The Spirit of the Chinese People by Gu Hongming is a classic. Published in 1915, it aims to defend Chinese culture and correct Western misunderstandings. Gu highlights that the Chinese combine childlike innocence with adult wisdom, living a spiritual life guided by Confucianism. Though some of his views are outdated, the book is a significant effort to reveal the essence of the Chinese spirit, making it a valuable read for cultural insights.
