The contention of a hundred schools of thought is a situation of cultural prosperity and revival that emerged during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it has profound social and historical reasons, which is a complex and profound formation process. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and the controversy of a hundred schools of thought is also a general term for various schools of thought and academic propositions in the pre-Qin period, each of which has its own representatives, who are all well-known thinkers, educators, philosophers, and sages who have made great contributions to Chinese culture.

Let me start by talking about Confucianism, which has had the greatest influence on later generations, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism from a hundred schools of thought, Confucianism has become the ruling ideology of ancient Chinese feudal society. However, many Confucianism ideas have been changed by the rulers, so that the ruling class in later generations will misunderstand Confucianism for thousands of years. Its representative figures include the great educator, thinker, and writer Confucius, as well as his disciple Yasheng Mencius, who was collectively called Confucius and Mencius by later generations. Taoism is the most philosophical school in China, its founder Li Er is commonly known as Lao Tzu, riding a green ox through the Hangu Pass to leave a 5,000-word Tao Te Ching is very mysterious, it is said that Lao Tzu is also the teacher of Confucius. Zhuangzi was also a scholar who advocated the rule of inaction and conformed to nature, but Zhuangzi was more romantic, and they were collectively called Lao Zhuang by later generations. The founding representative of the Mo family is Mozi, hehe is good at building a cloud ladder, and the representative of the famous family has Gongsun Long, Hui Shi, etc., they are very good at debating, Zi Fei Yu An knows the joy of fish, this is the famous thesis of the famous family, many people in later generations think that it is a bit of sophistry, the main Legalist Han Feizi and Qin Prime Minister Li Si, although the last set of Legalist doctrine is a great success, but advocate strict punishment and strict law, very harsh. The representative of the Yin and Yang family is Zou Yan, who can be said to be the ancestor of Chinese feng shui culture, and now there are Chinese people in the world who believe in feng shui very much. The main members of the vertical and horizontal family are Su Qin and Zhang Yi, with a mouth that says the dead are alive, vertical and horizontal, clever tongue like a spring, and disturbs the general trend of the world. The representative of the miscellaneous family is Lü Buwei, who organized his disciples to write the word "Lü's Spring and Autumn" to advance, covering all kinds of popular remarks in the society at that time, so it is called the miscellaneous family. The representative figure of the peasant family is Xu Xing, who laid the foundation for the later generations to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and there are novelists, the representative is Lou Jingge, who is known for his writing style. Finally, Fang Technicians, they take medicine as the theoretical basis, but the scope of research is much wider than medicine, including later generations of doctors and Fang Shi, Fang Technician representatives, ancient Qi Bo, Yu Xuan, Warring States Bian Que, Qin He, early Han Dynasty has Cang Gong, among which Bian Que is the most famous, Bian Que saw Cai Huan Gong appeared in primary school textbooks.

I think the most fundamental reason for the emergence of a hundred schools of thought is that at that time, the princes competed for hegemony, and the monarchs of various countries were eager to be assisted by talents, which objectively formed a relaxed academic environment, and people of various schools of thought could freely express their opinions, and in order to recruit talents, the vassal states often created good economic and material conditions for talents, which also prompted all kinds of talents to travel all year round and travel around the world in order to find a monarch who realized his ideals and ambitions. Among them, people of different schools of thought have different ideological views and political propositions, so a situation of coexistence of three religions and nine streams has been formed, and various schools of thought have learned from each other and integrated with each other, some have learned and some have excluded, they do not give in to each other, a hundred flowers bloom, and a hundred schools of thought contend, and finally Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and other academic schools that have influenced China's feudal society for more than 2,000 years will be born. We have learned from Confucianism how to behave in the world, from Taoism how to distinguish between right and wrong, from Legalism how to use the law to protect our legitimate rights and interests, from Mohists we have learned engineering structure, from soldiers we have learned what is the 36 Strategies of Soldiers Who Do Not Get Tired of Deceit, from Yin-Yang Scholars we have learned Chinese Feng Shui culture, from famous scholars we have learned how to debate, from Zonghengjia we have learned how to lobby others, from farmers we have learned that agriculture is the foundation of the country, from novelists we have learned how to have a spring of ideas, and even we have learned from Miscellaneous Scholars how a person's strength is limited and how to gather everyone's strengthsIn short, we can always learn the wisdom and survival skills we need from the hundreds of schools of thought, which are the precious treasures left to us by the sages. In today's society, the culture is diverse, the situation is complex, we need to have greater wisdom to face all kinds of challenges, a hundred schools of thought to leave us a variety of ideological essence, such as harmony is precious, such as respect for history and conform to nature, have become our reference to deal with the complex situation, and these ideas in the long history of China, infected and educated countless people with lofty ideals, I think it is the cultural treasure that future generations should cherish the most.
