Searching for the "world Island": the Formation and Evolution of Central Asia's Cognition in Modern China
by Yuan Jian
About This Novel
As an important region connecting the east and west ends of the Eurasian continent, Central Asia has presented different civilizational ecology and geopolitical significance in ancient, modern and contemporary times. As China has close historical and geographical connections with it, how to construct the integrity of our understanding of Central Asia in the dimension of historical continuity will be directly related to the richness and completeness of China's northwest extraterritorial cognitive framework. Based on the consideration of the geographical importance of Central Asia and the integrity of China's external cognition, this book analyzes and sorts out the evolution of China's modern cognition of Central Asia from the perspective of the whole and the divisions. It strives to supplement the missing links in modern cognition of Central Asia between our existing cognition of the Western Regions and contemporary regional cognition of Central Asia, thereby constructing a cognitive picture of Central Asia with historical continuity and better understanding China as a "community" through cognition of Central Asia.
