    When it comes to the ancient times of our country, it is really a few days and nights that can not be finished, two thousand years of ancient cultural history, so that we have a lot of splendid traditions, stories, or great people who have been passed down to future generations. Of course, these people always include this educator, that inventor, and there is also a kind of thinker called a thinker.

    When it comes to the ancient thinkers of our country, there is actually an era in which there are many and they are all famous, and that period is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was not only a period of historical turmoil, but also a period of free development and rapid rise of ideas. A hundred schools of thought were not enough to tell their stories, and there were more than a hundred families at that time, and Chinese academic thought began to lay a solid foundation from that time.

    But what makes people wonder is when did this kind of emancipation of the mind suddenly emerge, and who taught the ideas of these thinkers? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, several of the most famous thinkers we know are represented by Confucius, Lao Tzu of Taoism, Mozi of Moism, and Li Kui of Legalism, and of course many more. However, these few are more representative, and these people may have learned from official schools, or they may have learned from self-education.

    From the perspective of social background, because the power of the war at that time expanded, it relied not only on strong military strength, but also on theoretical ideas that could support the prosperity of the country. Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, because of the new theoretical ideas, the strength of the entire country has soared, far surpassing all countries, and finally dominating the world. Because of these practical examples, the monarchs of various countries also began to support the development of ideas, and with the support of the state, more people began to devote themselves to the study of science.

    Moreover, at that time, there were many academic masters who set up private schools to actively disseminate cultural knowledge, which also led to the flourishing of culture during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
