 Little is known of Yin Wen (fl. late 4th century B.C.E.), and it is unclear why the Han History classifies him with the “School of Names.” Perhaps the one scroll of writings by him mentioned in the “Bibliographical Treatise” was about language. What little information we have about him comes mainly from two sources, the “Under Heaven” essay and The Annals of Lü Buwei, both of which are considerably later than his lifetime and thus must be taken mainly to be reporting legend. Neither text attributes to him views on language or disputation. “Under Heaven” links him to Song Xing, his teacher or colleague, and the pair were among the many scholars who gathered at Jixia in Qi under the patronage of King Xuan (r. 319–301  B.C.E.).[9]  Xunzi rebuts several of Song Xing’s doctrines at length but does not mention Yin Wen.
