Home›Chinese Religious & Philosophical Figures›Gender›MaleBrowse ByMaleThis page groups historical religious figures by gender, letting a visitor separate, for example, the women prophets and mystics a tradition recorded from the men. Wikipedia defines gender as "the range of social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral aspects of being a man (or boy), woman (or girl), or portraying a third gender." Many traditions recorded far fewer women in positions of religious authority, so this grouping also shows that imbalance directly.FactsMaleConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1MaleFilter Results27 entriesTraditionAllChristianity (2)Confucianism (11)Taoism (8)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (25)Historicity debated (1)Legendary: known from narrative tradition, not the historical record (1)Member OfAllCelestial Masters (1)EraAll-1090 to -1035 (1)-145 to -86 (1)-179 to -104 (1)-280 to -233 (1)-305 to -240 (1)-470 to -391 (1)-481 to -402 (1)-505 to -435 (1)-77 to -37 (1)1011 to 1077 (1)1017 to 1073 (1)1032 to 1085 (1)1113 to 1170 (1)1148 to 1227 (1)1247 to 1464 (1)1472 to 1529 (1)1501 to 1570 (1)1656 to 1730 (1)1815 to 1897 (1)1858 to 1927 (1)1873 to 1930 (1)1904 to 1969 (1)226 to 249 (1)330 to 386 (1)34 to 156 (1)365 to 448 (1)456 to 536 (1)Revered InAllChristianity (1)Taoism (6)Manner Of DeathAllDied by suicide (1)Died of natural causes (2)Disputed (1)Executed (2)Office HeldAllFirst Professor of Chinese, University of Oxford, from 1876 (1)Regent for the young King Cheng of Zhou (1)NationalityAllChina (16)France (1)Germany (1)Korea (South) (1)Taiwan (1)United Kingdom (1)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (17)Officially Recognized or Venerated (2)Popularly or Locally Venerated (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 27Cheng HaoMaleDong ZhongshuMaleDuke of ZhouMaleHan FeiziMaleJames LeggeMaleJing FangMaleJoachim BouvetMaleKang YouweiMaleKou QianzhiMaleMoziMaleQiu ChujiMaleRichard WilhelmMaleShao YongMaleSima QianMaleTao HongjingMaleWang BiMaleWang ChongyangMaleWang YangmingMaleYang XiMaleYi HwangMaleZengziMaleZhang DaolingMaleZhang EnpuMaleZhang SanfengMaleZhou DunyiMaleZisiMaleZou YanMaleConnectionsAssociated WithYijing, Historical Figures Well-attested This source names Yijing directly: "Taoist patriarchs and priestesses, the Yijing scholars and commentators, and the Confucian and Legalist philosophers whose systems shaped Chinese religious and political life alike, since the..."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Sources1.
