Yen Yuan

Yen Yuan

Yen Yuan (Chinese: 颜元, Wade-Giles: Yen Hsi-chai (literary form)) (1635 - 1704) founded a practical school of Confucianism to contrast with the more ethereal Neo-Confucianism that had been popular in China for the previous six centuries.

He was born on April 27, 1635 in the Chihli province (now called Hebei) in China and spent his youth in poverty, after his father was taken into the Manchu army and never returned.

He died on September 30, 1704 in the same province.
