Lu Jiuyuan ( Chinese  陸九淵  /  陆九渊 , Pinyin Lù Jiǔyuān , W.-G. Lu Chiu-yüan ; born 1139 ; died 1193 ), also Lu Xiangshan ( 陆 象山 , Lù Xiàngshān , Lu Hsiang-shan ), was an important Neoconfucian philosopher the time of the Southern Song Dynasty . He was the founder of the school of the mind ( 心 學  /  心 学 , xīnxué ).

He regarded the spirit as the origin of the world. He said, "The universe is my mind and my mind is the universe."

His idealistic direction of Neoconfucianism ( Lu-Wang school ) developed later by the philosopher Wang Yangming (1472–1529; also Wang Shouren) in the time of the Ming dynasty became one of the "dominant philosophical teachings of China and Japan".

An anthology edited by Philip J. Ivanhoe with writings from the Lu Wang School contains selected translations from Lu’s writings, Wang Yangming (Wang Shouren) and the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Dharma Ancestor ( 六祖坛经 , Liùzǔ tánjīng ), a work that profoundly influenced neo-Confucian thought.

The “differences and similarities” between the philosophers Zhu Xi (1130–1200) and Lu Xiangshan (Lu Jiuyuan) are discussed in Chinese under the heading Zhu-Lu yitong ( 朱 陸 異同  /  吾心 ). The Cheng Zhu School is in opposition to the Lu Wang School.

A biography of Lu from Yang Jian (1140–1226) is included in the edition of his Complete Works ( Xiangshan xiansheng quanji ).
