Features: In the history of Chinese thought, ethical thought is extremely rich and holds a very important position. However, for a long time, the study of Chinese ethical thought has always been subordinate to the history of Chinese philosophy, failing to become an independent branch of discipline. Clinging to this framework has constrained the study of the history of Chinese ethical thought and has also been of no benefit to the development of the history of Chinese philosophy. In recent years, with the deepening study of traditional Chinese culture, as well as the need to learn and research Marxist ethics, and the significance of summarizing historical moral heritage for building socialist spiritual civilization, people have increasingly felt the necessity and urgency of establishing the discipline of the history of Chinese ethical thought. It is under this motivation that this book, "The History of Traditional Chinese Ethical Thought," has been compiled. Below, we will discuss some preliminary views on the research methods of the history of Chinese ethical thought, the historical development and basic characteristics of traditional Chinese ethical thought.
