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'"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a China $x Civilization. 651 0 $a China $x History. 651 0 $a China $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a China $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014347.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010731.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707014647.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31B9D05CC43111EB854196005EECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
