review

The Spirit of the Chinese People is a classic work by Gu Hongming. With profound knowledge of both Chinese and Western cultures, he uniquely dissects the core of the Chinese spirit, arguing that Chinese people embody depth, vastness, simplicity, and spirituality, and highlighting that gentleness is their defining trait. His thought-provoking cultural comparisons, despite some limitations due to the era, offer fresh perspectives for understanding ourselves and traditional Chinese culture.
