Features: This book adopts a longitudinal research method, analyzing a specific thinker or work in chronological order. The advantage of this approach for the section on ancient Chinese psychological thought is that it provides readers with a clear historical context for the development of psychological thought, as well as a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the psychological ideas of a particular thinker or work. When analyzing the psychological ideas of a thinker or work, the focus is primarily on their general psychological thought, while also discussing their educational psychological thought. Other psychological ideas are omitted due to space constraints. The writing format generally includes: fundamental psychological views, psychological thought on knowledge and deliberation, psychological thought on emotions and desires, psychological thought on will and intention, psychological thought on intelligence, psychological thought on nature and habit, and educational psychological thought. Of course, not every thinker or work has such a comprehensive and systematic psychological thought.
