Gāo Pānlóng 高攀龍 (1562–1626), zì Yúncóng 雲從 / Cúnzhī 存之, hào Jǐngyì 景逸, posthumous title Zhōngxiàn 忠憲, was a late-Míng Lǐxué scholar, official, and one of the principal leaders of the Dōnglín 東林 movement, from Wúxī 無錫 (Chángzhōu 常州, modern Jiāngsū 江蘇). He passed the jìnshì examination in Wànlì jǐchǒu 萬曆己丑 = 1589, rose to Minister of Personnel left vice-vice-vice and ultimately Left Censor-in-Chief (Zuǒ dū yùshǐ 左都御史); after the Yuè Wèizhōng 魏忠賢 eunuch faction’s purge of the Dōnglín circle in 1626, Gāo committed suicide by drowning. He was posthumously honored with the title Vice Tutor to the Heir Apparent and Minister of War, with the posthumous title Zhōngxiàn. His biography is in the Míng shǐ 明史.
His scholarship combines a recovery of Zhū Xī orthodoxy with selective appropriation of Lù Jiǔyuān 陸九淵 and Wáng Yángmíng 王陽明 mind-learning. The Zhōuyì yìjiǎn shuō 周易易簡說 (KR1a0106) reads the Yì through the lens of mental cultivation: the work’s title alludes to the Xìcí’s Qián yǐ yì zhī Kūn yǐ jiǎn néng 乾以易知坤以簡能 (“Qián knows by ease, Kūn is able by simplicity”), and Gāo’s exegesis treats the Yì as the canon for “checking the mind” (jiǎn xīn 檢心) — distinct from, but in dialogue with, the more thorough mind-learning of Yáng Jiǎn 楊簡 and Wáng Zōngchuán 王宗傳, whom the Sìkù editors regard as having pulled the Yì into outright Chán 禪. Gāo’s other major works include the Gāozǐ yí shū 高子遺書 (collected works in 12 juàn) and the Lǐxué zōng zhuàn 理學宗傳 (with Sūn Qífēng 孫奇逢).
