Chinese culture cherishes peace and upholds moderation as an ideal for personal conduct. When different cultures meet, it is adept at bringing them together without taking sides or holding grievances, valuing harmony and balance. This has enabled the Chinese nation to develop and grow stronger over time. Chinese culture is like a sea fed by countless rivers, vast and boundless. The "Series on Chinese Cultural History" is a collection of accessible books designed to introduce Chinese cultural knowledge to a broad readership interested in history and literature, and to celebrate the splendid achievements of Chinese culture.
