摘　　要：Since the era of Plato and Aristotle, Western philosophy has defined the pursuit of universal knowledge as its final goal, leading to the rise of the absolute concept of universality and the world of absolute principles composed of universal concepts. Tra- ditional philosophy in the West is a learning in search of universal knowledge while the highest aim for traditional Chinese philosophy is to acquire the realm of Tao. This is the demarcation line dividing the morphology of the traditional philosophies of China and the West. The so-called non-universality in China＇s traditional philosophy, first of all, refers primarily to the lack of awareness of universality in the minds of ancient Chinese scholars.
