The Lin Yuan 林辕
Paul PengShare
Lin Yuan was a native of Fujian during the late Song and early Yuan dynasties. His courtesy name was Shenfeng, and his literary name was Xuanchaozi.
He wrote Gushen Pian (Essays on the Valley Spirit), which consists of two volumes. His theories inherited the teachings of the Ziyang Southern Sect (a branch of Taoism), while placing unique emphasis on the "primordial qi" (a core concept in traditional Chinese philosophy referring to the fundamental vital energy of the universe), thus forming his own distinctive academic perspective.
