Yoon Mun-ja - Inbunshi

A scholar of the Jixi School of Learning that arose in Linzi, the capital of the Qi Dynasty, in the middle of the Warring States period in China. Or a book written by Yin Wen. A volume of Yin Wenzi is recorded in the section on famous families in the Art and Literature Journal of the Book of Han by Ban Gu, but it no longer exists. The current two volumes of Yin Wenzi are a forgery from the time of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. According to the description in the World Edition of the Zhuangzi, Yin Wen, along with the Song Dynasty, seems to have advocated a ceasefire and peace accord, from a Taoist perspective, by prohibiting attacks and sleeping soldiers. It is believed that Yin Wen was listed as a famous family in later generations because he advocated the Taoist theory of correct name. Guo Moruo (1826-1912) presented the groundbreaking view that the first and second chapters of the "Psychological Technique," the "White Heart" chapter, and the "Internal Work" chapter in the "Guanzi" are the documents of the Song-Yin literary school. According to this view, the posthumous theories of Yin Wenzi are conveyed in the "White Heart" chapter.

中国、戦国時代中期、斉(せい)の都、臨淄(りんし)におこった「稷下(しょくか)の学」の学士の一人。または尹文が著した書。班固(はんこ)『漢書(かんじょ)』芸文志(げいもんし)の名家(めいか)の項に、『尹文子』1編が記録されているが、現存しない。現行本『尹文子』2巻は、魏晋(ぎしん)のころの偽作。『荘子(そうじ)』天下編の記述によれば、尹文は宋(そうけい)とともに、道家(どうか)的な立場から、禁攻寝兵すなわち停戦和平の論を唱えたようである。後世、尹文が名家に列せられるのは、彼が道家風の正名説を主張したことによるものと思われる。郭沫若(かくまつじゃく)は、『管子(かんし)』中の心術上・下編、白心編、内業編をもって宋・尹文学派の文献とする画期的見解を提出した。この見解に従うなら、尹文子の遺説は白心編に伝えられていることになる。
