Features: This book was written during the War of Resistance against Japan. It is the first systematic work by the master of Chinese studies, Qian Mu, to elaborate on his views on Chinese culture, following his Outline of Chinese History, and also one of his most important academic representative works in his lifetime. The book provides an introduction to the cultural history section within the general history. Therefore, this book should be read together with Outline of Chinese History to fully grasp the author's main intentions. Although the book primarily focuses on China, it also discusses the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western cultures. Qian Mou has written extensively on the topic of Chinese and Western cultural issues, and his general arguments largely do not deviate from the main framework presented in this book.
