** Xun Zi ( c. 312 BC – 230 BC )

** Xun Zi, another Confucius ' follower, closer to realism, teacher of Han Fei and Li Si

In the centuries after his death, Mencius () and Xun Zi () both composed important teachings elaborating in different ways on the fundamental ideas associated with Confucius.

Mencius ( 4th century BC ) articulated the innate goodness in human beings as a source of the ethical intuitions that guide people towards rén, yì, and lǐ, while Xun Zi ( 3rd century BC ) underscored the realistic and materialistic aspects of Confucian thought, stressing that morality was inculcated in society through tradition and in individuals through training.

* Xun Zi, founder of Legalism ( philosophy )

Other philosophers, theorists, and schools of thought in this era were Mozi, founder of Mohism ; Mencius, a famous Confucian who expanded upon Confucius ' legacy ; Shang Yang and Han Fei, responsible for the development of ancient Chinese Legalism ( the core philosophy of the Qin Dynasty ); and Xun Zi, who was arguably the center of ancient Chinese intellectual life during his time, even more so than iconic intellectual figures such as Mencius.

Ideological antipathy towards the Legalist State of Qin was established as early as 266 BC, when Confucian philosopher Xun Zi disparaged it.

The Confucian thinker Xun Zi is sometimes considered as being influenced by or having nourished Legalist ideas, mostly because of two of his disciples ( Li Si and Han Fei ).

The Confucian Xun Zi strongly criticized Shen Buhai's emphasis on secrecy and lack of trust in ministers.

Thus, students learn Chinese culture by reading not only Confucius, Laozi and Zhuangzi, but also Mencius, Xun Zi, Han Feizi, and Mozi, as well as historical narratives by Sima Qian and the Zuo Zhuan, the later movement of Neo-Confucianism and Zhu Xi, narrative works such as Journey to the West or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the great Chinese poets, Li Bai, Wang Wei and Du Fu.

After having finished his education with the famous Confucian thinker Xun Zi, he moved to the State of Qin, the most powerful state at that time in an attempt to advance his political career.

In 238 BC, Lord Chunshen was assassinated by a court rival and Xun Zi subsequently lost his position.

Instead, Xun Zi asserts that heaven is simply the natural world ; thus people should focus on the human, social realm, rather than dealing with heavenly ideas.

br: Xun Zi

The title was briefly revived from 12 December 1915 to 22 March 1916 by President Yuan Shikai and again in early July 1917 when General Zhang Xun attempted to restore last Qing emperor Puyi to the throne.

They included Zhang Xun ( who attempted to restore the Qing dynasty in 1917 ), Xu Shichang ( President of the Republic of China 1918 – 22 ), Cao Kun ( President 1922 – 24 and leader of the Zhili military clique ), Duan Qirui (" Prime Minister " during much of 1916 – 20 and leader of the Anhui military clique ) and Feng Guozhang ( President 1917 – 18 and founder of the Zhili clique ).

On one hand he recommended many other men of calibre to Cao Cao, including Xun You ( his nephew ), Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, Guo Jia and Sima Yi, creating a body of advisors around Cao ; at the same time he participated in several battles and major events of the era, often giving timely advice to his master.

On January 6, 249, Cao Shuang and his two brothers, Cao Xi and Cao Xun ( 曹訓 ), left the capital city to accompany the

It was also at Xun Yu's suggestion that Cao Cao chose to escort Emperor Xian of Han, who was then living in the ruins of Luoyang, to his own base at Xu ( present-day Xuchang, Henan ) in 196, taking on the role of protecting the emperor.

San community representatives declared a preference to be known either by their individual community names (! Xun or ‡ Khomani, for example ) or collectively as Bushmen, rather than as San or Khoisan.

His brother Su Zhe () and his father Su Xun () were both famous literati.

Lu Xun established several forts and reinforced the existing citadels instead of directly contesting Liu Bei's advance.

* 233 BC – Han Fei, Chinese philosopher who, along with Li Si, has developed Xun Zi's philosophy into the doctrine embodied by the School of Law ( or Legalism ) ( b. c. 280 BC )

For example, he correctly trusted the faithful Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin, so much so that he made a duplicate imperial seal and left it with Lu Xun ; whenever he would correspond with Shu's emperor Liu Shan or regent Zhuge Liang, he would deliver the letter to Lu Xun first ( as Lu's post was near the Shu border ), and then if, in Lu's opinion, changes were needed, he would revise the letter and then restamp it with Sun's imperial seal.

Further, Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin were authorized to coordinate their actions with Shu without prior imperial approval.

That year, he sent his generals Wei Wen ( 衛溫 ) and Zhuge Zhi ( 諸葛直 ) with a navy of 10, 000 into the East China Sea to seek the legendary islands of Yizhou ( 夷洲 ) and Danzhou ( 亶洲 ) to seek to conquer them, despite strenuous opposition of Lu Xun and Quan Cong.

In 234, in coordination with Zhuge Liang's final northern expedition against Wei, Sun Quan personally led a major attack against Wei's border city Hefei, while having Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin attack Xiangyang, with the strategy of trying to attract Wei relief forces and then attacking them.

Only after Sun Quan's food supplies ran low did Cao Rui personally arrive with reinforcements, and Sun withdrew, as did Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin.

After that, he worked together with Lu Xun to fight for the right of the society and the revolutionary movement in literature.

The Yiwen Leiju encyclopedia was completed by Ouyang Xun in 624 during the Tang Dynasty, with aid from scholars Linghu Defen and Chen Shuda.

There are many musical instruments that are integral to Chinese culture, such as the Xun ( Ocarina-type instrument that is also integral in Native American cultures ), Guzheng ( zither with movable bridges ), guqin ( bridgeless zither ), sheng and xiao ( vertical flute ), the erhu ( alto fiddle or bowed lute ), pipa ( pear-shaped plucked lute ), and many others.

However, things did not turn out as the communists had hoped: Fang Zhimin's force was crushed after its initial success, and with Xun Weizhou killed in action, nearly every commander in this force was wounded and captured alive, including Fang Zhimin himself, and all were executed later by the nationalists.

Lu Xun personally led an attack on Shu forces together with Xu Sheng and Han Dang, and succeeded in preventing Liu Bei from making his last stand.

Also in fall 496, the crown prince Yuan Xun, who did not adjust well to Han customs or the much hotter weather in Luoyang, plotted with his followers to flee back to Pingcheng, perhaps to hold that city against his father.
