- Yudi , the supreme shenxian in the mythos of Daoism. He rules over tianting and renjian, has one daughter (or seven, depending on variants of myth), and is among the most widely revered shenxians. [source?]
- Sun Wukong, an immortal shenxian who looks like a monkey, mentioned in a famous fiction called Xiyou Ji (Journey to The West). Although he was not originally in the mythos of Daoism, many folk religions worshipped him.[1]
- The Dragon Gods, shenxians with the forms of dragons, often being mistaken for nagas in the mythos of Brahminism and Buddhism.[2]

Trivia[]
- Most of the shenxians mentioned in the Kung Fu Panda franchise were not known by most of the Chinese people during Pre-Qin Period. Daoism, which later became the main religion in China, appeared during the late reign of the Western Han Empire (202 B.C.E. - 8 C.E.). The prototype of the image of Yudi was the image of Dong Wanggong. Yudi was confirmed to be the supreme shenxian during the reign of the Emperor of the Northern Song Empire, Huizong of Song (7 June 1082 C.E. – 4 June 1135 C.E.). Before that, most of the Chinese people deemed Hao Tian Shangdi, who was the supreme shenling in the mythos of Confucianism, to be the most high ruler of the world.
