Abstract: Different from the generally called “humanities”, “the study of humanity” coined in this paper ultimately aims to explore the transcendental spirituality of human beings. As practical wisdom, the study of humanity is not only the study but also the dao of spiritual cultivation. With a long history of spiritual cultivation, Chinese philosophy pursues the unity of the dao of human and the dao of Heaven. Regarding a human being as an animal with “wisdom”, Chinese philosophy advocates the “transformation of knowledge into wisdom”. As a study of cultivation, Chinese philosophy is both philosophical and religious. It advocates the unity of knowledge and action, encourages cultivation, and understands humans transcendental spirituality as a belief of existence. Accordingly, Chinese study of humanity attributes importance to the unity of literature and dao, In this sense, Chinese study of humanity has a close relationship with hermeneutics.
