中華文化精粹Introduction to Chinese Culture

內(nèi)容概要

Professor CM Si and his team have compiled
this illustratedvolume of 56 succinct essays grouped within 8
chapters, to cover the core myths, festivals, historical sights,
food and sports, arts and crafts, language and literature,
philosophy and international connections. These iconic stories,
localities and cultural practices stretch back thousands of years
and have emerged from amidst myriad other possible competitors as
the foundational cultural grammar of twenty-first century
China.
 This book will be invaluable to all students of
Chinese culture but also to the educated observer of world cultures
and travelers to China. In understanding the foundational
principles underlying Chinese culture, readers will be able to make
far better sense of the uniqueness of the modern China that they
see before them.
Professor Louise Edwards
