Sima Xiangru
Xun Qing ("Xun Zi") flourished ca. 312–230 BC, during the Warring States period, but the flourishing of the "fu" is identified with the Han dynasty, which was established in 206 BC, and with the hands of authors such as Jia Yi (200 BC – 169 BC) and Sima Xiangru (also known as Ssu-ma Hsiang-ju) (179–127 BC).
