Literature
and Philosophy
China's rich literary
tradition spans 3,000
years. The Five Classics,
which were the basis for
Confucian thought, and
The Classic of the Way
and the Virtue by Lao-tzu
are the most influential
works of Chinese
philosophy. Confucianism stresses personal
morality and social responsibility, while Taoism—
the philosophy of Lao-tzu—recommends that
people live simply and close to nature.
