Wang Yansi (c. 872–966),
Min. Though most of his recommendations were ignored (especially those concerning Min's relationship vis-à-vis Later Liang after the Tang collapsed in 907), he successfully convinced Wang Shenzhi against assuming imperial titles. After Wang Shenzhi's death, Wang Yansi went into retirement in the mountains when his adoptive brothers Wang Yanhan, Wang Yanbing and Wang Yanjun
were engaged in fratricidal wars. Later in his life he taught Confucian classics and changed his name to Tang Yansi.
