Jun 5, 2025 © Ulrich Theobald

Yong Daoxi 雍道晞 (d. 500), also called Yong Daoshu 雍道曙, was a rebel during the Southern Qi period 南齊 (479-502).

He hailed from the commandery of Baxi 巴西 (today's Mianyang 绵阳, Sichuan), and in 500 assembled an army of peasant rebels. He adopted the title of General defending the west (zhenxi jiangjun 鎮西將軍) and proclaimed the reign-motto Jianyi 建義. The rebels besieged the city of Baxi, but an army under Li Fengbo 李奉伯 defeated them, and Yong died in the battle. The fights against the remaining rebels lasted for some time. A smaller rebellion in Sichuan was led by Zhao Xubo 趙續伯. Another rebel, Cheng Yanqi 程延期, killed the governor of Jiangyang 江陽, He Facang 何法藏.
