书评

Written on the eve of the Beijing Olympic Games, the book aims to provide readers at home and abroad with a fresh and in-depth understanding of Chinese culture. I feel like it did.

In fact, the book is simple and easy to understand but not lose depth, as if a wise man told the story, describing the spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation for five thousand years. As the preface says: The new writing method is to grasp some of the most distinctive contents and highlights of Chinese culture, try to use typical examples and materials to make a more specific and in-depth introduction, at the same time, strive to tell the spirit and inner meaning of Chinese culture, core values.

The book also covers a wide range of subjects, from Confucius' study of heaven and man to the Silk Road, the Great Wall to art and beauty, from the Painting of Riverside Scene on the Qingming Festival, we can appreciate the Chinese people's satisfied mentality for a calm, peaceful and harmonious life. From pure porcelain, misty and misty gardens in the south of the Yangtze River and gentle women's cheongsam, to the Chinese people's elegant taste in life and aesthetic world, the pursuit of aesthetic life can be seen from the atmosphere of poetry created by the Chinese in playing the piano, playing chess, drinking wine and drinking tea...

In a word, let you know China from a broader perspective, know more about the culture rooted in this soil of your motherland, and feel the spirit of our national culture.
