What is the essence of Chinese philosophy? What are the philosophical ideas in China?

What are both philosophy and science? Why? What to do? The principle of the problem is to seek truth from facts, which is rightly called philosophy or science, and erroneously called pseudo-philosophy or pseudoscience.

Philosophy is the doctrine of general questions. General questions include: matter, consciousness, logic, cognition, method, etc.

Science is the doctrine of concreteness. Specific issues include: physics, chemistry, biology, politics, economics, etc.

In ancient times, philosophy was the doctrine of all issues. Such as "Zhou Yi" (King Wen of Zhou), "Tao Te Ching" (Lao Tzu), "Analects" (Confucius) and so on. The Zhou Yi was an important beginning of philosophical research, and then the hundred schools of thought put forward a wealth of philosophical ideas.

In modern times, mathematics, astronomy, and medicine have diverged from philosophy and become independent disciplines. Such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Compendium of Materia Medica" (Li Shizhen 1578) and so on.

In contemporary times, there is a clear division of labor between philosophy and science, and the general problems of philosophy and the specific problems of science.

In fact, philosophy has long been integrated into people's production and life, and has become popular knowledge. It can be said that ordinary people in modern times are philosophers, and those who claim to be philosophical experts and scholars are **, they make up some false concepts and truths that are divorced from reality, tout each other, and cooperate in fraud.

There is no such thing as a profound truth in philosophy. For example, "Wang's Philosophy" is concise and easy to understand, and ordinary people can understand and grasp it.

Chinese philosophical thought includes Confucianism, Taoism, Moism, Legalism, and Zen.

1. The task of philosophy is to improve the spiritual realm of man. As an important part of culture, philosophy has had a significant impact on the ideals, realms, world views, outlook on life, and values of life. The ideas of China's pre-Qin philosophers have always influenced the development of Chinese philosophy, among which the ideas of Confucius, Laozi and Zhuangzi can be said to have the greatest influence.

2. Confucianism pays attention to the unity of nature and man, and the gentleman strives for self-improvement, which should be said to be of great practical significance to the peaceful development of the world today and the construction of a harmonious society. We will continue to strive for self-improvement and realize a Datong society in which the world is for the public, the belief is trustworthy and harmonious, the rebellion is not prosperous, and the thieves do not do it. Pay attention to the relationship between man and nature, pay attention to ecological balance, and follow the laws of nature.
