Chinese philosophy. Features, origin and development of Chinese philosophy
The time of the formation and development of the Chinese philosophical tradition falls approximately on the same time as Indian philosophy, i.e. on the middle of the 1st millennium BC. Since familiarization with written culture in traditional China had a high social status, then from its very inception philosophy played a very significant role in society. Educated intellectual philosophers (zhu) were oriented towards understanding social life and the personal destiny of a person.
