Common Knowledge of Ancient Chinese Culture (Illustrated Revised 4Th Edition)

This book is a concise reading of common knowledge about ancient Chinese culture that Professor Wang Li presided over and convened many experts to compile. It has undergone four important revisions over the past 50 years since its publication. It is still the most important and comprehensive basic reference book for the public to understand the ancient Chinese culture. The whole book is divided into fourteen aspects such as etiquette, clan law, diet, clothing and other aspects. This book has been published in Hong Kong and Taiwan and translated into Japanese, Korean and other languages ​​and is popular at home and abroad. This revision breaks through the previous model. Lewis Eden, a sinology expert who teaches in the United States, is specially hired to take the results of the golden age of Chinese archeology as a starting point. Through "new evidence of ancient history" that combines modern archaeological discoveries with traditional documents, it supplements the latest cultural research results from the perspectives of archeology and anthropology. The revised manuscript and picture annotations contain no empty words, explain the profound things in simple terms, and are full of new ideas. The level is the best among similar publications in decades. The revised content has added some pictures to match the manuscript, and the resolution of the photos of some key cultural relics is astonishingly high. The completed revised version of the manuscript is highly practical and interesting. The revision committee also specially cleared the vocabulary and basic concept obstacles for interested middle school students to read the book.
