    True.

    Explanation:

    Ji Kang was a great Chinese artist, scientist, philosopher and thinker. He was very influential in several fields that make up societies such as politics, ethics, music, religion, alchemy and literature.

    He was known to break several social norms and concepts that he believed to be inconsistent with reality.
