Wang Yangming was the preeminent [[Confucian]] scholar of the [[Ming Dynasty]]. His teachings included the notion that babies are in possession of full, innate knowledge, and that people drift away from this pure and true understanding as they grow older; Wang advocated, therefore, a freer mode of education, which stimulated and encouraged children's natural enthusiasm and creativity.
