Features: After the May Fourth Movement, the study of the Pre-Qin philosophers was primarily based on philosophy and the history of political thought. Regarding their origins and the relationship with folk culture (folk literature and folklore), although some works touched upon these aspects, there were few systematic interpretations. This book argues from the perspective of social and cultural development history, exploring the intrinsic connections between the philosophical systems of the Pre-Qin philosophers and folk culture. It reveals the continuity in the development of Pre-Qin academic thought and makes pioneering contributions by proposing original insights. The book is rich in academic content and research value.
