Description
As millions of Chinese have settled overseas and as China regains her place as one of the great powers of the world, it behooves us in the West to become more familiar with this rich and varied 5,000-year-old "mother culture" of East Asia. This book is a richly illustrated and comprehensive guide to a broad spectrum of traditional Chinese beliefs, mores, and practices. It will appeal to anyone who want to better understand the Chinese, and the moral and cultural values that they feel strengthen the family and enrich their social, cultural and economic lives.
