I don't know if you're talking about the people on the benevolent channel. He is a man and a woman. Because he is a benevolent person in Taoism. In Buddhism, it is Guanyin.
Cihangdao, a Buddhist in the early Yuan Dynasty, was one of the "Twelve Jinxian" in Taoism and an immortal in ancient legend. I live in Luojiadong, Putuo Mountain. The magic weapon is a clean glass bottle.
After the first world war, it was favored by western Taoist priests. The Golden Monkey is a Taoist and a benevolent Taoist in the Romance of the Gods.
In the Romance of Gods, Cihang gave an idea to let Chijing take Yin Hong, which is a deadly trap. After Red Essence collected Yin Hong with Taiji diagram, Yin Hong begged for mercy.

Nu Wa Niangniang taught the skill of being kind and sailing with thousands of hands and eyes, and instructed her to learn from Yuan Zun. According to legend, Yuan Shi Tianzun taught Ci Hang a heavenly book-Tao Te Ching (also known as Taishang Laojun), and asked him to cultivate immortality in Putuo Mountain, named Ci Haichang, also known as Thousand Hands Fairy. In order to spread Buddhism widely, he went to the west and came back to help Zhou Fazhou. Some people say that he was called Guanyin Bodhisattva when he went west, while others say that he was named Guanyin Bodhisattva by Yuan God. ...
