Yin Wen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yin Wen ( Chinese  尹文 , Pinyin Yǐn Wen ), and Yin Wen zi ( Chinese  尹文子 called) (* 360 BC .; † around 280 v. Chr.) Was a Chinese philosopher from the Warring States Period . He was a member of the Jixia Academy ( Chinese  稷下 學 宮 , Pinyin Jìxià xúegōng ) in the ancient state of Qi , the spiritual center of the Chinese world at that time.

Because he represented similar teachings as the philosopher Song Jian ( Chinese  宋 鈃 ), who also belonged to the Jixia Academy , they were referred to as the Song Yin School ( Chinese  宋 尹 学派 ). His writings have long been lost.

Today's book Writings of the Master Yin Wen ( Yin Wen zi Chinese  尹文子 ) is attributed to later authors.
