Most general studies of Neo-Confucianism focus on the leading thinkers of the Song (960-1279) andMing (1368-1644) dynasties, such as the Cheng brothers (Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi), Zhu Xi, andWang Yangming, with the dominant emphasis being their key philosophicalideas as expressed in their various writings.
