Master You Xuande (游玄德)


Master You Xuande is one of the globally influential leaders in Chinese Taoism, the 14th-generation headmaster of the Wudang Sect, an internationally renowned martial artist, inheritor of Wudang martial arts intangible cultural heritage, and a celebrated Chinese expert in Taoist internal alchemy, connoisseur of calligraphy and painting, collector, and patriotic poet.

Master You was born in the Hebei region, with ancestral roots in Jinzhou at the eastern foothills of the Taihang Mountains. Hailing from a martial arts family and scholarly household, the You family has adhered to Taoism for generations. In his early years, he became a disciple of Wudang Taoist master Wang Tongsheng (Vice President of the Chinese Taoist Association and President of the Wudang Mountain Taoist Association) and Wang Tonghe, the 13th-generation Southern Lineage headmaster of the Wudang Sect. His masters bestowed upon him the Taoist name "Xuande" (武当太极道人) and the title "Yujingzi" (玉京子).

In the late 1980s, Master You Xuande led the "Wudang Taoist Cultural Delegation" on lecture tours to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Southeast Asia, generating significant impact. He became the first in the Chinese martial arts community to lead a "Wudang Kung Fu Troupe" to visit numerous European and American countries including Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Canada, and the United States. Western disciples honored him as "the contemporary 'Bruce Lee' who first brought Wudang Kung Fu beyond China's borders to the world."

Master You Xuande is the most influential Taoist master from Chinese Taoism lecturing and preaching in European and American nations. Hailed by the European academic community as the "Ambassador of World Taoist Culture," he has been appointed as "Feng Shui Tutor at Sapienza University of Rome," "Visiting Professor of Eastern Philosophy at the University of Cagliari," and "Martial Arts Advisor to Peking University."
