Features: This book analyzes the individuality of the philosophical wisdom of the Chinese ethnic groups and their unique contributions to the development of human philosophical civilization. Among the four ancient civilizations, and even in the civilizations of all ethnic groups in the world, only Chinese civilization has never been interrupted and has persistently developed, making unique contributions to world civilization. The philosophical reason lies in its skillful analysis, as Chinese philosophers are adept at intuition. Pure analysis is limited to details, while intuition focuses on the whole. Therefore, only Chinese philosophers could grasp the profound philosophical wisdom with national connotations, such as the Yin-Yang theory, the unity of heaven and man, and the harmony in diversity. The spirit of the Chinese nation is an ancient yet ever-renewing form. In the contemporary era of globalization, the philosophy of the Chinese nation can provide the best spiritual remedy for ethnic and religious conflicts. The philosophical spirit of the Chinese nation, such as "harmony in diversity" and "seeking common ground while reserving differences," clearly points out a path for humanity to move beyond the confusion of ethnic and religious conflicts.
