The Changing Chinese: The Conflict Of Oriental And Western Cultures In China

""The Changing Chinese: The Conflict of Oriental and Western Cultures in China"" is a non-fiction book written by Edward Alsworth Ross. The book is an exploration of the cultural clash between the traditional Chinese culture and the modern Western culture that occurred during the early 20th century. The author, who was a sociologist and professor at the University of Wisconsin, draws on his personal experiences and observations from his travels to China to provide insights into the social, economic, and political changes that were taking place in the country at that time. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the cultural conflict in China. The first part examines the traditional Chinese culture, including its values, beliefs, and social structure. The second part looks at the impact of Western culture on China, including the introduction of new ideas, technologies, and social norms. The third part explores the tensions and conflicts that arose as a result of these cultural clashes, including the Boxer Rebellion and the emergence of Chinese nationalism. Overall, ""The Changing Chinese"" provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of the complex cultural dynamics that were shaping China during a critical period of its history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Chinese culture, history, or sociology, and offers a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that arise when different cultures come into contact with each other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
