Huáng Gōngwàng 黃公望 (1269–1354), zì Zǐjiǔ 子久, hào Dàchī 大癡 (“Great Idiot”) and Dàchī dàorén 大癡道人 — one of the Four Masters of the Yuán (Yuán sì jiā 元四家) of Chinese painting, alongside Wú Zhèn 吳鎮, Wáng Méng 王蒙, and Ní Zàn 倪瓚. Most famous as a painter (notably the Fùchūn shānjū tú 富春山居圖, “Dwelling in the Fùchūn Mountains,” 1350), Huáng was equally a Quánzhēn 全真 Daoist of considerable standing.
Within the Daoist tradition, he is recorded as the disciple of Jīn Yuèyán 金月巖 (i.e., Jīn Péngtóu 金蓬頭, 1276–1336), and is named as the transmitter (傳) of three Daozang neidan compilations attributed to Jīn: [[KR5a0243|DZ 242 Zhǐzhōu xiānshēng quánzhēn zhízhǐ]], [[KR5e0281|DZ 281 Bàoyī zǐ Sānfēng lǎorén dānjué]], and [[KR5b0281|DZ 576 Bàoyī hánsān bìjué]]. Ráo Zōngyí 饒宗頤’s Huáng Gōngwàng yǔ Fùchūn shānjū tú 黃公望與富春山居圖 (Hong Kong, 1976) treats the painter’s Daoist affiliation in detail.
CBDB id 109158 confirms the dates 1269–1354 (consistent with the standard art-historical biography). Native of Pínjiāng 平江 (Sūzhōu); the hào Dàchī arose from a self-deprecating reference to his perceived foolishness.
