During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a multitude of thinkers emerged in China due to the significant change in political systems and concepts. The four influential schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and Legalism grappled with social turmoil, people's suffering, and governance challenges, prompting them to seek frank, sincere, and open discussions to shape the world's thinking and action. The author presents the narratives of these schools of thought in story form, dispelling misunderstandings of pre-Qin philosophical thought and revealing the innocence and frankness of the philosophers' ideas, encouraging introspection and drawing insightful parallels to the present day.
