儒家文化贯穿了中国2000多年的历史，自汉武帝罢黜百家，独尊儒术开始，以孔子、孟子、荀子为代表的儒家思想，逐渐成为中国传统文化的主流。
孔子是儒家学派的创始人，主张以礼乐治国，以德治国。他首创私学，开创了平民教育的先驱，史传说“门徒三千，贤者七十二”；而记录了孔子及其弟子言行的《论语》，则是中国思想文化最重要的经典之一。
儒家区域依托山势的孔子塑像，这尊雕像高17米，孔子双手作揖，身体微向前倾，为温厚长者的形象，体现了孔子“温、良、恭、俭、让”。山体上的石雕文字，讲述了孔子生平经历，孔子塑像下一左一右坐着的名别是儒家的另外两个代表人物孟子和荀子。
“Minor-Talk” originated from Zhuangzi. As said in “Records of Literature and Art”, The Book of Han Dynasty, “The school of minor talks is derived from minor officials who loved talking about anecdotes. It is about gossips, chats and suchlike.” Such minor officials mainly took charge of recording what the plebs talked about, namely legends. Yu Chu in Western Han Epoch was known as one of paragons of this school. Yu created An Anthology of Stories on Zhou Era, the first collection of stories ever in ancient China.
What followers of this school talk is the name and essence of things, rights and wrongs of cases. In fact, it was the school of logic in ancient times, which boasts typical figures like Gongsun Long, Deng Xi and Hui Shi. Such logicians were famous for being expert at analyzing the “name” and the “essence”. Up till now, their classic dogmas like “White Horse Is not a Horse at All” have been still alive.
“小说”之名，出于庄子。《汉书·艺文志》中关于小说家的论述：“小说家者流，盖出于稗官；街谈巷语，道听途说者之所造也。”稗官主要负责在民间记录百姓所谈论的内容，也就是野史。称为小说家的是西汉的虞初，他创作中国古代第一部小说——《周说》。
