柳宗元
During the Tang dynasty and earlier periods, Jiutian Xuannü was often associated with the sexual arts. The "Xuannü Jing" remained a familiar work among the literati during the Sui and Tang dynasties. The "Dongxuanzi Fangzhong Shu" (), which was likely written by the 7th-century poet Liu Zongyuan, contains explicit descriptions of the sexual arts that was supposedly transmitted from Jiutian Xuannü.
