| Daoxu: |
Under Wudi there were the Daoists Wen Cheng and Wu Li and others of the same type, who went on sea in search of the genii and to find the physic of immortality. Because they evidently knew the Daoist arts, they were trusted by the Emperor. Dong Fang Shuo undertook no mission on sea, nor did he do anything miraculous. If he had done, he would only have been a man like Li Shao Jun or on a level with Wen Cheng and Wu Li. Nevertheless he had the chance to be credited with the possession of Dao. |
