Classification of Chinese philosophy:

Ancient philosophy:

Ancient China had Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and Mohism as the main philosophical schools, of which especially Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism had far-reaching influence. The introduction and development of Western philosophy in modern times has also had a great impact, with Marxist philosophy being designated as the official ideology by China*** on the mainland; and scholars represented by Neo-Confucianism seeking to allow traditional Chinese philosophy to innovate and develop.

Modern Philosophy:

Confucian believers in modern times also revere the Song and Ming philosophies, which are divided into the Cheng-Zhu school of philosophy and the Lu-Wang school of psychology.

Modern Chinese Philosophy:

This fusion is not an external comparison, but an internal one. Its essence is the unity of "rational understanding" and "emotional fulfillment", the unity of logic and intuition, and the unity of meaning and implication. Its manifestation is the rise of Western formal logic and the promotion of traditional Chinese philosophical intuition.
