Features: This book is one of the "Philosophical History Collection," examining the entire process of the development, growth, and strengthening of the Chinese nation. Over the 5,000 years of recorded history, the nearly four centuries of division during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties should not be seen as a tragedy of the nation but rather celebrated and admired. The editor believes this was a period of renewal for the Chinese nation, laying the foundation for later cultural peaks. If the history of Chinese philosophy does not study this period well, the cultural heights of the following 1,000 years will have no basis to speak of.
