Abstract
China is a country with an ancient and rich culture. A country that has experienced no less than the great civilizations of antiquity and the Middle Ages shows steady growth and potential for prosperity in the 21st century. Perhaps, the reason for this stability lies in a different understanding of the person's fate and role in this world. Understanding, which gives the opportunity to act, preserve and develop the whole system of culture. This article analyzes the concept of the fate of the philosophy of ancient China. We will analyze the views of the two philosophical schools - Confucianism and Taoism. The way out to the problem of fate in ancient Chinese philosophy will be realized through a person. In our study, we will also talk about those terms through which the concept of "fate" - Tao, Heaven and Nature - is transmitted. This analysis is necessary for the subsequent understanding of the human behavior strategy in the world. In addition, this analysis provides an opportunity for subsequent historical and cultural comparison of Western European and Chinese civilization.
