Introduction: In the history of Chinese thought, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were undoubtedly an era of great fervor. In the following two thousand years, no matter in terms of culture or thought, it has never surpassed the glory of that time. It was at that time that the various schools of thought appeared. The following are the famous quotes of each school of thought that I have collected and compiled. Everyone is welcome to read and refer to them!
