Wang Yangming

Wang Shouren (, 26 October 1472 – 9 January 1529), courtesy name '''Bo'an (), art name Yangmingzi (), usually referred to as Wang Yangming''' (), was a Chinese philosopher, general, politician, writer, and calligrapher during the Ming dynasty. After Zhu Xi, he is commonly regarded as the most important Neo-Confucian thinker, for his interpretations of Confucianism that denied the rationalist dualism of the orthodox philosophy of Zhu Xi. Wang and Lu Xiangshan are regarded as the founders as the Lu–Wang school, or the School of the Mind.

In China, Japan, and Western countries, he is known by his honorific name rather than his private name. Provided by Wikipedia
