The new development of contemporary Chinese philosophy research falls into six categories. The first is the restoration of Chinese philosophical research in an academic sense. The second is that identification with Chinese culture promotes a sympathetic understanding of Chinese philosophy. The third is the wealth of knowledge that has been gained on early Chinese philosophy from the abundance of excavated literature. The fourth is the reflection on the pursuit of methodology intrinsic to Chinese philosophy. The fifth concerns the convergence of the studies of classics and masters and the “turn to classics studies.” The sixth involves probing into historical research to explore and develop new principles and reasons for Chinese philosophy. Chinese philosophy is forming a more virtuous cycle of interpretation through the interaction between academic and political, tradition and modernity, commensurability and difference, studies of classics passed down through the ages and excavated literature, studies of classics and masters, as well as philosophy and its history.
