Abstract

Basically, the phenomenon of archaeological achievements of ancient history for clarification, has an important role. Ancient thought is also in the development of human history, a phenomenon based on the use of the results of archaeological excavations, it is bound to a considerable extent. This is for today, "unearthed documents" research for the study of ancient ideas inspired from the current use of the scholars has several directions, "the positioning of the development of Confucianism," "body concept", "saying the school" to discuss its impact and significance. Of course, I must say, this paper is to discuss several issues, not to complicated to be dialectical. This paper put forward three but the direction of macro-style, hoping to documents unearthed in the ancient Chinese thought of the question, provide some personal thoughts. Archaeological excavations allow us to study ancient history in depth, and develop insights about the thought and culture of the societies of the ancient world. Archaeological studies and especially the excavation and analysis of ancient texts provide us with knowledge about life and thought in ancient China, and may be extremely helpful when considering the meaning and influence of various aspects of thought in ancient China. Archeological documents provide us with a more complex understanding of thought in ancient China. These documents may be analyzed from three perspectives: 1) the problem of orientation in the history and development of Confucian Thought 2) the concept of the body and 3) the study of ancient Chinese dictums. An attempt here is made to analyze archeological documents on the thought of ancient China using these three perspectives from a macroscopic level, with the hope of yielding fruitful insights on thought and society in ancient China
