Collected Writings on Chinese Cultural History
Tsuen-Hsuin Tsien
About the Book
A great observer and writer of Chinese culture, Tsuen-Hsuin Tsien contributed profoundly to the West's understanding of the East, and vice versa, spending six decades as a professor and curator at The University of Chicago. These articles explore Chinese documents, Chinese paper, ink making, printing, cultural exchange, libraries, and biographies, which were Tsuen-Hsuin Tsien's primary interests. An appendix includes biographical and critical context for readers unfamiliar with the author's brilliant thought and extensive impact.
