It then explores Mao Zedong's temporal and spatial context in integrating Chinese and Western philosophies, his practical journey, spiritual aspirations, intrinsic spirit, deep structure, as well as the future direction of Chinese philosophy and culture. This fully demonstrates the historical and practical significance of Mao Zedong's philosophy as a model of successfully integrating Chinese and Western philosophies.
