Description
China has created in over 5,000 years a tremendous wealth of art, architecture and culture. Her contribution to the development of civilization throughout the world cannot be ignored.
Chinese culture has made a lasting impact on Asia as have the millions of overseas Chinese who settled throughout the region. Most of these overseas Chinese still cling to their traditional cultural practices and moral values because such practices and values strengthen the family and enrich their social, cultural and economic lives.
Younger generations of Chinese outside and even inside China may be less conscious of their invaluable heritage. This book recounts the luxurious and refined spirit of Chinese etiquette, beliefs, practices, arts and architecture, not just to the Chinese but to all people of our globe.
This book is a richly illustrated and comprehensive guide to a spectrum of Chinese traditions and practices. It is not only a guide to Chinese heritage but it also promotes good health in body and mind. It will appeal to anyone who wants to learn more about the wealth of culture and traditions which have come Out of China.
