From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Academy of the Gate of Chi was the most famous scholarly academy of early China. It was founded around 318 BC in the state of Qi (modern Shandong province). Scholars came from great distances to lodge in the academy, with the most important scholar holding the rank of Great Prefect. Notable scholars who worked at the academy included the Daoist philosophers Tian Pian, Shen Dao, and Peng Meng; the founder of the Yin-Yang school of philosophy Zou Yan; the Mohist philosopher Song Xing; and the Confucian philosopher Mencius.[1]
