Features: This book consistently focuses on the connection between social history and intellectual history. It is a companion work to On the Social History of Ancient China, which discusses the development of ancient Chinese social history, specifically the history of the slave society. This book, in turn, explores the intellectual history of ancient China, i.e., the intellectual history of the slave society, and the two works are interwoven, complementing each other. The latter serves as the foundation for the former. This book places particular emphasis on resolving historical puzzles, with a special focus on addressing the challenges of intellectual history.
