This book provides a cultural matrix of China's vast wealth of history as displayed in the country's many museums. The vivid photos and excellent text contribute to a greater understanding of Chinese history. The book is divided into 10 chapters and subdivided by individual museum.
Part of the educational and beautifully produced Cultural China Series, this book focuses on the wealth of objects and remains that have been preserved in China’s museums. The author contends that understanding China's long history solely through the study of documents is clearly inadequate. A wealth of objects and remains has been preserved, and this raw material of history can, in a certain sense, be considered more valuable for our understanding of the past than documents and historical records. One can see many of China's cultural treasures in Western museums. Some of these are exquisite works of art, but at the same time they are fragments that have been removed from the original matrix of their being. To enjoy a complete and systematic experience of Chinese cultural history, one must visit the museums of their native land.

Part of the Cultural China Series, this book is a perfect primer for anyone interested in Chinese folk art. Full of beautiful photographs and excellent descriptions, the book introduces and interprets folk art from this perspective. Sections include "The Core of Chinese Folk Arts," "Social Context of Folk Arts," "The Art World Created by Chinese Folk Arts," "Creators of Chinese Folk Arts," and "Illustrations of Various Chinese Folk Art Works."
Folk art's presence is evident in everyday food, clothing, shelter and transportation; in traditional festivals, ceremonies and rituals, and in beliefs and taboos. As a living example of cultural heritage, it shows the continuity of Chinese culture from primitive society to the present. With this heritage, Chinese culture boasts the longest history and the richest sources, and of all cultures, considers itself the most widely shared and the most geographically distinct. Like the passing of human heritage by biological genes, the passing of national culture from one age to another also depends on cultural genes preserved from a nation's cultural and philosophical origin. Chinese folk art is an example of such cultural inheritance.

It has been four years since Chinese Kunqu Opera has been awarded the title "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO. As a masterpiece of Chinese classic opera, Chinese Kunqu Opera has gone far beyond the bounds of territory and is today acknowledged the world over.

To further understand its value, we can approach it from three aspects: the dramatic literature, the musical tradition and the performing art system. Chinese Kunqu Opera represents the highest level of Chinese classic theatrical literature, the last heritage of classic music as well as the perfect performance of classic operas.
The work "Chang Sheng Dian" tells of a legendary romance between Emperor Tang Ming and Imperial Concubine Yang. It presents the fine art of Kunqu Chuanqi creation and has become a model for Kunqu Chuanqi creation in structure, character, language and rules and forms of poetry.
The work "Tao Hua Shan" tells a romance of the Ming Dynasty. In particular, the author had made active exploration into the Kunqu Chuanqi creation and achieved an extremely high level in literary depiction.

25 essays written by most well-known female writers in China were selected in this collection. What you will find is that a hard life and a rough environment cannot alter the fact that Chinese women are outstanding. They are plants that move one to tears. They yield no delicate flowers probably because of poverty, dryness, or dust storms, but like cactuses, they tenaciously keep themselves green to prove their worth. Even if a branch is broken off, the wound gives off a fine fragrance.
"I remember that in a discussion abroad of the characteristics of women of different countries, a quite knowledgeable friend said, 'If you ask me which country's women are the most outstanding, I say China!' I asked, 'Does that mean you like Chinese women most?' He replied, 'No, it seems that I've never thought of them that way, because Chinese women are also the most sophisticated.'"

This book, translated through the cooperation of Chinese and American scholars, bridges the gap of understanding and provides a welcomed English text on this difficult religion.
Daoism is considered by many scholars to be the least understood of the world's major religions. Understanding general trends of Daoism is no easy task for a Chinese person; it is even more difficult for a non-Chinese person because the development of Daoism is inseparable from that of Chinese culture. It seems a non-Chinese person must first broaden his or her conceptions of "philosophy" and "religion" in order to grasp the essentials of Daoism.
