           The Ming dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming (1472-1529) was
           unique among scholars and literati in also being a rebellion-quelling
           general who not only dealt with abstract ideas, but also practical
           issues as well. He is well known for advocating the idea of ‘knowledge
           and action together as one’, as is carved on the present wristrest.
