What are the characteristics of China's ancient philosophy?

1, Concerned about Life Ancient philosophers in China often studied various philosophical problems from the perspective of life practice, so they paid special attention to the study of life. The heart, nature, emotion, qi, ambition and conscience mentioned in Confucian philosophy all express an understanding of life, humanity and human life. Taoism pays attention to life from another angle, paying attention to the ideal realm of life and the free liberation of spirit.

2. The relationship between knowledge and practice is one of the special concerns of ancient philosophers in China, which covers the unity of theoretical rationality and practical rationality, while ancient philosophers in China emphasized the perfection and realization of practice.

3. Emphasize morality. China's ancient philosophy can be said to be a moral philosophy in essence. Whether it is the three programs and eight items of Confucianism or the self-cultivation of Taoism, moral practice is the first.

4. Emphasizing harmony is the consistent tradition of China's ancient philosophy.

5. Emphasize intuition. China's ancient philosophy didn't attach importance to precise argumentation in form, and there was no coherent system in form. Instead, it focuses on empirical evidence of life or intuitive experience of the subject. After a long time, the records obtained are the philosophical works that can still be seen now.
