Chinese philosophy has developed in the period VIII-III of art.. to n. e. In historical and philosophical science there is no generally accepted criterion for the periodization of Chinese philosophy. Therefore, its history can be divided on various grounds. For example, in order for the change of ruling dynasties, according to the European principle of arrangement is chronological milestones (ancient, medieval, new, the latest periods), in Proslav branching of the main directions. But, using any criteria, you can still safely assume, its inception, the Chinese philosophy from “the first philosopher of Taoism, Confucianism and the teachings of the authors of the "Book of changes". The commentary to the "Book of changes" marked the beginning of the philosophy of China.

• school of law ( “FA-Jia”), European - of legalism;

• Taoism;

• school “Yin-Yang” (naturfilosofi);

• school names ( “min-Jia”).

This almost entirely refers to Confucianism, mosmo, of legalism, ideological Foundation of political and ethical doctrines which have been, or weak, or borrowed from other schools, for example from Taoism - the most philosophically of the six schools of ancient Chinese philosophy. Ancient Chinese philosophy was malosse. This is due to the, that it was scarcely stand’connected with science, which existed in China, as well as weak development of ancient Chinese logic.
