Xunzi (about 313-238 BC), whose name is Kuang and the word is Qing, is of the Han nationality. He is also known as Sunqing because he avoids the taboo of emperor Xuandi of the Western Han Dynasty and has the same ancient pronunciation as "Xun" and "sun". At the end of the Warring States period in the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao people were born. He is a famous thinker, writer, politician and one of the representatives of Confucianism. He once served as a sacrificial wine in the imperial palace of Qi Guoji three times, and later served as an order of Chu Lanling (now Shandong Lanling). Xunzi developed Confucianism and advocated the theory of evil nature, which is often compared with Mencius' theory of good nature. It also contributed to the reorganization of Confucian classics.
