The Chinese sages of the ages developed philosophical foundations around three scholar as guiding interpretations for an ideal gentleman or superior person (in Chinese, junzi) in a society. These philosophers, namely Confucius, Mencius, and Laozi provided basic principles of Chinese traditions that evolved into a civilization. This paper explores the parallel debates and exchanges between these intellectual traditions, that have weaved various intellectual traditions through comparisons and intra-cultural conversations. It highlights classical tension within Chinese history, for instance between the wen (cultural attainment) and the wu (martial valor. It is intriguing to mention that despite differing opinions within Chinese intellectual traditions, the differing opinion never emerged as a distinct school of thought. In fact, Chinese intellectual traditions are viewed as embodied with cultural values emphasizing on virtue of harmony, benevolence, righteousness, morality, courtesy, wisdom, loyalty, courage and filial piety as guiding principles for societal co-existence.
