Features: Ontology is one of the core categories that cannot be avoided in the study of the history of Chinese thought and philosophy. How to deepen the study of the history of Chinese thought and philosophy is currently a hot topic of academic attention. From the perspectives of social history, cultural history, or academic history, certain shortcomings in previous studies of the history of thought and philosophy can be corrected. However, breakthroughs in the study of the history of thought and philosophy must ultimately rely on in-depth research on a series of core concepts and their evolutionary processes in the history of Chinese thought and philosophy, otherwise it will be impossible to escape the descriptive. This book attempts to study the main content and developmental process of Chinese ontology from a historical perspective based on existing research achievements. The completion of this book will help promote the study of the history of Chinese thought and philosophy.
