Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang decreed that the various prefectures study the Daode jing, Liezi, Zhuangzi, and Wenzi, and appointed an assistant instructor for each. At that time, Yao Ziyan passed the civil service examination through his policy answers. The Emperor decreed that Zhuangzi be enfeoffed as the Perfected Man of Nanhua, and Liezi, Wenzi, and Gengsangzi as four Perfected Men. The books of the four masters were designated as authentic scriptures. One Erudite and one Assistant Instructor were established, along with one hundred students.
