Hongjun Laozu

Hongjun Laozu (Chinese: 鸿钧老祖, or 洪钧老祖, 鸿元老祖, 洪元老祖; Pinyin: Hóngjūn Lǎozǔ) is said to be the teacher of the Three Pure Ones in some branches of Taoism. His name means the "The Great Primal Originator" or "The Great Primal Homogeneity" or "The Great Balancer". There is a saying that " there was Hong-Jun before there was heaven". He could be said to be the Head of Taoist immortals, but in the mythological stories he seldom shows up on earth.
