Dongfang Shuo (, c. 160 BCE – c. 93 BCE) was a Han Dynasty scholar-official, ''fangshi'' ("master of esoterica"), author, and court jester to Emperor Wu (r. 141 – 87 BCE). In Chinese mythology, Dongfang is considered a Daoist ''xian'' ("transcendent; immortal") and the spirit of Venus who incarnated as a series of ancient ministers including Laozi. ==Names== Dongfang Shuo's original Chinese surname was Zhang (張 meaning "stretch; spread"), which was later changed to an uncommon compound surname Dongfang (東方 "eastern direction; the east", cf. The East Is Red). His Chinese given name was Shuo (朔 "new moon") and his courtesy name was Manqian (曼倩 "graceful handsome"). Owing to his eccentric and humorous behavior at the Han court in Chang'an, Dongfang's nickname was Guji (滑稽 "Buffoon") and he proclaimed himself the first ''chaoyin'' (朝隱 "recluse at court", punning ''yinshi'' 隱士 "recluse scholar; hermit") (Espesset 2008:366). When fellow courtiers called him crazy, Dongfang replied (tr. Vervoorn 1990:204), "People like me are known as those who escape the world by taking it easy at court."
