Chinese character(s) for xing?[edit]

I think including the Chinese character (or characters, if they differ in Traditional and Simplified) for xing in parenthesis would be a good idea. Unfortunately, I don't have any sources on this and, being familiar with Chinese characters only through Japanese, I cannot even attempt to guess. Does anybody know what it is?　VonPeterhof (talk) 09:08, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Chinese character is "性". Both Yang Zhu and Mencius incorporated the concept into their philosophies.--Theconsequentialist (talk) 12:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's 性. Also, the Traditional is 楊朱學派. The.yangist (talk) 03:42, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
