Hsun Tzu
(Hsun Ch’ing, Hsun Kuan, c. 335-286 B.C.) For thirty years travelled, offered his service to the various powerful feudal states, and succeeded in becoming a high officer of Ch’i and Ch’u. A great critic of all contemporary schools, he greatly developed Confucianism, became the greatest Confucian except Mencius.
