Wang Yang-ming
(Wang Shou-jen, Wang Poan, 1473-1529) Was a count, a cabinet member, and a general credited with many successful campaigns against invaders and rebels. Drawing his inspiration from the teachings of Lu Hsiangshan, he developed Neo-Confucianism (li hsuch) on the basis of the doctrine of the Mind (hsin hsuch). His complete works, Wang Yang-ming Ch’uan-chi (partial Eng. tr. by F. G. HenkeThe Philosophy of Wang Yang Ming) consist of 38 chuans in several volumes. — W.T.C.
