Yè Yúnlái 葉雲萊 (fl. late thirteenth century) was a Yuán Daoist master in the Qīngwēi 清微 (Pure Tenuity) lineage and one of the principal successors of Huáng Shùnshēn 黃舜申 (fl. 1224–1286), the Sòng–Yuán founder of the Qīngwēi school as a coherent thunder-rite tradition. Yè is invoked in Qīngwēi lineage-tables as “the Wind-and-Rain Commander of the Western Terrace, Yùtián Yèzhēnrén” 西臺風雨令玉田葉眞人 — Yùtián 玉田 (in present-day Hébéi) being his place of origin, xītái 西臺 (“Western Terrace”) a designation of his station within the school’s celestial bureaucracy. He is named as the immediate teacher of the influential Yuán Daoist Zhāng Shǒuqīng 張守清 (fl. 1315–1332) of Mount Wǔdāng 武當山, through whom the Qīngwēi tradition passed into early Míng. Yè’s direct disciples were responsible for compiling the [[KR5a0219|Qīngwēi xuánshū zòugào yí 清微玄樞奏告儀]] (DZ 218), in which the lineage of patriarchs ends pointedly with Yè, indicating composition by his immediate students. The same lineage closes [[KR5a0218|DZ 217 Tàiyǐ huǒfǔ zòugào qíráng yí]], showing that Yè’s authority was claimed across the closely related Tàiyǐ huǒfǔ and Qīngwēi thunder-method branches. No biography survives in the standard histories; CBDB has no entry under 葉雲萊. See Lagerwey in Schipper & Verellen eds., The Taoist Canon (2004) 2:1101–1102 (§3.B.7, on DZ 218).
