Founded by Xiansheng Bing F. YeYoung in Sacramento California, USA in 2000, YeYoung Culture Studies focuses on the five aspects of traditional Chinese arts for a mindful self-cultivation: Chinese Sages and their Philosophies, Meditation (Qi Gong, Neidan, and Taiji quan), Divination and Numerology (I Ching and Fengshui), Poetry and Calligraphy, and Qin Music. YCS is committed to share and promote these studies and practices, continue to conduct research, publish results, and provide teaching and consulting services to the widest possible audience.
Xiansheng YeYoung was born into the YeYoung Family of the Ming Imperial Clan. He studied arts and philosophy and taught full time at Tiedao University in Lanzhou, China. After June Fourth, 1989, he left China and came to San Francisco, California.
Xiansheng YeYoung's distinctive background comes from his old-fashioned family Literati training, extensive studies with masters and monks, and modern scholarship in the five Chinese classical disciplines. As a grand master level practitioner and a vigorous scholar, he is uniquely situated to mediate between theories and practices, to clarify and/or de-mystify what are often obscure points of theory and practice, and to bring the full benefits of the studies and practices to everyone.
