Binding: Paperback
Description: Understanding China and the Chinese is of paramount importance in today's world. With China's rapid economic growth and increasing political influence there has been significant interest in learning the Chinese language around the world. While we constantly hear about China in political and economic terms we rarely come across a book that explains what Chinese culture or a Chinese person is like today. This book offers a critical overview of Chinese culture intended for college students as well as for general readers interested in the topic. While Chinese culture is often deployed in terms of kung fu Confucius or calligraphy this book refers to the traditional and modern experiences out of which contemporary Chinese people have grown. Internationally renowned scholar in China Studies Professor Qian Suoqiao invites readers to join him on an exciting intellectual journey to critically explore important issues including history language governmentality self - cultivation aesthetics of life nationalism cosmopolitanism communism the rise of China and her soft power which contribute to the formation of what we call Chinese'.
