A Brief History of Chinese Culture and Thought (Comprehensive Presentation of the Evolution of Chinese Thought and Culture) (Set of 2 Volumes)

When we write about the long period of China from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the May 4th Movement, it is not difficult to find that this was a glorious period and the contention of a hundred schools of thought with bright stars. But when listing the theories of various scholars, it is necessary to ask the question first: what is Chinese culture? Why study culture? Culture is synonymous with everything from academic thought to food and daily life, and a book that comprehensively tells the history of Chinese culture has not yet appeared, frankly speaking, limited by the time span and the breadth of distribution of historical sites. This is also the responsibility of contemporary intellectuals, that is, faithful recording and review.

Cultural history is neither political history nor intellectual history. Its content should include the spiritual and material development status of the entire nation, so it is the most difficult to compile. The advantages and disadvantages of this book are obvious. Let's talk about the advantages first. It can provide a systematic understanding of the inheritance of Chinese thought and scholarship from ancient times to the present. The disadvantage is that the author's personal opinion is a bit strong, but it is understandable that such a comparison makes me even more surprised by Mr. Zhang Yinlin's writing of Shi Weizheng. However, I am very grateful for this book. The first book I picked up from the library a week ago was the book that started my recent reading journey.

This book is so interesting! It explains the evolution of Chinese thought and culture in a simple and easy-to-understand way, even a junior high school student like me can understand it! And the author's language is also very humorous, which made it easy for me to read. I like the historical stories in it the most, it feels like reading a novel. This book gave me a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. I recommend it to everyone!

Chinese cultural history is something every Chinese needs to learn and understand. Because, as Chinese, although Chinese ideas influence each of us in a subtle way, we are also unknowingly influenced by Western civilization. These foreign civilizations make us think that foreign ones are the best, but we ignore the roots and blood of our own culture. If we don't learn the culture of our own country, then who will learn it? The inheritance of culture requires everyone's efforts, so everyone must understand their own national culture.

China has been around for five thousand years, and Chinese culture is extensive and profound. This book tells the history of Chinese cultural thought and describes this history of cultural thought in simple and concise language, making it easier for readers to understand Chinese culture. This book comprehensively presents the development process of Chinese cultural thought and introduces the development and changes of the times from ancient times to modern times. It is recommended that readers who like history and Chinese culture read this book to learn more about it.
