After delving into Chinese Ideological and Cultural Terms (Volume 3), I am deeply impressed by the profound insights and rich connotations it presents, which serve as a bridge connecting the ancient wisdom of China with the modern world. This volume offers an in - depth exploration of a wide range of Chinese cultural and philosophical concepts, revealing the essence of traditional Chinese thought. One of the most striking aspects of this book is its meticulous presentation of fundamental Chinese philosophical ideas. Concepts such as “崇本息末” (revering the fundamental and dismissing the specific) are not only explained in their historical and philosophical contexts but also analyzed for their implications. These ideas showcase the Chinese sages' deep understanding of the world, emphasizing the importance of seeking the essence while discarding superficial distractions. For example, the concept of “道” (Dao), which is often at the core of these terms, represents a profound way of understanding the universe, nature, and human existence. It makes me realize that traditional Chinese philosophy is not just abstract theory but a practical guide for life and governance.
