Kaiho Gyoson study with Oota Kinnjyou(1765-1825), who is roughly quite to the scholars uring the period in the reign of Chinese Emperor Qianlong, Jiaqing. In Bunka and Bunsei eras(1804-1830), a lot of introduction of textual research and science related books in Japan, basically negate Yi Diqing academic. Its reason lies in alternation between the Ming and the Qing Dynasties, which resulted in a broken down on orthodoxy.
