Han Zhong (traditional Chinese: 韓終; simplified Chinese: 韩终) was a Qin dynasty (221 BCE-206 BCE) herbalist fangshi ("Method Master") and Daoist xian ("Transcendent; 'Immortal'"). In Chinese history, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, commissioned Han in 215 BCE to lead a maritime expedition in search of the elixir of life, yet he never returned, which subsequently led to the infamous burning of books and burying of scholars.
