Wu Yu-pi was a Neo-Confucian figure of the early Ming who distinguished himself as a local teacher in his native Kiangsi province. While studying for the civil service examinations in his youth, he suddenly decided to forgo a political career and instead devote his life to the pursuit of sagehood, away from the centers of political and cultural activity. To this end, he kept a journal to keep track of his progress. Over the years, Wu attracted a wide following of students, including three of the leading Neo-Confucians of the next generation, Ch'en Hsien-chang, Lou Liang, and Hu Chu-jen. Late in his life, he was summoned to court for a position, one which he declined.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Wu Yu-pi was a Neo-Confucian figure of the early Ming who distinguished himself as a local teacher in his native Kiangsi province. While studying for the civil service examinations in his youth, he suddenly decided to forgo a political career and instead devote his life to the pursuit of sagehood, away from the centers of political and cultural activity. To this end, he kept a journal to keep track of his progress. Over the years, Wu attracted a wide following of students, including three of the leading Neo-Confucians of the next generation, Ch'en Hsien-chang, Lou Liang, and Hu Chu-jen. Late in his life, he was summoned to court for a position, one which he declined.
520 $a The dissertation is divided into two major parts. The first part focuses on the life and thought of Wu. It begins by placing him in the context of the political and intellectual background of the early Ming, including the effects on Neo-Confucianism of the policies of the first several Ming emperors and also trends in thought of contemporary Neo-Confucians such as Ts'ao Tuan and Hsueh Hsuan. After presenting a short biography of Wu, the study proceeds to discuss Wu's Journal, one of the earliest extant pieces of extended self-revelatory writing in China. The Journal includes Wu's dreams and poetry, as well as his personal reflections on sagehood, and reveals Wu as a highly emotional personality with great attachment to the sages of the past and deep feeling for the natural world around him. The value of the Journal is underscored as a vivid document of one particular person's attempt to actualize in his life basic Neo-Confucian teachings. From the historical point of view, the Journal gives evidence of the particular tensions and difficulties experienced by early Ming figures in trying to live out in different circumstances teachings which had developed in the earlier Sung period.
520 $a Part one ends with a look at Wu as a teacher, and includes his philosophy of education and his relationship with his students. His popularity as a teacher would indicate that his particular value-oriented approach to education answered to a real need felt by students of the time for an alternative to education than that provided by the official system. The second part of the dissertation includes an annotated translation of Wu's Journal as well as selected letters of his.
