Cheng Yi was one of the leading philosophers of Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song (960-1279). Together with his elder brother Cheng Hao, he strove to restore the tradition of Confucius and Mencius in the name of “the study of dao” (School ofUniversal Principle), which eventually became the main thread of Neo-Confucianism. Despite diverse disagreements between them, the two brothers are usually lumped together as the Cheng Brothers to signify their common contribution to Neo-Confucianism.
Cheng Yi asserted a Universal Principle (transcendental principle, li) as an ontological substance. It is a principle that accounts for both the existence of nature and morality. He also asserted that human nature is identical with The Universal Principle (li) and is originally good. The way of moral cultivation for Cheng Yi is through composure and extension of knowledge which is a gradual way towards sagehood. These ideas deviate from his brother’s philosophy as well as from Mencius’. They were developed into a school for the study of li (Li Xue), as a rival to the study of the heart-mind (Xin Xue), which was initiated by Cheng Hao and inherited by Lu Xiangshan (1139-1193) and Wang Yangming (1472-1529). Cheng Yi’s thought had a great impact on Zhu Xi (1130-1200).
