The Soul of China offers readers a tour of Chinese tradition and
character lost to the modern era. Richard Wilhelm arrived in China
before the Boxer Rebellion and stayed for a quarter of a century.
He became intimate with retired princes and Taoist priests; he
steeped himself in Chinese philosophy and occultism; he emerged
with a profound respect for the Chinese culture. With chapters on
the Revolution, Chinese country life, royalty and soundrels, and
occultism and religious movements, this book is one man's
fascinating travelogue and exploration of an important age in
Chinese history. Richard Wilhelm (1873-1930) was a German scholar
who translated many philosophical and spiritual works from Chinese
into German that in turn have been translated into other major
languages of the world, including English. His translation of the I
Ching is regarded as one of the finest.
