Collected Writings on Chinese Cultural History
No Customer Reviews
A great observer and writer of Chinese culture, Tsien Tsuen-hsin contributed profoundly to the West's understanding of the East, and vice versa, spending six decades as a professor and curator at The University of Chicago. These articles explore Chinese documents, Chinese paper, ink making, printing, cultural exchange, libraries, and biographies, which were Tsien Tsuen-hsin's primary interests. Most of these articles were written in English and then later translated into Chinese or other languages, but several were originally written in Chinese and have been translated into English especially for this collection. An appendix includes biographical and critical context for readers unfamiliar with the author's brilliant thought and extensive impact.
