A Chinese calligrapher of the Five Dynasties. Born in Huayin (Shaanxi Province). His pen name was Jingdu. His pen names included Xubai and Xiwei Jushi.

After the fall of the Tang dynasty, he served under each of the Five Dynasties, but in times of chaos he pretended to be insane and was called Yang Fengzi. When he served the Han dynasty of the Five Dynasties, he was appointed Shaofu (minor teacher), so he was also called Yang Shaoshi. He studied calligraphy under Yan Zhenqing and excelled in mad calligraphy. He left behind many calligraphies in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Luoyang. His works include "Kyou Flower Album," "How to Live as an Immortal," and "Postscript to the Ten Aspirations of Luhong's Caotang."
