Abstract
Chinese traditional philosophy devotes great attentions to investigate and compare “public” (gong) and “private” (si). Although Chinese “gong” and “si” are translated as “public” and “private” in English, those two words have broader annotations and implications in Chinese. How “public” and “private” are treated in philosophy has a far-reaching impact on Chinese social and political structure. It will also exert a subtle influence on Chinese national character and value beliefs.
