During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the decline of the Zhou royal family and the conquest and merger of various vassal States, the collective thoughts of the gentry class exploded, and a hundred flowers blossomed and a hundred schools of thought contended. First, thinking about the political system and the idea of governing the country during the transition from slave society to feudal society (such as legalists, strategists, Confucianists and strategists); The second is about the thought of governing the people in the transitional period (such as Taoism and Mohism); Third, the speculation of unknown science follows the old theory and extends to the witch doctor theory of the rise and fall of the country (such as the witch family and the Yin and Yang family); Fourth, under the influence of other schools (such as agricultural medicine-Fang technician), summarize the experience of natural science at a certain stage. The fifth category is the contribution to biography, literary creation and literature and history (famous writers, miscellaneous writers, novelists, etc.). ).

The European Renaissance refers to an ideological and cultural movement that rose in Italian cities in the middle of14th century and then spread to western European countries, and prevailed in Europe in16th century. It brought a period of scientific and artistic revolution, opened the prelude of modern European history, and was regarded as the dividing line between the Middle Ages and the modern times. Marxist historians believe that it is the dividing line between the feudal era and the capitalist era. At the end of the Middle Ages, with the continuous invasion of the Ottoman Empire into the Eastern Roman Empire, people in the Eastern Rome fled one after another, bringing a large number of ancient Greek and Roman cultural classics and artistic treasures to the commercially developed cities in Italy. Some advanced intellectuals in the emerging bourgeoisie carry forward the humanistic spirit through studying the art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome and through literary and artistic creation. Renaissance is one of the three major ideological liberation movements in modern western Europe (Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment).

Similarities: Intellectuals came into being when social productive forces developed to a certain stage and social contradictions broke out intensively. They thought, explored and demonstrated their achievements in politics, art, science and culture under the background of great political changes.

Different starting points: I think the main purpose is different. China's thought of a hundred schools of thought served the Lord and the king, and provided a theoretical basis for political unity and strengthening centralization with the Lord as the core. It was the political product of the transition from slavery to feudalism, which promoted the great imperial politics of Qin unification. On the basis of studying a large number of ancient Greek and Roman cultures and arts, the European Renaissance reconsidered human nature, art and science, and laid the foundation for the development of capitalism with the subsequent religious reform and enlightenment.

The cultural contribution of a hundred schools of thought has played a very important role in the integration of the Chinese nation and the formation of a unified country.

The popularity of brush is a very important foundation.

During the Renaissance, the introduction of oriental printing was an important propellant. With printing, the publication of a large number of books has played a key role in the popularization of knowledge. The Renaissance also laid the foundation of modern culture.

The period of contention of a hundred schools of thought is a transitional period from bronze to iron.

Renaissance is a transition from cold weapons to firearms.

The period of contention of a hundred schools of thought is a period of transition from local feudalism to centralization.

Revival is a transition from ideological imprisonment to independent innovation.

The unified culture of the Chinese nation is a great nation.

The west is an independent individual culture.

I'm afraid it's not hundreds of years of comparison that can decide which is better or worse.

At present, it is also a period of great change. Natural science has reached a new height, and the eastern and western camps have once again had a big confrontation. This time, it is not a simple confrontation between capitalism and capitalism, but a transitional stage between state capitalism and state socialism. Who wins and who loses will be known in the next 65,438+000 years.

The transition from primitive society to slave society has gone through thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the transition from slave society to feudal society has also gone through nearly a thousand years. The transition from feudal society to capitalist society has gone through hundreds of years, and the transition from capitalism to state capitalism has only gone through nearly a hundred years.

Then the transition from state capitalism to state socialism will not exceed 100 years.

The United States is the representative of state capitalism, and Northern Europe is the transition from capitalism to national socialism, but the country is too small.

Our present era is also the era of new technological revolution. According to the historical development trend, state capitalism will be replaced by state socialism (state socialism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics are not necessarily the same concept, but also need the wisdom of leaders. )
