Tantai Mieming
Disciple of Confucius (born 512 BC)
Tantai Mieming or Dantai Mieming (Chinese: 澹臺滅明; Wade–Giles: Tan-t'ai Mieh-ming; born 512 BC), also known by his courtesy name Ziyu (Chinese: 子羽; Wade–Giles: Tzu-yü), was a major disciple of Confucius.[1] He was known for being very ugly, but was morally upright. He started his own school in the Yangtze River region, and became a major transmitter of Confucian thoughts. Confucius initially misjudged him because of his bad looks, but later expressed his regret.[1]
