A genius of classics and history-Huang Zongxi and his classic concepts

Huang Zongxi follows but outdoes his teachers Wang Yangming, and Liu Jishan. In his teachings of the classics Huang has distinguished himself from his predecessors in that many of his concepts are uniquely creative. His arguments are clear for ontological and objective targets, or taking all classics as a whole. And his oppositions are equally resolute to the dominance of science over history. All this helps relieve the tension between psychology and literature, realism, and Buddhism, thus proving considerably influential to the academic studies of the nation, in particular, the east of Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty.
