Parliament of Scholars
Coined byHuang Zongxi (1610–1695)
OriginWaiting for the Dawn
TranslatorTed de bary (1919–2017)
EssenceConfucian upper house

Parliament of Scholars[1] (Chinese: 学者议会[2]) is a term used by William Theodore de Bary[3] in his translation of Huang Zongxi's Waiting for the Dawn,[4] and Daniel A. Bell translated this term into "House of Scholars",[5] which was later called the Xianshiyuan[6] (literally, "House of Virtue and Talent").[7]

The proposal to establish a "Parliament of Scholars", which is a Confucian upper house, was first put forward by Huang Zongxi.[8] It is made up of representatives elected on the basis of competitive examinations from the Confucian classics, among other things.[9]

Evaluation[edit]

A Chinese scholar argued that Huang Zongxi's proposal for a Parliament of Scholars was only one step away from the modern representative system.[10]
