Yang Xiong [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (4927 words)
Yang Xiong (53 B.C.E. Yang Xiong (Yang Hsiung) was a prolific yet reclusive court poet whose writings and tragic life spanned the collapse of the Former Han dynasty (202 BCE-9 CE) and the brief and catastrophic usurpation of the throne by the Imperial Regent Wang Mang (9-23 CE).
Yang Xiong was born in 53 BCE in the western city of Chengdu in the province of Shu.
His short-lived Xin dynasty marks the dividing line between the Former or Western Han (202 BCE-9 CE) and the Later or Eastern Han (25-220 CE) and, due to widespread rebellion and a series of natural catastrophes, is widely considered one of the most calamitous periods in Chinese history.

Needless to say, the culture of Taisho¯[30] differs from that of the former era by the fact that Japan as a modern state came to confront unprecedented reality: internationally, gain of colonial territories[31] as one phase of its imperialist evolution, and domestically, the emergence of a new working class in the major cities.
The former knowledge system was interrupted, and then later rebuilt according to a different program, which in turn inserted the claims to universality into the discursive system.
