Shao Yong was a philosopher, historian and cosmologist living in the 11th century whose writings cast a profound influence on neo-Confucianism.

China Post recently issued a collection of stamps to mark the 1,010th anniversary of Shao's birth. It features a drawing and a calligraphic tribute by Fan Zeng, as well as drawings of Shao's birth village and the site of Shao's grave.
