Writing the history of ideas requires the most innovative ideas. The history of ideas is rooted in the history of literature, culture, and civilization. This book encompasses a comprehensive view of civilization, the genesis of the pre-Qin plutocrats, the landmark figures of thought and culture through the ages, the displacement of thought and culture in folklore, the marginal vitality of thought and culture and foreign challenges, and the methodology of thought and culture studies, exploring the profundity of Chinese culture, the originality of Chinese culture, the inclusiveness of Chinese national culture, the richness of the Chinese national cultural bloodline, and the richness and beauty of the Chinese national cultural landscape. This book expands the space of the history of ideas and cultures by proposing the marginal dynamics of ideas and cultures and the influence and challenges of foreign ideas and cultures. It unfolds a macroscopic vision that is both ontological and open, forming a kind of intellectual history that delves into the history of civilization.
