'''Xunzi''' (Hsün Tzu) (298 - 238 B.C.) was one of the three original [[Confucian]] [[philosophers]]. The most important concept in Xunzi's philosophy is the Way (dao). The term originally referred to a path, however, it has been extended to a way of doing things, a way of acting, or the right way to live.  The style of writing in the Xunzi is quite indifferent, and the Xunzi was rejected in favour of the [[Mencius]] in the neo-Confucian imperial corpus; many see the decision to be as a result of the Mencius' superior style, and not superior content.  On the other hand, whilst Mencius believed that humans are naturally good, and it is enough to let their natural inclinations surface, Xunzi believed that all humans are naturally "bad", and that, through schooling and Confucian-style self-cultivation, humans can become "good."
