This book focuses on reinterpreting mythical China from the
perspective of the cultural theory of big tradition. It is divided
into two parts: the first explains the theoretical development and
features of the Chinese version of big tradition, identifying the
differences between the Eastern and Western cultural traditions
(big tradition and great tradition). The second part then
reinterprets the core values and mythical ideas of Chinese
civilization and traditional culture from the perspective of big
tradition. Moving beyond the small tradition of text centrism and
using new methods and materials, the book reveals the original
meaning and the cultural coding function of big tradition during
the preliterate period. Drawing on integrated evidence from
literature handed down from ancient times, oral and intangible
cultural heritage, tangible culture, cross-cultures, image culture
and unearthed documents, the book interprets Chinese cultural
traditions and spiritual values from local, archaeological,
experiential and survival perspectives, to help readers better
understand the mythical codes and genes of early Chinese culture.
