Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi of the NorthernSong Dynasty and Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynastyabstracted the concepts of the three cardinal guides andfive ethical norms to "law," and set up Neo-Confucianism,jointly called "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism." It arguedthe validity of despotism and class orders between theruler and the subjects and father and son from the height ofphilosophy. They insisted on deepening experience to preexisting "law" on the basis of experiencing knowledge bymeans of investigation of things and finally understandingthe law. Lu Jiuyuan, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty,proclaimed that "the universe is my mind and vice versa"and one should conduct self-examination. His philosophy iscalled the School of Mind.Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism emphasized the immutability of the three cardinal guides and five ethical normsto maintain the rule of despotism and compress the natural appeal of the people and generated adverse influence.
