Features: This adaptation has undergone significant changes in both the selected texts and the annotation style. The main points are as follows:
1. The selected texts primarily focus on the works of influential philosophers or schools with historical significance, emphasizing philosophical thought materials while omitting other aspects.
2. The selected texts not only highlight the main views of each philosopher or school but also aim to reflect the full scope of their systems.
3. The texts are selected as much as possible to maintain their completeness. Works that are not long but important are included in full, while longer works are appropriately excerpted.
4. All selected texts have been annotated concisely. The annotations primarily explain terms and meanings, with occasional explanations for particularly difficult sentences. The original translations of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasty sections have been entirely removed. For annotations that draw on previous scholarship, references are omitted to save space.
5. Before each selected text, a "Brief Introduction to Historical Materials" is provided, explaining the source of the text, relevant editions, and important annotations, to assist students in further reading of the original works of the philosophers.
