Features: I think most people are lazy in thinking, which perfectly suits the purpose of keeping them conservative in correct thinking. Since the Warring States period in China, after the debates among the philosophers, thinking has become so lazy that even errors have disappeared. Master Zong Baihua, known as the patriarch of Chinese aesthetics, achieved great success in aesthetic research precisely because of his comprehensive understanding and profound insight into the history of Chinese and foreign philosophy. This book is a work on the history of ancient Chinese philosophy written by Master Zong Baihua in the 1940s. The entire book follows a historical system, focusing on the lives and thought perspectives of famous thinkers and philosophers, introducing philosophical ideas from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The author extensively cites sources, using a wealth of ancient texts and historical records as the basis for his research. On the basis of objectively presenting historical facts, he elaborates on his personal academic ideas, making this a well-supported and reasoned work on the history of ancient Chinese philosophy.
