From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhou Dunyi (Chinese: 周敦颐/周敦頤; pinyin: Zhōu Dūnyí; Wade-Giles: Chou Tun-yi; 1017-1073 CE), or Zhou Lianxi (周濂溪; Chou Lien-hsi), was a Chinese Neo-Confucian philosopher and cosmologist during the Song Dynasty. He conceptualized the Neo-Confucian cosmology of the day, explaining the relationship between human conduct and universal forces. In this way, he emphasizes that humans can master their qi ("psycho-physical stuff; vital life energy") in order to accord with nature.
