Correctly anticipating its reception, the Míng philosopher Lǐ Zhì (“lee jurr”) titled his magnum opus for this action. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this action that the legalist Lǐ Sī (“lee sih”) supposedly oversaw along with the “burying of scholars” during the Qín (“chin”) dynasty.
ANSWER: book burning [or equivalents; accept A Book to Burn or Fénshū; prompt on burning or destroying or equivalents of each]
[10m] Lǐ Zhì’s A Book to Burn denies the “shortsightedness” of these people, paralleling a later argument of the Korean Neo-Confucian Im Yunjidang. These people title a book of “precepts” by Bān Zhāo (“bahn jow”).
ANSWER: women [or female people or equivalents; or nǚrén; accept Women’s Precepts, Lessons for Women, Admonitions for Women, Instructions for Women, or Nǚjiè]
[10h] Lǐ championed a “childlike” form of this concept, which Im Yunjidang (“yoon-jee-dahng”) wrote about during the Horak debate. The Lù–Wáng school is alternately named for its claim that lǐ (“lee”) can be found within this concept, whose two most common English translations are often combined with a hyphen.
ANSWER: heart-mind [or heart-mind; or xīn; or mibal; accept School of Heart, School of Mind, Learning of the Heart-Mind, or “mind is principle”; reject putative equivalents such as “brain”]
