CHINESE PHILOSOPHY has a history of several thousand years;it's origin is often track back to the YI JING (the book of changes), an ancient compendium of divination, which uses a system of 64 hexagrams to guide action. The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu and the Analects of Confucius both appeared around the 6th century BCE, slightly ahead of early Buddhist Philosophy in Northern India and slightly after pre-Socratic philosophy in Ancient Greece. Confucianism represents the collected teachings of the Chinese sage Confucius who lived from 551 to 479 BCE. Legalism is responsible for creating the world's first meritocracy, which holds that one's status should be determined by tha ability instead of ancestry , wealth, or friendship. The Qin Dynasty can be both critical and yet relatively tolerant of one another. In the Han Dynasty, there are maybe no move to ban or censor other schools of thought. Despite and because of the debates and competition, they generally have cooperated and shared ideas, which they would usually incorporate with their own. Chinese Philosophy has spread around the world in forms such as the "NEW CONFUCIANISM" and "NEW AGE IDEAS". Many in the academic community of the west remain skeptical, and only a few assimilate Chinese philosophy into their own research, whether scientific or philosophical.
