Features: This is an academic monograph exploring issues in traditional Chinese cultural psychology, the product of the author's face-to-face exchanges and communications with international academia since 1993, when he visited the United States, Europe, and other places. Here, the author proposes that the integrative development of Eastern and Western psychology is the direction of the development of world psychology and conducts in-depth research and exploration. The author takes the "heart" in traditional Chinese culture as the theme, on one hand using the theories and methods of Western analytical psychology to explain and interpret aspects of traditional Chinese culture such as Chinese characters, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, the I Ching, Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Yin-Yang Five Elements, divination, numerology, proverbs, poetry, music, myths, and legends. On the other hand, he also validates the theories and practices of Western analytical psychology by interpreting the original meanings of these traditional Chinese cultural elements.
