1. Zhang XuechengZhang Xuecheng(章学诚, 1738–1801) was a Qing Dynasty historian, writer and philosopher. His magnum opus is On Literature and History (《文史通义》), which was published posthumously in 1832. In Zhang's view, Confucianism developed over time in response to the concrete needs of the people for social organization. This developmental view contrasts with the view of the Neo-Confucians that Confucianism is the expression of timeless "principles" or "patterns" that are inherent in the human heart.
