Chinese philosophy has developed over several thousand of years. Its origin can be traced back to the Xiao, Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

The most influential schools were Confucianism, Taoism, monism and legalism. Chinese philosophy Confucianism is a school of thought represented by Confucius and Mencius. The school takes the teaching of Confucius as its core of thought and regards the words and deeds of Confucius as its highest code of behavior. It emphasizes the importance of family and societal order. Children must respect and be dutiful to their parents. The younger must obey the elder. The junior must follow the senior. The servants must serve their rulers. The influence of Confucius is so predominant that the word “Confucian” can directly represent traditional Chinese life and culture.中庸之道，主张接人待物不偏不倚，调和折中的态度。 Chin
