Lords of the Reflected Light in Taoism?

[Taiji Bum]

I was just listening to a CD on Taoism and the guy mentioned some Taoist legends have that Taoisms started 12,000 years ago by the "Lords of Reflected Light" and that they came from the high places.

 

Anybody heard of this?

Yes, I've heard about it. I wonder what the Chinese term was for "reflected light." I sometimes think of taoist masters as "lords of ganying." Although some of the best are "ladies."
