It is divided into five parts: General Introduction, Pre-Qin Period, Han and Tang Periods, Song and Ming Periods, Late Qing and Republican Periods. It covers topics such as the category system of ancient philosophy, the meaning and function of ideas, the development of the concepts of public and private, and the "Heavenly Way" concept of the Spring and Autumn Period.
