Chinese, one of the oldest active languages, evolved over 5,000
years. As such, it makes for a fascinating case study in the
development of language. This cultural history of Chinese
demonstrates that the language grew and responded to its music and
visual expression in a manner very similar to contemporary English
and other western languages. Within Chinese cultural history lie
the answers to numerous questions that have haunted scholars for
decades: How does language relate to worldview? What would happen
to law after its language loses absolute binding power? How do
music, visual, and theatrical images influence literature? By
presenting Chinese not as a system of signs but as the history of a
community, this study shows how language has expanded the scope of
Chinese imagination and offers a glimpse into the future of younger
languages throughout the world.
