Dong Zhongshu

View through CrossRef
Dong Zhongshu was a preeminent Confucian scholar of the early Han Empire, often credited with the development of imperial Confucianism as a state ideology. He argued for the singular importance of the Confucian classics as a repository of good governing principles, and the need for the state bureaucracy to staff itself with morally cultivated men. He also appealed to a model of correlative cosmology based on a dynamic interplay of yin–yang forces for his exegetical studies of the Confucian classics, especially theSpring and Autumn Annals.
