Book Description
All Chinese Thought, History, Culture, Art, and Science will remain an enigma to the West until we understand the difference between our framework of Heaven and Hell and the Chinese framework of Heaven, Earth, and Man. There are a vast number of books available on every single element of Chinese thought, but that is exactly their limitation, single elements of a vast wholeness. The “Tao of Heaven” is the only book that ties together Ancient Chinese Physics, Medicine, Philosophy, and Spiritual Faith with Tai Chi Chuan.

The Tao Te Ching
Author: Lao Tzu
Publisher: Watkins Media Limited
ISBN: 1786780542
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
A brilliant, beautifully presented translation of the Taoist ‘way of integrity’—Lao Tzu’s classic text and sublimely spiritual teachings on how to live with goodness and integrity. Taosim affirms that each human being is a reflection of the whole universe—a microcosm within the macrocosm—and that all of us live under the same cosmic laws of the Tao. The Taoist follows the path of non-action (Wu Wei), flowing with the constantly changing stream of life, and trying to live in universal harmony and balance. The easily assimilated aphorisms in this great book are a continuous source of spiritual guidance and nourishment, and its insights on statesmanship are practical guides for our own time. Ralph Alan Dale’s brilliant translation uniquely captures, as never before, the essential meaning of this profound text, and makes it entirely relevant to today’s readers.

‘This Culture of Ours’
Author: Peter K. Bol
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804765758
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
This book traces the shared culture of the Chinese elite from the seventh to the twelfth centuries. The early T'ang definition of 'This Culture of Ours' combined literary and scholarly traditions from the previous five centuries. The late Sung Neo-Confucian movement challenged that definition. The author argues that the Tang-Sung transition is best understood as a transition from a literary view of culture - in which literary accomplishment and mastery of traditional forms were regarded as essential - to the ethical orientation of Neo-Confucianism, in which the cultivation of one's innate moral ability was regarded as the goal of learning. The author shows that this transformation paralleled the collapse of the T'ang order and the restoration of a centralized empire under the Sung, underscoring the connection between elite formation and political institutions.

Understanding Chinese and Western Cultures
Author: Tang Yijie
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000646378
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
The title is a collection of essays centering on the topic of intercultural communication between Chinese and Western cultures by Tang Yijie, one of the most renowned philosophy scholars in China. Comprised of five parts, the author discusses how Chinese culture should modernize itself through borrowing from Western culture premised on a self-awareness of Chinese culture per se. The book begins by critiquing theories of the so-called clash of civilizations and new empires and argues for the coexistence of cultures and a global consciousness instead. Chapters in the second part revisit contemporary Chinese culture in transition and call for the cultural integration of China and the West, with China defined in both its ancient and modern guises. By providing reflections on the cultural trends of the 1980s and 1990s, the third part illustrates the inevitable growth of diversified cultural development while analyzing cases of cultural dialogue in history, philosophy and religion. The fourth part demonstrates the significance of culture diversity and interaction while the fifth provides thoughts and reflections on some real-life cultural issues. This title will appeal to all levels of readers interested in Chinese culture, cross-cultural studies and topics of cultural pluralism.
