Features: Most of the articles collected in this book have already been published by the author. They are now compiled together to form a cohesive whole, each independent yet complementary. Originally, the book was completed before 1996, but it was kept "in the freezer" and never published because I felt some of the ideas were not yet mature, even somewhat rough. After several years of life and practice, I have gained new insights and reflections, which is why I dare to present them humbly to fellow scholars for discussion and refinement. Overall, the book does not focus on epistemology and ontology but emphasizes axiology and methodology. Methodology runs through every chapter. In terms of content, it is mostly based on traditional categories, such as "Dao," "Enlightenment," "Trend," "Force," "Human," "Change," and "Harmony." I hope this book can, on one hand, summarize my intellectual journey, and on the other hand, reveal the contradictions in my thoughts, continuously opening up paths for resolving these contradictions in practice, allowing me to become a person who consciously acts under the guidance of thought. Only in this way can the power of thought become material power, and can life and work be made as scientific and conscious as possible. The content of the book is divided into: Chapter on Enlightenment, Chapter 2: Using the Ideas and Methods of "Change" and "Harmony" to Understand and Transform the World, Chapter 3: On Trend, Chapter 4: On Force, Chapter 5: On Integration, Chapter 6: On Competitive Advantage, Chapter 7: On Dao.
