Cheng Hao |
0.03 sec. |
Cheng Haoor Ch'eng Hao(born 1032, Henan, China—died 1085, Henan) Chinese philosopher who, with his brother Cheng Yi, developed Neo-Confucianism into an organized philosophical school. Cheng Hao studied Buddhism, Daoism, and then Confucianism. He was dismissed from Chinese government service for opposing the reforms of Wang Anshi, and he joined his brother in Henan, where they gathered a circle of disciples. The brothers built their philosophies on the concept of li (basic truths), but Cheng Hao stressed calm introspection while Cheng Yi stressed investigation of the myriad things of the universe and participation in human affairs. Cheng Hao's idealism was continued by Lu Xiangshan and Wang Yangming. How to thank TFD for its existence?
