- Title
Intertextual Alliances: Huang Hui's Synthesis of Confucian and Buddhist Paths to Liberation.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article argues for a reconsideration of how we categorize individual attempts at sanjiao heyi-style syntheses and characterize the broader late sixteenth-century milieu that nourished such attempts. In Zeng Zheng Kunyan bieyan ... (Parting Words for Zheng Kunyan), Huang Hui ... (1555-1612) synthesized a highly selective number of Chan Buddhist and Yangming Confucian ideas to create a path to self-cultivation rooted in the interstitial dialogue between the branch of third-generation Yangming Confucians headed by Zhou Rudeng ... (1547-1629) and the Buddhist teachings expounded by the monk Zhuhong ... (1535-1615). Unlike Confucian scholars who wrote polemical sanjiao heyi texts, Huang was an enthusiastic synthesizer intent on benefiting from both Buddhist and Confucian traditions. A close analysis of his work offers one illustration of how such syntheses were constructed while further revealing the broader philosophical discourse generated by Huang's circle.
