Chinese culture

This "Reading Book of Chinese Culture" not only gives a specific and vivid introduction to some distinctive contents and highlights of Chinese culture, but also strives to explain the spirit of Chinese culture, the inner meaning of Chinese culture, the core value of Chinese culture, and strives to further show the spiritual world, cultural character and life of Chinese people. Live attitude and aesthetic taste, and pay attention to explore the world with universal value in Chinese culture. They hope that this book can not only introduce Chinese culture to readers at home and abroad, but also provide a novel perspective to have an in-depth understanding of Chinese culture. Only this in-depth understanding can illuminate the original face of Chinese culture. I agree with their efforts and pursuits. This book strives to be well written, hoping to have a "living flavor" to read. The book writes about tangible objects such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Terracotta Warriors and Horses, residential buildings, etc., as well as calligraphy, painting, gardens, Peking Opera, porcelain and other works of art. In the author's pen, they all have an inner spirit of life and condense the interest of Chinese life, from which we see a flowing world. The spiritual world of ordinary Chinese people is the focus of this book. In the introduction and analysis of the River during the Qingming Festival, Old Beijing, Old Shanghai, etc., the author found that the Chinese people's hearts are happy, harmonious, peaceful and contented, and found that "ordinary people are really beautiful". The Chinese civilization has lasted for a long time, which may be related to this. This book is not a general introduction to knowledge, but carefully selects some key points and highlights to see the big from the small. In this book, we can see that food, clothing, housing and transportation, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. all reflect the spiritual world and life interests of the Chinese people. Even if it is like a small Go, the author also finds that Go is to communicate with a "like" to create a "good game" together, and finally survive together to achieve spiritual pleasure. This book is not only written clearly and smoothly, but also interesting and charming. The illustrations in the book also fully reflect the beauty of Chinese culture. The Chinese Culture Reader shows the international community the splendid culture of ancient China and the spiritual world of the ancient Chinese people, and the vast, peaceful, open and inclusive inner state of mind and pure and elegant taste of contemporary Chinese people. I believe that friends from all over the world will be very interested in this book. The publication of the Chinese Culture Reader adds to the humanistic connotation of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and is another vivid embodiment of the Humanistic Olympic Games.
