Fundamentals of Chinese Culture by Liang Shuming Pdf

Chinese culture, to readers of English, is somewhat veiled in mystery. Fundamentals of Chinese Culture (in pinyin, Zhongguo wenhua yaoyi), a classic of great insight and profundity by noted Chinese thinker, educator and social reformist Liang Shuming, takes readers on an intellectual journey into the five-thousand-year-old culture of China, the world's oldest continuous civilization. With a set of "Chinese-style" cultural theories, the book well serves as a platform for Westerners' better understanding of the distinctive worldview of the Chinese people, who value family life, group-centered life and social stability, and for further mutual understanding and greater mutual consolidation among humanities scholars in different contexts, dismantling common misconceptions about China and bridging the gap between Chinese culture and Western culture. As a translation of Liang Shuming's original text, this book pulls back the curtain to reveal to Westerners a highly complex and nuanced picture of a fascinating people.

Chinese Cultural Traditions by Yujing He Pdf

One of the keys to understanding China is coming to terms with the cultural differences between China and the West. If you were to study Mandarin and master the fundamentals of Chinese writing, it would be a good step forward in communicating with those in China; however there are many roadblocks that would impede true understanding. Studying the differences between cultures can be fun and can help us respect each other's culture and reduce misunderstanding. Just like language, culture and tradition don't spring up overnight. Chinese culture has been around for thousands of years, and has left a lasting impression on over a billion Chinese around the world, generation after generation.
