"This pleasant, unpretentious account [is] a small stream leading to the ocean of the culture of China."―Scientific American Not a how-to text, this beguiling book is instead a fascinating look at Chinese language and culture. Ranging through history, literature, folklore, linguistics, and sociology, this is a breezy, straightforward primer of surprising breadth.
