I think people who can write philosophy in a simple way and spread it to the public are awesome. Therefore, there are two entry-level books that must be read. One is A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy by Mr. Feng Youlan, and the other is Sophie's World by Norwegian writer Jostan Judd.

If we simply compare eastern and western philosophies, Confucius, born in 55 1 year BC, was discovered 8 1 year later than Socrates, born in 470 BC, while Mencius was 56 years later than Plato, so Aristotle and Zhuangzi should be in the same period. The origin of eastern philosophy is earlier than that of the west, and there is a great difference between them. Oriental philosophy appears in the form of an educator, paying attention to implication, and only people with certain experience can better understand it. Western philosophers appear in the form of speakers, pay attention to confrontation, have the courage to question and the spirit of explorers, and are often young and arrogant. So far, most successful people in the East have enough precipitation, while most successful people in the West are young and dare to break away from conventional thinking.

Farming philosophy emphasizes agriculture, while marine philosophy emphasizes commerce. The East emphasizes the harmony between man and nature, and emphasizes the realm of harmony between man and nature. Western philosophy discusses the body and soul, the senses are the body, and nature is the soul, emphasizing the communication of the heart. But both Confucianism and Platonism emphasize the doctrine of the mean and balance, which finally leads to the concept of the doctrine of the mean. Even Aristotle put forward the concept of the golden mean. The significance of philosophy is to discuss more about human nature, who am I and where do I come from? Where are you going? I think people with philosophy are more looking for ways to get happiness. No matter what form of philosophy, it can guide people to get happiness and pursue the truth of life.

The discussion of western philosophy is more metaphysical and belongs to super moral value. What is discussed with oriental philosophy is more about the code of conduct of China's entry into WTO, which belongs to moral values, but it should not be underestimated. The moral value of oriental philosophy is often integrated with the super-moral value, and the metaphysical content is included in the daily code of conduct. Therefore, when foreign philosophers study China, they admire Laozi most, because they think that Laozi's Tao Te Ching is a real exploration of the East, while philosophers such as Confucianism discuss metaphysical things relatively little, and so do masters such as Liang Shuming. Personally, I think that the discussion of metaphysics, including Laozi's Tao Te Ching, does not deviate from the code of conduct of entering WTO, but only adds more metaphysical thinking, which is actually reflected in other schools besides Taoism. The idea of harmonious coexistence between man and nature has always been the soul of oriental philosophy. However, western philosophy contains more transactions and aggression, but it has more religious value, so more western philosophers are willing to discuss metaphysical things and think for the sake of thinking. Western classified science and eastern comprehensive science can also witness the differences between them.

In On China, Kissinger believes that the splendid culture of China for thousands of years has influenced China, a big country in the East, and the vitality of the nation is the philosophical view of the cultural East. Some people say that China is too impetuous now and has lost too much traditional culture, but what I see is that our culture has never wavered from the pre-Qin to the present, regardless of the destruction of culture, the washing of culture or the singleness of people's preferences. Now more and more people are beginning to combine, and now,

One must talk a lot first, and then keep silent. This is the end of Mr. Feng Youlan's A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy, and I also take it as my end.
