Origin and Story of 神仙中人
During the Jin Dynasty, Wang Youjun (Wang Xizhi), known for his handsome and refined appearance, once encountered Du Hongzhi. Observing Du's face, which resembled congealed white jade, and his eyes, as dark and lustrous as painted lacquer, Wang Youjun exclaimed, "He is truly a celestial being among mortals!"
At that time, some people praised Wang Youjun's own remarkable beauty. However, Cai Gong (Master Cai) commented, "It's a pity none of you have ever seen Du Hongzhi!"
