The original use of the term Zhangwo come from the treatise ''Considerations of Yang Imperial Expansion'' written in the year 680 by Heian Xiujian, First Minister of the Yang court. Written as a rebuttal to criticism of the aggressive foreign policy posture of the early Yang by the philospher Mei Guan, the original text defended Yang expansion as a divinely ordained rearranging of the world. Mei Guan was executed by burning as a result of his continued opposition to Heian Xiujian. ''Considerations of Yang Imperial Expansion'' was used and adapted by the dynasties that succeeded Yang with changes over time such as emphasizing the role of the Emperor in guiding the nation's effort at 'reclaiming' the birthright of the [[Corummese people]]. | |||
