Excerpt: Yu Ying-shih (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Yú Yingshí; born January 22, 1930 in Tianjin) is a Chinese American historian known for his mastery of sources for Chinese history and philosophy, his ability to synthesize them on a wide range of topics, and for his advocacy for a new Confucianism.
