The eleventh transformation says: In the time of Fuxi, Laozi was named Yuhuazi; he preached the *Yuanyang jing* to teach Fuxi to arrange human relations and draw the eight trigrams. In the time of Zhurong, he was named Guangshouzi; he preached the *Anmo tongjing jing* and taught how to drill wood to produce fire and cast vessels from clay and metal. In the time of Shennong, he was named Dachengzi; he preached the *Taiyi yuanjing jing* and taught how to sow the five grains and gather and compound medicinal herbs. In the time of the Yellow Emperor, he was named Guangchengzi; he taught the way of embracing the spirit and guarding tranquility. In the time of Shaohao, he was named Suiyingzi; he preached the *Zhuangjing jing* and taught how to govern with bird-named officials, distributing the nine quail-officers to oversee the hundred departments. In the time of Zhuanxu, he was named Chijingzi and spoke subtle words. In the time of Emperor Ku, he was named Lutuzi and preached the *Huangting jing*. In the time of Emperor Yao, he was named Wuchengzi and preached the *Xuanhua jing*. In the time of Emperor Shun, he was named Yinshouzi and preached the *Tongxuan jing* in seventy fascicles, as well as the *Daodejing* in one thousand two hundred fascicles. In the time of Yu of the Xia, he was named Zhenxingzi and preached the *Yuanshi jing* in sixty fascicles. In the time of Tang of the Shang, he was named Xizezi and preached the *Changsheng jing* in twenty fascicles. In the time of King Wen of the Zhou, he was named Xieyizi and preached the *Chijing jing*, teaching the way of benevolence and filial piety. It even goes so far as to claim that the rulers of high antiquity all received teachings from Laozi, and only then fabricated all kinds of things.
