Yang Ren is a character in the classic ancient Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods who was rescued by Daode Zhenjun after his eyes were dug out and body discarded by the notorious tyrant King Zhou of the Shang dynasty (ca. 1600-1046 BC). This figure appears in Chinese literature and art usually in an image with eyes growing from hands, and hands growing out of eyes. This facial make-up has not only adopted an exaggerated design on the eyes of Yang Ren, but also achieved breakthrough in the shaping.
