The Kingdom of the Khans: China Through Western Eyes

About This Novel

This book is an important work by the internationally renowned sinologist Mr. Shi Jingqian! This is not only a book about China, but also a book about cultural stimulation and response. When the West meets the East, what kind of sparks will arise? The famous sinologist Shi Jingqian has collected all the novel and diverse China described by Western writers from the 13th century to the 20th century in this important work that can bear witness to the cultural exchanges between China and the West. What we see through this "diorama" is also Westerners' records and fantasies, insights and prejudices about China for eight hundred years. For Chinese readers, these historical materials, which have been carefully combed through European and Western archives and literary and historical records, have been sewn together by Tian Sun's skillful hands into beautiful stories, like exquisite tapestry. It is not only fascinating, but also broadens our horizons to understand the encounter, collision and interaction of different cultures. Shi Jingqian is good at studying Chinese history. He observes the long history of China from a unique perspective and introduces his observations and research results to readers in an unusual "storytelling" way. His works are sharp, profound, unique and "good-looking", making him not only an internationally renowned sinologist but also a master of writing academic bestsellers. His representative works include "Cao Yin and Kangxi", "The Death of Wang", "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", "In Search of Modern China", etc.
