Lady Xian (or Hsien, Chinese: 冼夫人; pinyin: Xiǎn Fūrén; Jyutping: sin2 fu1 jan4; Vietnamese: Tiển phu nhân; 512–602), also known as Lady of Qiao Guo (or Ch'iao Kuo; Chinese: 譙國夫人), born as Xian Zhen (冼珍),[1] was a noblewoman of the Li people, born to the chieftain of the Xian tribe in Southern China, in what is now Guangdong during the Sui dynasty.[citation needed] She has been deified as the "Saintly Mother of Lingnan" (岭南圣母). She died during a tour of Hainan.[2] Former Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai called her "the First Heroine of China", and Chinese Communist Party general secretary Jiang Zemin praised her as "the role model that the later generations should learn forever".[3] Lady Xian is depicted in the Wu Shuang Pu (無雙譜, Table of Peerless Heroes) by Jin Guliang.
