Zhengyi Dao
Zhengyi Dao (), also known as the Way of Orthodox Unity, Teaching of the Orthodox Unity, and Branch of the Orthodox Unity is a Chinese Taoist movement that traditionally refers to the same Taoist lineage as the Way of the Five Pecks of Rice and Way of the Celestial Masters, but in the period of the Tang dynasty and its history thereafter. Like the Way of Celestial Masters (''Tianshi Dao''), the leader of Zhengyi Taoism was known as the Celestial Master. Name The term ''Zhengyi'' (Orthodox Unity) has been used since Taoism became an organized religion in 142 AD when Taishang Laojun bestowed the Covenant with the Powers of Orthodox Unity (''zhengyi mengwei'') on Zhang Daoling. Zhang's followers called his teachings the Way of the Five Pecks of Rice while during the Six Dynasties period, the Southern Taoists called it the Way of the Celestial Masters. The Covenant, Five Pecks of Rice, and Celestial Masters all refer to the ''Zhengyi'' branch of Taoism but in different periods. Histo ...

The term derives from ''lich'', an archaic term for a corpse.

''Dungeons & Dragons'' (1974–1976) For the original ''D&D'' rule set, the lich was introduced in its first supplement, '' Greyhawk'' (1975).

Zheng Yi (author)
''Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China'' is a book of reportage literature (''baogao wenxue'') by the Chinese novelist Zheng Yi (郑义; born 1947). Zheng and a group of writers under the joint pseudonym "T. P. Sym" translated and abridged it from the Chinese work 红色 纪念碑 ''Hongse jinianbei'' (''Red monument''; Taipei: Huashi, 1993). Zheng uses local government documents, eye-witness accounts and confessions to describe the factional violence and even cannibalism that occurred in the Guangxi Massacre during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). Zheng blames the savagery and cannibalism on "class struggle" and "revolutionary revenge". The book received praise for revealing the nature of Mao's regime and also criticism for giving the impression that cannibalism was systematic and widespread. Development Background Zheng Yi was born in Chongqing, Sichuan, in 1947, and went to Beijing to attend the middle school attached to Qinghua University, China's l ...
