Xunzi (325-238 BC) was a philosopher and educator in China at the end of the Warring States Period. Master of materialist philosophy in pre-Qin period.
Xunzi's name is Qing. Zhao (now southern Shanxi Province) was born. It is said that at the age of 0/5,/kloc-went to Xia Ji, Qi to "study and travel" and later became a prestigious leader under Xia Ji. He was recruited to the Qin Dynasty around 264 BC. From the standpoint of Confucianism, he put forward the proposal of "preserving strength and opposing literature" to achieve unity, which was not adopted by the rulers of Qin State. After studying in Zhao and Chu, he was appointed as the order of Lanling (now Lanling Town, Cangshan County, Shandong Province) by Chun. In his later years, he actively engaged in teaching and writing, summed up the theoretical achievements of hundreds of theories, and founded a complete simple materialist philosophy system in the pre-Qin period. His thoughts are reflected in Xunzi, which comprehensively summarizes some important philosophical issues raised in hundred schools of thought's contention in pre-Qin period.
Adapting to the historical trend of feudal unification, Xunzi established his own ideological system by using the method of "uncovering" on the basis of comprehensively criticizing and summarizing the theories of a hundred schools since the Warring States Period, which made an important contribution to the development of simple materialist philosophy in the pre-Qin period. But his theoretical contribution also contains serious historical limitations. As a master of pre-Qin philosophers, Xunzi's thoughts influenced Han Fei, Wang Chong, Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, Yan Fu and Zhang Taiyan in modern times to varying degrees. However, Xunzi's theory has long been regarded as different from Confucian orthodoxy, so it never reached orthodoxy in feudal society. "
