Everything about Cheng Yi Philosopher totally explained
Cheng Yi (
1033–
1107),
courtesy name Zhengshu (正叔), also known as
Mr. Yinchuan (伊川先生), was a
Chinese philosopher born in
Luoyang during the
Song Dynasty. He worked with his older brother
Cheng Hao (程灏), a tutor to
Zhu Xi. Like his brother, he was a student of
Zhou Dunyi, a friend of
Shao Yong, and a nephew of
Zhang Zai. The five of them along with
Sima Guang are called the
Six Great Masters of the
11th century by Zhu Xi.
Cheng entered the national university in
1056, and received the "presented scholar" degree in
1059. He lived and taught in Luoyang, and declined numerous appointments to high offices. In
1086, he was appointed expositor-in-waiting and gave many lectures to the emperor on
Confucianism. He was more aggressive and obstinate than his brother, and made several enemies, including
Su Shi, the leader of the
Sichuan group. In
1097, his enemies were able to ban his teachings, confiscate his properties, and banish him. He was pardoned three years later, but was blacklisted and again his work was banned in
1103. He was finally pardoned in
1106, one year before his death.
