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 Yiguandao 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.
