Wáng Jī 王畿 (1498–1583), zì Rǔzhōng 汝中, hào Lóngxī 龍溪, of Shānyīn 山陰 (modern Shàoxīng, Zhèjiāng). The principal direct disciple of 王守仁 Wáng Shǒurén (Yángmíng) and the leading exponent of the Míng xīnxué “left-wing” (Yángmíng zuǒpài 陽明左派). His Yì essays — drawing the Yì fully into a mind-doctrine reading where xiàng and zhàn dissolve into states of the awakened mind — are one of the principal vehicles for the late-Míng Yì-Chán synthesis in the line that begins with the Sòng xīnxué Yì of 楊簡 Yáng Jiǎn (KR1a0037). His collected sayings are preserved in the Wáng Lóngxī xiānshēng quánjí 王龍溪先生全集.
