董仲舒
The "Chunqiu Fanlu" "Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals", which is attributed to the Confucianist Dong Zhongshu (179-104 BCE) but compiled later, describes how humans are in a system of relationships with the cosmos, and elevates the notion of resonance to "a full-fledged cosmological theory". This concept was called "tian-ren ganying" 天人感應 "resonance between Heaven and humans", a phrase that first appears in the (3rd-century CE) "Book of Wei" history of Emperor Cao Pi (r. 220-226), and was later used as the title of another text attributed to Dong Zhongshu: "Interactions Between Heaven and Mankind". Dong Zhongshu is sometimes credited with having formalized the doctrine of "ganying" and giving it classical expression.
