Yan Ying (–500BC), better known as Yanzi, was a Chinese philosopher and minister of the state of Qi during China's Spring and Autumn period. An elder contemporary of Confucius, Yanzi has been described as "by far the most creative thinker of the ''Chunqiu'' age". He is traditionally credited with the Warring States text ''Yanzi Chunqiu'', the ''Annals of Master Yan''.
