The Development Course of the Main Schools of China's Traditional Philosophy

1. The pre-Qin philosophers are the first part, mainly about understanding the world and personal cultivation, as well as some thoughts on governing the country.

2. The Han Dynasty is another part, which mainly constructs political ideas at the national level, and it is also something other than philosophy.

3. Wei-Jin period is another part, because Buddhism was introduced into China during this period, so philosophy began to have a strong Buddhist color, which is more prominent in pure metaphysics.

4. The Tang Dynasty was a bit special, because Li Shimin was a usurper, so in order to explain the rationality of the Xuanwu Gate, many anti-traditional things appeared, the most obvious of which was Shi Shuo.

5. The philosophy of Song and Ming Dynasties is somewhat divorced from tradition. Both political philosophy and personal cultivation have the meaning of "seeking roots" in western philosophy.
