Features: The book An Outline of Ancient Chinese Life and Customs actually reflects two important ideas of Professor Xu Jialu regarding the relationship between language and culture: first, that language is the most important carrier of culture, and second, that culture is primarily condensed in vocabulary. It is not a work that examines classical political systems; although it occasionally offers insights that differ from established views, the main focus is on summarizing common facts from ancient poetry and prose and presenting them to readers in an accessible manner.
Discover the mysteries of Dream of the Red Chamber with Liu Xinwu's decoding; solve the mysteries of the "Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty" with the One Hundred Schools Forum; all authoritative documentaries from CCTV-10, including Exploring China, Unveiling China, and Discoveries, are included here. Don't miss out!
