Insights into Chinese Culture is written for Chinese and foreign readers who are interested in Chinese culture. It has been published in Chinese, English, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, French, German and Spanish. In 30 chapters, the book uses model examples and plentiful illustrations to expound on China's wisdom and religion, creativity and communication, art and esthetics, and its folk custom and habits. It focuses on the cultural spirit and core values. As a book that introduces China to the world, it fully demonstrates the charm of Chinese culture with attractive descriptions and hundreds of beautiful illustrations. Readers can explore minds, characters, life attitudes and esthetic taste of Chinese people as well as the universal values contained in Chinese culture.
