Yan Wuyou
Disciple of Confucius (born c. 545 BC)
In this Chinese name, the family name is Yan.
Yan Wuyou (Chinese: 顏無繇; Wade–Giles: Yen Wu-yu; born 545 BC), courtesy name Lu (路), also known as Yan Lu (Chinese: 顏路; Wade–Giles: Yen Lu), was a Chinese philosopher. He was one of the earliest disciples of Confucius. He was the father of Yan Hui, Confucius' favourite disciple.
Life
Yan Wuyou was born in 545 BC, only six years younger than Confucius. He was born in the State of Lu, Confucius' native state.
When his son Yan Hui died in 481 BC, Yan Wuyou asked Confucius to sell his carriage to buy an exterior coffin for Yan Hui. Although Yan Hui was Confucius' favourite disciple who he mourned greatly, Confucius insisted on adhering to ritual proprieties. He said as a member of the shi class, Yan Hui was to be buried with a single layer of coffin, and that was how he buried his own son, Kong Li. Confucius added that as a member of the dafu (minister) class, it was ritually improper for him to walk on foot for official business.

Yan Hui 顏回 (521-481 BCE), courtesy name Yuan 淵 or Ziyuan 子淵, called Yanzi 顏子 "Master Yan", was the most important disciple of Confucius. He came from Lu 魯, the home state of Confucius, and is later also known as Yan Shu 顏叔 "Uncle Yan" or Yan Sheng 顏生 "Master Yan". His father Yan Wuyao 顏無繇, courtesy name Lu 路, was one of the earliest adherents of Confucius.
Yan Hui was 30 years younger than his Master and must have died at an early age. Various sources talk of different ages of 18, 29, 31 of 41 sui, of which the last figure seems to be the most probable.
Yan Hui grew up in a poor family, but he had an immense love of learning. He therefore never accepted an office and preferred being a disciple of Confucius. The Master esteemed Yan Hui very highly and praised him for his noble and humankind behaviour. "He was flagging when I set forth anything to him," the Master said, and: "Yan Hui was such that for three months there would be nothing in his mind contrary to perfect virtue. With a single bamboo dish of rice, a single gourd dish of drink, and

Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period/Yen Yüan
YEN Yüan 顏元 (T. 易直, 渾然, H. 習齋, childhood name 園兒, his name before 1673 being Chu Pang-liang 朱邦良), Apr. 27, 1635–1704, Sept. 30, founder of a pragmatic school of philosophy, was born and reared in the village of Liu-ts'un 劉村 in the district of Li-hsien, Chihli, but took residence after 1673 in his ancestral village of Pei-yang ts'un 北楊村 in the neighboring district of Po-yeh. His father, Yen Ch'ang 顏昶 (1617–1672), was adopted by a man of Liu-ts'un named Chu Chiu-tso 朱九祚 (T. 盛軒, d.1673) and therefore took the surname Chu. In 1638, when Yen Yüan himself was only three years old, his father was forced to accompany invading Manchu soldiers back to Manchuria and never returned. As Yen Yüan grew up he knew that his father had been taken away, but believed him to be, like himself, of the surname Chu. At the age of five sui he accompanied his foster grandfather to the district city of Li-hsien where the latter was serving as a minor local official. There, from 1642 to 1646, he studied under Wu Ch'i
