Yao Hetian (Chinese: 姚鶴天; pinyin: Yáohètiān) or Yang Mingchi (Chinese: 姚明池; pinyin: Yáomíng chí) is regarded as the 14th Patriarch by I Kuan Tao and became the first patriarch to be exclusively in their patriarchal lineage. It is from Yao Hetian that the patriarchal lineage between Xiantiandao and Yiguandao diverges.
