We have "a hundred schools of thought contend", and a large number of thinkers such as Laozi, Confucius and Mencius have emerged, and Plato and Aristotle have also appeared in the West. Look at western medicine in the same period, and it is almost exactly the same as Chinese medicine.
Those who say that China is highly civilized and the West is still "drinking wool blood" are not arrogant, but ignorant and lovely.
However, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "ousted a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", China's thought was basically stereotyped, while the western thought was constantly developing.
Even in ancient times, we compare the Tao Te Ching, Zhouyi and Aristotle's theories of the same period, but Aristotle can't beat China's other theories of the same period.
If you can read it patiently, you will understand the truth.

Now there are many "training institutions" and "business schools" specially set up for small and medium-sized business owners. Generally, a semester lasts for three days and two nights, and the tuition fees are thirty-eight thousand, forty-eight thousand and fifty-eight thousand.
These masters are basically talking about China classics, such as Tao Te Ching, Zhouyi and Xue Xin. Some people say that this is a group of swindlers, while others say that these bosses spend money to buy interpersonal relationships and then improve their status.
For three days and two nights, if you can really learn something, it will be God!
After research, I found that the ancients in China were amazing! Both Tao Te Ching and Zhouyi contain profound truths about military affairs, politics, being a man, doing things, governing the country and settling down, and can even be used for divination.
In just 5,000 words, The Tao Te Ching is boasted as a panacea for all diseases. No matter Zhouyi or Tao Te Ching, the author writes books in a muddle, half in his mouth and half in his stomach.
The advantage of this is that you can't find any loopholes and shortcomings of the author.
As for whether you can understand it or not, that's your business.
Look at that man, can't he rule the world in half?
And whoever learns Zhouyi becomes a master. Do western philosophers dare to say that you can become prime minister by reading one of his books? But we always say that.
I don't understand, the masters will say, others can, why can't you?
What, you asked the ancients why they didn't write it in geometry, mathematics and physics for everyone to study and read. Aren't you funny? Can I still be called metaphysics? And these may not really be the original intention of these sages of Laozi.
Because there are thousands of versions of Tao Te Ching and Zhouyi, who has the final interpretation right? In the hands of the latter.
Why do so many people cheat money and color with these ancient philosophical classics of China?
It is because they confused the original intention of the ancients, thus achieving the purpose of fishing in troubled waters. Compared with Aristotle's theory, western philosophers are stupid.
5000 words versus 450000 lines of words
Aristotle is called 13, which affects 100 people in the world, and his teacher Plato is only ranked 40th, which is not groundless.
Aristotle's life works 156, 550 volumes, about 450,000 lines. Optimism is estimated at 450,000 lines, not 450,000 words!
These include logic, metaphysics, ethics, politics, physics, astronomy, psychology, biology, rhetoric and literature.
The "metaphysics" we have learned so far in political textbooks was translated from Japanese scholar Tetsujiro Inoue.
Taking the meaning of "the metaphysical refers to the Tao and the metaphysical refers to the device" in the Book of Changes, translating this word into "metaphysics" is to study knowledge other than tangible things.
Interestingly, the biggest difference between Aristotle, the teacher of Alexander the Great, and China's philosopher is that he doesn't care about politics.
Look at Confucius. He dreams of becoming an official.
Aristotle regards the study of knowledge as his lifelong pursuit and hobby.
As the emperor's teacher, he could have stayed in the palace to enjoy the splendor, but he had to go out to pursue his ideal. This is the biggest difference between East and West.
Those who study philosophy, both east and west belong to the aristocratic class, and they are a group of gods who do nothing but eat and pursue spiritual creation. Aristotle's theory was once regarded as second only to religious classics by Judaism, Islam and Christianity.
But Aristotle is not as clever as the ancients in our country, because his works use the vernacular that almost everyone can understand.
There are many mistakes in Aristotle's works, so a large number of scientists and philosophers such as Copernicus, Galileo, Bruno, Hobbes and Descartes criticized Aristotle's works a lot.
Tao Te Ching is 5000 words. How many mistakes can you find? Zhouyi is bitter, let alone finding fault with him.
Even because Aristotle wrote too many books and pursued science too much, he offended the Pope.
At the age of 6 1, he was almost burned to death for "offending the gods". When the clever Aristotle fled, he found face for himself and said, "I fled to avoid Athens' second crime against philosophy." "
The philosophy of our country completely defeated Aristotle.
Many people say that you just want to belittle Chinese studies, praise the smelly feet of westerners and destroy the prestige of your ancestors.
But the author wants to say that Aristotle's philosophy is more advanced than China's philosophy 1800 years.
In addition to advocating "universal love" and "non-aggression", Mohism has made great progress in military, science and technology, natural science and other fields.
If Mohist's mechanized design can continue to develop, China's science and technology can lead the world 1000.
How many years is Mohist's "selection thought" more advanced than that of the west, such as "the capable are superior, the mediocre are inferior, fair competition, and selecting talents and appointing talents"?
Why not make good use of Mohism and finally use Confucianism?
