The fabrication of serving as teacher to sovereigns and emperors throughout the dynasties: (The eleventh transformation says: In the time of Fuxi, Laozi was called Master Yuhua; he preached the *Yuanyang jing*, teaching Fuxi to regulate human relationships and delineate the eight trigrams. In the time of Zhurong, he was called Master Guangshou; he preached the *Anmo tongjing jing*, teaching him to drill wood for fire and smelt clay into vessels. In the time of Shennong, he was called Master Dacheng; he preached the *Taiyi xuanjing jing*, teaching him to sow the five grains and gather and mix medicinal herbs. Also in the time of Shennong, he was called Master Guangcheng; he taught him the way of embracing the spirit and guarding stillness. In the time of Shaohao, he was called Master Suiying; he preached the *Zaijing jing*, teaching him to govern through avian offices and assign the nine bird-wardens to superintend the hundred departments.
