Improve your understanding of Chinese people and culture through
key words and language. The Chinese Mind pinpoints traditional
Chinese values and behaviors that continue to play a significant
role in their business and social relationships. Long-term
expatriate and journalist Boye Lafayette De Mente also identifies
key areas of Chinese culture that have changed as a result of the
adoption of a market-based economy and other elements of Western
culture. It includes discussion topics and questions, along with an
extensive selection of Chinese "code words" that explain the
essence and role of certain elements of traditional culture that
have survived into modern times. Covering everything from the
importance of the great Chinese philosopher Confucius to the
influence of foreign fast food and video games, this book provides
a wide-ranging glimpse into the Chinese mind. Some of the vital
concepts explored here include: Yin and Yang--the search for
balance in all things. Mianji--the importance of face.
Hong--looking at things holistically. De--the power of virtue. Guo
cui--the national essence of the Chinese. Zhong fu--the pursuit of
insight. Bi --unity the Chinese way. The Chinese Mind is an
excellent overview of Chinese tradition, history, and culture that
is perfect for students, tourists, or anyone who is curious about
life and business in China.
