A Generative History of Chinese Culture

Feng Tianyu,

About this book

This book affords a macro-level study of the evolution of Chinese culture by examining the harmonious interplay between humans and Nature, humans and society, and humans and the self, while exploring its profound implications for modern civilisation and cross-cultural dialogue.

Investigating the intricate relationship between these elements through the lens of cultural ecology, the book analyses how China's cultural development is both fostered and constrained by its geographical environment, economic foundation, social structure, and political system. Providing a historical overview of the evolution of Chinese culture, the book reveals its vitality and distinctive features, such as a harmonious nature, diverse convergence, and continuous growth. By comparing ancient and modern civilisations, it convincingly demonstrates how "Chinese wisdom" contributes substantially to the sustainable development of human civilisation and facilitates fruitful cross-cultural dialogue between different cultures and civilisations.

This book will doubtless appeal to academics, researchers, and students of China studies, cultural history, and comparative cultural studies, as well as to readers interested in Chinese culture and cross-cultural communication.
