The periodization of Chinese intellectual and philosophical history is a crucial and complex issue.It is hard to grasp the internal rhythm of intellectual and philosophical history based on the traditional periodization set by the prolonged academ-ic history.Rather,we should resort to the history and thinking pattern on philosophy's own terms.Pre-Modern Chinese intellectual and philosophical history centers around core concepts like"Dao"(道),"De"(德)and"Li"(理),which exhibited a suc-cessive and fluctuating progression,sequentially from"The Age of De","The Age of Dao"to"The Age of Li".These three ep-ochal periods of Chinese intellectual and philosophical history evidently demonstrated the evolutionary pattern,rhythm and theoreti-cal characteristics of ancient Chinese philosophy.
