Chinese World. Roots and Crown

The new book by V.V. Malyavin is a comprehensive study of Chinese culture, the entire way of life in China throughout its historical development, worldview unity, and local diversity. The author reveals the conditions for the formation and decline of traditional Chinese civilization and the transition to modern social consciousness. The exposition is supplemented by numerous illustrations and quotes from literary monuments. Calligraphic inscriptions in an archaic style bring in the "aroma of antiquity," without which it is impossible to imagine the heritage of old China.
