China and the Chinese

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the exploration of Chinese culture, this collection of lectures from March 1902 aims to spark interest in Oriental studies rather than advance Chinese scholarship. Designed for a general audience, the conversational writing style makes complex ideas accessible and engaging. While some observations remain relevant today, others reflect the era's context, offering a glimpse into historical perspectives on China. This book serves as a thoughtful introduction to Chinese culture for readers seeking to understand its past and present.
