founding of the PRC:

Wu Hao: Wu Hao is one of the most famous feng shui masters after the founding of the PRC. He was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, in a family of scholars, and was smart and studious since childhood. Later, he studied mathematics at Nanjing University, and the art of feng shui was unfamiliar to him as he had read books for a long time. Wu Hao has deep attainments in both the theory and practice of feng shui, and many of his predictions have been confirmed.

Zhang Ruyue: Zhang Ruyue is a legendary psychic medium and Taoist priest. He was born in Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province and used to join the Red Army when he was young. Later, he became a Taoist priest in Xi'an and began to acquire various spells. Zhang Ruyue's clairvoyance was so powerful that he was able to see spirits and communicate with the aura around him, and often guided people's lives through divination.

Liu Baorui: Liu Baorui is known as "China's first man of dark science", specializing in mysterious fields and incredible human experiments. He was the first expert in Chinese medical history to successfully perform tumor surgery using the "ice cracking" technique. Liu Baorui has outstanding achievements in medicine and science, and he has also collected a large amount of information on mysterious phenomena and visions.

Youwei Wan: Youwei Wan is a renowned herbalist and acupuncturist. He is not only well versed in the therapeutic aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, but also researched a series of bizarre treatments, such as the use of acupuncture to treat cancer and so on. He is also known to have invented "ultrasonic acupuncture" in the early 1970s, a technique that allows acupuncture to be more precisely targeted to acupuncture points on the body.

Zhao Zhiqian: Zhao Zhiqian is one of China's most famous contemporary I Ching experts, and is also a famous feng shui master in Hong Kong, who has done some consulting work for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. He advocates a "physical approach" to the interpretation of the I Ching, and also applies the ideas of the I Ching to his personal life and business activities.

These masters have made outstanding achievements and contributions in their respective fields, and have made important contributions to the development of Chinese culture.

Another most famous warlock was Zhang Junbao. He was a famous Taoist priest during the Ming Dynasty and his fame spread far and wide at that time. In the following I will introduce him from three aspects: his life story, his influence and the cultural phenomenon he created.

Zhang Junbao was born in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1391) and was originally from Yueyang County, Hunan Province. He studied Taoism with his father from a young age, and later joined Chen Xiyi's disciples for an in-depth study of Taoist practices. According to rumors, he also traveled around the Jiangnan area and visited many famous masters, absorbing their essence and constantly cultivating his own strength. As a result, he quickly became a leading figure in the Taoist community at the time, thanks to his solid Taoist skills.

Zhang Junbao's influence was not only on himself, but also on the "Zhang School of Taoism," which he founded. He consolidated and sifted through the scattered teachings of Taoism, established his own sect, and compiled a book to teach his disciples. His books contained many practices of both the righteous and the wicked, as well as the secrets of the world, which were very inspiring to the people of that time, and were known as "Zhang Junbao's Wonderful Learning".

It is said that Zhang Junbao granted a unique and varied style of Taoist techniques, which was so well thought out that many later Taoist priests benefited from it. Not only that, Zhang Junbao also introduced some Buddhist concepts of cultivation and Christian charity, making his sect even more profound.

Zhang Junbao's influence was especially evident during the Ming Dynasty. In particular, with the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the entry of the Qing Dynasty into mainland China, Taoist ideas were gradually integrated into the folk culture system, which had a profound impact on traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, it can be said that Zhang Junbao, as a legendary magician, profoundly influenced Chinese history and culture after the Ming Dynasty.

He had a high reputation in the Taoist community, and the Taoist teachings he taught were widely respected. His influence on traditional Chinese culture is also not to be underestimated. It is thanks to him that the Taoist thought and cultural phenomenon that we are familiar with today came into being.
