What are the important topics discussed in traditional Chinese philosophy

The important topic discussed in traditional Chinese philosophy is the relationship between heaven and man.

The relationship between heaven and man is one of the most fundamental issues in Chinese philosophy. The relationship between heaven and man is the fundamental question of the universe and life. Confucius is one of the pioneers of the science of heaven and man. All the discussions in the classics such as Laozi and Zhouyi are centered on the question of heaven and man.

Confucius regarded the heavens as the natural world that constantly creates life, and the heavens have a certain sacredness, for which people should be in awe and grateful. In Chinese culture, this reverence and gratitude for the heavens has been perpetuated, and the architecture of the Temple of Heaven is a manifestation of this idea.

The core of Confucius' thought is "benevolence", and the essence of "benevolence" is love and respect for life. Under the influence of Confucius, the Chinese have a strong ecological consciousness, that people and all things in heaven and earth are one, belonging to a large world of life, and therefore people should be promoted from kissing and loving people to loving all things in heaven and earth.

Confucius emphasized that an educated person should focus on upgrading his or her spiritual world, and pursue a more meaningful and valuable life, thus creating the doctrine of the realm of life, which is unique to traditional Chinese philosophy.

The doctrine of heaven and man, pioneered by Confucius, Laozi, and the Zhouyi, is the crystallization of the highest wisdom of ancient Chinese philosophers.
