Taiyi Zhenren is a fairy in China's Ming Dynasty mystery novel "Romance of the Gods", Qing Dynasty novel "The Complete Biography of the Fox", "The Biography of Qi Huangong" and the ballad "The Fairy Break the Sky". Although it does not appear many times in the book "Romance of the Gods", it is indeed the most famous of the twelve immortals, and it often appears in comics, live-action dramas, comics, games and other scenes.
Taiyi real person has a certain inheritance to Taiyi Buddha, reading the Taoist scriptures, sincerely seeking the sound in Gan Yuan Cave, and feeling Taiyi's words to save the suffering Buddha. In the twelfth chapter of "Romance of Gods", when Chen Tangguan was born, the Taoist said that being original was a real person named Taiyi in the Golden Cave of the former Yuanshan Mountain. Gan Yuan Cave is very similar to the Guangjin Cave in Maehara Mountain, and the inspiration for adaptation may come from here. It can be seen that Taiyi real person and Taiyi Buddha must be related.
