Doubts concerning Confucius' authorship of the Wings were expressed by Ouyang Xiu 歐陽脩 (1007-1072) and Sima Guang 司馬光 (1019-1086) during the Northern Song dynasty. They were further consolidated by Yao Jiheng zh:姚際恆 (1647-1715, Qing dynasty) and Kang Youwei 康有為 (1858-1927, Qing/republican transition period). The 20 c. sinologists provide argumentation for rejection of the traditional creed.
