Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient Chinese thought, tracing the origins and evolution of ideas from the earliest times to the first century A.D. It explores the unique worldview of the Chinese people, shaped by their geographic isolation and agricultural way of life. The author argues against the common misconception that Chinese thought is merely a collection of disparate ideas, instead proposing the existence of a distinct and cohesive philosophical system known as Sinism. This system emphasizes harmony and order in both the natural world and human society, with a focus on practical solutions for improving daily life. The book delves into the core concepts of Sinism, including the yin-yang duality, the Five Elements (wood, fire, metal, water, and earth), and the significance of rituals and social customs. It examines the influence of key figures such as Confucius, Lao Tzu, and Mo Tzu on the development of Chinese thought, and explores the role of popular religion in shaping the worldview of the common people. By understanding the historical and cultural context of Sinism, readers gain a deeper appreciation for the richness and complexity of Chinese thought, recognizing its enduring influence on Chinese society and its relevance to understanding human thought in general. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
