Each volume of this series is centered on one concept only or a couple of closely related concepts. The
authors examine in detail its historical context, semantic context, origin and evolution and academic
influence, based on the research findings in ancient Chinese literature. They unfold their elaboration around
important figures in the development of Chinese thought and culture, as well as their works, theories and
academic viewpoints. Integrating professional studies with popular interest, it emphasizes the integration of
corroboration and exposition on the Oriental and Occidental scholarship. It is believed that the publication

philosophy, humanistic values, academic perspectives and theoretical viewpoints underlying the key
concepts of Chinese thought and culture and a clearer understanding of the way of thinking, values and
cultural characteristics of the intellectual world of the Chinese nation and overseas Chinese.
