Wáng Xīmíng 王希明
Tang-period imperial fāngjì (technique-and-art) specialist; native-place not securely recorded. Active in the Kāiyuán era (713-741) of Tang Xuánzōng. Held the position of Nèi gòngfèng dàizhào Hànlín 内供奉待詔翰林 (Inner Tribute-Service Imperially-Awaiting Hànlín) — i.e., a court-attached technical specialist serving the imperial cabinet.
His sole surviving Sìkù-preserved work is the Tàiyī jīnjìng shìjīng 太乙金鏡式經 (KR3g0047) in 10 juàn — composed by imperial commission. The work is the principal Tang-period systematic exposition of the Tàiyī 太乙 cosmological-divinatory tradition, one of the Sānshì 三式 (Three-Form) divination systems alongside Liùrén and Dùnjiǎ. Other Tang-period figures associated with Tàiyī practice include the rebel-prediction tradition documented in the NánQí shū (which records Tàiyī jiǔgōng divination from Hàn Gāozǔ to Sòng Zhēnmíng — almost 700 years of Tàiyī practice).
