World Languages: Chinese Culture

"Tsien, professor emeritus and curator at the University of Chicago, is an iconic figure in China studies and librarianship in both China and the U.S. This collection consists of articles on the core elements of traditional Chinese culture such as ink, paper, printing, ancient documents, and artifacts, as well as on important Chinese and Western scholars who contribute significantly to Sinology."--Choice

"The 24-year old author, who is fluent in Chinese, examines the future of China through the lens of the Jiu Ling Hou--the generation born after 1990. A close up look at the Chinese generation born after 1990 exploring through personal encounters how young Chinese feel about everything from money and sex, to their government, the West, and China's shifting role in the world--not to mention their love affair with food, karaoke, and travel."
