Features: This textbook is designed to accompany the "Reform of the Philosophy Curriculum and Teaching Content for the 21st Century," and is written for undergraduate philosophy majors studying the history of Chinese philosophy. It can also serve as a reference book for students from other disciplines who wish to take elective courses or self-study the history of Chinese philosophy, as well as an introductory guide for foreign students learning the history of Chinese philosophy. We strive to reflect the new achievements and developments in the discipline of the history of Chinese philosophy since the reform and opening-up, systematically organize the historical context of Chinese philosophy, comprehensively present the rich content of philosophy across different dynasties, and break through outdated ideological patterns to objectively reveal the universal values and national characteristics of the history of Chinese philosophy. Chinese philosophy is a product of Chinese culture and a spiritual creation of the Chinese nation. Conversely, Chinese philosophy is the soul of Chinese culture and a concentrated embodiment of the spirit of the Chinese nation. The rich and diverse content of Chinese culture not only provides fertile ground for the intellectual development of Chinese philosophy and a beautiful humanistic environment but also directly gave birth to and nurtured Chinese philosophy, continuously supplying it with intellectual nourishment and spiritual resources.
