This article discusses the Chinese philosophy of truth, as far as the practice of Chinese philosophy in the philosophy of personality traits and certain related special knowledge in the world it is the character of the discussions. First of all, on the question of objectivity, that the theory of teaching within the three religions have a basic philosophical question each other deduction on the internal structure of argumentation theory and the concept of absolute consistency, but the three religions to each other because of differences in world view and awareness of the problem caused the different theories of different types of students, of each other so subjective, it must be considered relative truth. Second, the applicability of that doctrine of reason of this is to solve three different problems, therefore the use of the three religions of truth must also align the scope of practice or after the scholars will be extremely inaccurate, and asked each other in the different schools of criticism . Third, check card, pointing out that the practice, to achieve the inspection certificates which can be true, but in practice can not be achieved Shique not say that the negation of the system, because it still involves the practitioner's capacity. Fourth, on the choice, pointing out that no system of three religions and three normalized, or create a new system to Prehension public house, which is mainly on the needs and the theory is technically unnecessary and difficult to achieve. The really important thing to understand only in the correct and accurate interpretation, and thus effectively Dusing, and create the ideal life only. This understanding of the work that is applicable and inspection certificates, select the four on the truth of the character of Chinese philosophy to make the discussion that China is an important part of philosophy and methodology of the study and discussion. This paper is to discuss the question of the view of truth in Chinese philosophy based on the aspects of Chinese philosophy as a practical philosophy and specific knowledge in the world. First, regarding objectivity, it's pointed out that the theoretical systems of the three religions are theoretically consistent and ideally absolute in the respect of alternating deductions between the internal philosophical structures of the fundamental philosophical questions. But, due to the differences both in their worldviews and problem consciousness, each of the three religions leads to different type of theories that looks subjective to one another and therefore must be seen as relative truth. Second, in terms of applicability, it's pointed out that the philosophies of the three religions are originally meant to solve different problems and therefore the applications of their views of truth should be trained at the right target area. Third, about the question attesting, we point out that what can be practiced and realized will accordingly be attested to be true, while what can be practiced but not realized should not be simply regarded as something denied by the system, because the practitioner's ability must be factored in. Fourth, in terms of choices, it's pointed out that the three religions don't need to be united as one or made into a new system, mostly because such a unity or new system is neither necessary nor easily realized to the needs of life or theoretical techniques. What really matters is to understand correctly and to interpret precisely so as to solidly practice and create an ideal life. As a study and discussion of an important section of the methodology of Chinese philosophy, this paper is intended to talk about the nature of truth in Chinese philosophy by means of interpretation, application, verification, and choosing
