Features: Chinese culture possesses an extraordinary grandeur and serenity beyond imagination. From the square characters to poetry and prose, from the Hundred Schools of Thought to secular fiction, from the spiritual sanctuary to daily life, the Chinese people unconsciously reveal a cultural style rooted in 5,000 years of civilization. Why did China choose square characters instead of phonetic scripts? What was Empress Wu Zetian's enthusiasm for "word games"? Why does China produce so many "poets"? How did the various deities form a harmonious Eastern pantheon? Why did the great thinkers of China emerge predominantly in the pre-Qin period? How did classical masterpieces become the textbooks for the masses? China Discovered II—The Style of Culture takes readers on a profound journey through the vast and profound Chinese culture, starting from exquisite cultural details.
