Understanding its culture is more important than ever before for western audiences, but for many, China remains a mysterious and exotic country. This Companion explains key aspects of modern Chinese culture without assuming prior knowledge of China or the Chinese language. The volume acknowledges the interconnected nature of the different cultural forms, from 'high culture' such as literature, religion and philosophy to more popular issues such as sport, cinema, performance and the internet. Each chapter is written by a world expert in the field. Invaluable for students of Chinese studies, this book includes a glossary of key terms, a chronology and a guide to further reading. For the interested reader or traveler, it reveals a dynamic, diverse and fascinating culture, many aspects of which are now elucidated in English for the first time. 410 0$aCambridge companions to culture. 607 $aChina$xCivilization$y1912-1949 607 $aChina$xCivilization$y1949- 676 $a951.05 702 $aLouie$b Kam 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201152103316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to modern Chinese culture$92493697 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
