Yang Jian - Yokan

Japanese: 楊簡 - ようかん

1141‐1225
A Chinese thinker from the Southern Song Dynasty. His pen name was Jingzhong. He was called Master Cihu and was also known by the pseudonym Yang Cihu. He was from Cixi, Zhejiang Province, and was a leading disciple of Lu Jiuyuan (Xiangshan). He spread the Jiangxi Lu school (the learning of Lu Xiangshan) to Zhejiang. In his book Jiyi (Jiyi), he wrote, "What is easy is oneself...heaven and earth are my heaven and earth, and change is my change," and he pushed Lu Xiangshan's theory of mind-only to an extreme, but it is said that he transformed his teacher's dynamic and lively understanding of the "mind" into something static and conceptual. "Master Cihu's Posthumous Letters" are handed down. [Miura Kunio]
