Hunan School (English: Hunan School)

Japanese: 湖南学派 - こなんがくは（英語表記）Hú nán xué pài

A branch of Taoism that arose in the Song Dynasty in China. It was so named because it flourished mainly in Hengshan in Hunan Province. It made a clear distinction between the principles of heaven and human desires, righteousness and profit, and China and barbarians, advocated the anti-Buddhism movement, and made strict ethical criticisms of history. Regarding Shingaku, Hu Wufeng (Hong) advocated the theory of discerning and understanding tan'ni. This was a dynamic method of training that suggested that the principles of heaven in the heart appear the moment the heart is moved and is then identified and expanded. This was passed on to his disciple Zhang Shu (Nanxuan) and had a major influence on Zhu Xi during the formative years of his thought.

中国，宋代に興った道学の一分派。湖南省の衡山（こうざん）を中心に栄えたのでこう呼ぶ。天理と人欲，義と利，華(中国)と夷(異民族)を峻別し，排仏論をとなえ，歴史に対しては厳格な倫理批判を行った。また，心学に関しては胡五峯(宏)が察識端倪（たんげい）説をとなえている。これは，心のなかの天理は心が動く已発（いはつ）の瞬間に出現するから，それを見きわめ拡充してゆくというダイナミックな修養法で，その弟子の張栻（ちようしよく）(南軒)に伝えられ，思想形成期の朱熹に大きな影響を与えた。
