Heshanggong revealed to the emperor his true identity as a divine emissary sent by the “Supreme Lord of the Dao” — i.e., the divine Laozi — to teach him.
The emperor proved a humble student, as the legend concludes, worthy of receiving the Daodejing with Heshanggong's commentary (A. Chan 1991a).
The dominant interpretation in traditional China is that Dao represents the source of the original, undifferentiated, essential qi-energy, the “One,” which in turn produces the yin and yang cosmic forces.

Su may originally have come from northern China, for the compiler Xia Wenyan claimed that Su was from Bianliang (modern Kaifeng), in Henan Province, the Northern Song (960–1127) capital, and that he served in Emperor Huizong’s Hanlin Painting Academy there from 1119 to 1125, learning figure painting from a court painter, Liu Zonggu.
In 1163, after painting a Buddha image for Emperor Xiaozong (reg 1163–1190), Su was elevated to the rank of chengxin lang (‘Gentleman of trust’).
Such an estimate is reinforced by Zhou Mi’s record of Su’s wall paintings at the Xianying guan (Temple of Divine Intervention), an imperial Daoist temple in Lin’an, honouring an immortal who had protected Gaozong during the Jin conquest.
