Korean Confucianism
Under the succeeding Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, Confucian ideas gained even more widespread prominence. During the Song Dynasty, the scholar Zhu Xi (AD 1130–1200) added ideas from Taoism and Buddhism into Confucianism. In his life, Zhu Xi was largely ignored, but not long after his death his ideas became the new orthodox view of what Confucian texts actually meant. Modern historians view Zhu Xi as having created something rather different, and call his way of thinking Neo-Confucianism. Neo-Confucianism held sway in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam until the 19th century.
Yang Xi (Three Kingdoms)
Yang Xi (died 261), courtesy name Wenran, was an official of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He is best known for writing the "Ji Han Fuchen Zan" (季漢輔臣贊; pub. 241), a collection of praises of notable persons who served in the Shu Han state. Chen Shou, the third-century historian who wrote the "Records of the Three Kingdoms" ("Sanguozhi"), extensively quoted and annotated Yang Xi's collection.
