description: "Dong Zhongshu was a Chinese philosopher, politician, and writer of the Han dynasty. He is traditionally associated with the promotion of Confucianism as the official ideology of the Chinese imperial state, favoring heaven worship over the tradition of cults celebrating the five elements. Enjoying great influence in the court in the last decades of his life, his adversary \nGongsun Hong ultimately \npromoted his partial retirement from political life by banishing him to the Chancellery of Weifang, but his teachings were transmitted from there."
