History

Youth[]

Zhao Yen was born a frail sickly child in the 4th century BC in the State of Wei (near modern-day Kaifeng, China), and was destined to die before his twenties. However, a fortune teller told him to travel to a nearby field with food and rice wine. There, he encountered two elderly men playing a game of strategy. Thankful for his hospitality, they revealed themselves as the gods in Yu Huang's service who were responsible for fixing the birth and death dates of mortals, and granted him immortality and godhood upon eating P'an-t'ao, the Peaches of Immortality.[1]
