This era witnessed the rise of "the Hundred Schools," including Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism, as well as the Yin-Yang School, the School of Names, the School of Diplomacy, and the School of Military Strategy, among others known as the "Nine Schools and Ten Schools." The clash and integration of these philosophical ideas, coupled with political needs, led to Confucianism emerging as the dominant ideology in the Hundred Schools, becoming the ideological foundation of feudal China. This book systematically explores the essence of the pre-Qin Hundred Schools of Thought, the struggles and integration of various philosophical ideas, and the evolution of Confucian thought. It is both engaging and refreshing for readers.
