Cheng Xuanying

Cheng Xuanying (Chinese 成玄英, pinyin Chéng Xuányīng, Wade–Giles Ch'eng Hsüan-ying; fl. 631–655) was a Daoist monk (of the title "Master of Doctrines at Xihua Abbey“ 西華法師) and one of the principal representatives of the "School of Double Mystery" (Chongxuan) during the reigns of the emperors Taizong and Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. He is known for his commentaries to the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi (also known as the Nanhua Zhenjing).

Zhuangzi Commentary

Cheng wrote one of the more significant commentaries to the Zhuangzi, the Subcommentary to the Zhuangzi (Zhuāngzǐ shū 莊子疏). His commentary, valued for its concise explanations and character glosses, is a sub-commentary to Guo Xiang's; traditionally, both commentaries have been handed down together. Both commentaries have been handed down to posterity in the Daozang as the Commentary and Subcommentary on the True Scripture of Southern Florescence (Nánhúa Zhēnjīng Zhùshū 南華真經注疏) in 30 juan.
