# Ximen Bao

> Ximen Bao was a Chinese hydraulic engineer, philosopher, and politician. He was a government minister and court advisor to Marquis Wen of Wei during the Warring States period of ancient China. He was known as an early rationalist, who had the State of Wei abolish the practice of sacrificing people to the river god He Bo. Although the earlier statesman Sunshu Ao is credited as China's first hydraulic engineer, Ximen Bao is nonetheless credited as the first engineer in China to create a large canal irrigation system.

*4th-century BC Chinese philosopher and engineer*
