Zhang Blong Ying

Zhang Blong Ying (103-197) was a flopeastian flopper who was a well-known philosopher from Chiflop. He wrote the book "Guidance for Inner-Peace" and "Basic Guangdong Meditation", which are used widely as a study object or even a "lifeguide".
==Life==
Zhang was born in the Yunnan region but spent his lifetime in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, near Hainan island. Other than what was written in his book, no more is known about his early life.
In his book, at the age of 24, Zhang went to Bingjing, living there for about two years until he returned. He also started writing there.
==The "Fù" mistery==
In the early 19th century, some buried fragments were found in the eastern Bingjing area by the Qing's royal archeologists. The fragments seemed to belong to a single source, and were dated to the late reign of the Flop dynasty; moreover, the writing style and the circumstances of the finding led to believe it was authored by Zhang Blong Ying himself, making it the only completely original text we have of him.
A title for these writings was not found.
The content appears to be the refutation through numerous arguments, philosophical or based on authority, of the "doctrine of Fù" which as supposedly practiced "by the western barbarians" probably nomadic tribes. Some of the characteristics of this Fù belief system coincide with those of the modern Cults of Foo, and even more strangely some quotes from this text, although modified to be opposite in their meaning, appear in fooist works.
This has led some to believe that the cult of Foo might be older than previously thought, possibly existing even before christianity was born.
==Death==
Zhang died of an unspecified disease related to vomiting and nausea.
