At the start of the twenty-first century, China is poised to become
a major global power. Understanding its culture is more important
than ever before for western audiences, but for many, China remains
a mysterious and exotic country. This Companion explains key
aspects of modern Chinese culture without assuming prior knowledge
of China or the Chinese language. The volume acknowledges the
interconnected nature of the different cultural forms, from 'high
culture' such as literature, religion and philosophy to more
popular issues such as sport, cinema, performance and the internet.
Each chapter is written by a world expert in the field. Invaluable
for students of Chinese studies, this book includes a glossary of
key terms, a chronology and a guide to further reading. For the
interested reader or traveler, it reveals a dynamic, diverse and
fascinating culture, many aspects of which are now elucidated in
English for the first time.
