Chinese culture was recommended years ago as one of the necessary courses for English majors by the Ministry of Education of China. This book is primarily aimed at Chinese readers, in particular, Chinese college students majoring in
English, tourism, foreign trade, foreign affairs and international cultural exchange. It is also of great use and hopefully a necessity for Chinese students studying abroad, for foreign students of Chinese, and all those who know English and are interested in Chinese culture.
The book consists of 15 chapters. For the convenience of the readers the authors provide glossary and notes for each chapter. To make the topics more interesting, they include two passages as supplementary readings in each chapter. Simple but practical exercises are provided after each chapter so that students can practice what they have learned from the chapter. What's more, it also includes a list of suggested readings at the end of each chapter as a guide for further reading.
This book can be used as a textbook in a one-semester course or as supplementary reading in courses dealing with various inspects of Chinese history or culture.
