Chinese character(s) for xing?

I think including the Chinese character (or characters, if they differ in Traditional and Simplified) for xing in parenthesis would be a good idea. Unfortunately, I don't have any sources on this and, being familiar with Chinese characters only through Japanese, I cannot even attempt to guess. Does anybody know what it is?　VonPeterhof (talk) 09:08, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

The Chinese character is "性". Both Yang Zhu and Mencius incorporated the concept into their philosophies.--Theconsequentialist (talk) 12:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

It's 性. Also, the Traditional is 楊朱學派. The.yangist (talk) 03:42, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Other possible Yangist documents

A.C. Graham in his Disputers of the Tao has argued that parts of the Chuang Tzu are Yangist teachings that were incorporated into that work. -- llywrch (talk) 23:23, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Xiaogan Liu wouldn't agree that all of Graham's named chapters are "Yangist" if anyone wants me to talk about it.FourLights (talk) 05:53, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

"School of Selfishness" ??

The page description seems to use a negative, i.e. judgemental term. Is this use of "selfishness" technical? Mastakos (talk) 19:29, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
