Features: During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Chinese history witnessed an unprecedented flourishing of academia with numerous schools of thought emerging and competing. The various academic ideas produced during this time largely shaped the fundamental framework of traditional Chinese culture. This period is considered the "Axial Age" of Chinese culture, and it was during this time that the traditional Chinese humanism of our nation was essentially established. This book describes the outline of the theoretical framework of traditional Chinese humanism during this period.
