范蠡
During his lifetime, Dongfang Shuo was considered a "zhexian" (謫仙 "banished immortal"). In the Six dynasties period (222-589 CE), Dongfang Shuo became the hero of many legends and stories. He was supposedly an embodiment of Sui (歲 "Jupiter") or Taibai (太白 "Venus"), had a miraculous birth, possessed supernatural powers, and went through numerous reincarnations, including Laozi and Fan Li.
