A Confucian scholar during the Insei period of the late Heian period. Son of Dai-gaiki Kiyohara Sukeyasu. Appointed as a junior gaki in 1142, he became a direct lecturer in 1150, a resident and assistant professor at the Record Office in 1156, and became Dai-gaiki around 1166, working during the turbulent period. During this time he was recognized by Fujiwara no Yorinaga and participated in his lectures, becoming the teacher of Yorinaga's eldest son Kanenaga. In 1175 he became a doctor of Myotsuge, and in 1179 he became a tutor to Emperor Takakura. After the Hogen Rebellion (1156), he was temporarily confined to himself, but gained the trust of Kujo Kanezane, and when Kanezane became a naikan in 1185 and regent in 1189, he assisted him, and when the Record Office was restored in 1189 he became a resident and submitted policy reports by imperial decree of Emperor Goshirakawa. Many of his teachings, such as the "Shunju Jingchuan Jiji", are written by him, and he is an important figure in the history of classical Chinese studies. He is revered as the founder of the restoration of the Ming-Chinese and Taoist schools, and is enshrined at Kurumazaki Shrine in Kyoto. <References> Atsushi Mukai, "Kiyohara Yorinari" ("Japanese History Research" No. 3), Yoshio Wajima, "Kiyohara Yorinari Theory" ("Otemae Women's University Review" No. 5)
