Zhu Xi (Chu Hsi, Hsu Chi), 1130-1200. Confucian scholar and founder of the Neo-Confucian movement. Opposed Buddhist influences in Chinese thought, and based his own philosophy on a return to the Confucian canon. An intimate knowledge of his writings was required to pass state examinations in China and Korea until modern times.
