Download or read book A GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO CHINESE CULTURE written by GU WEILIE and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-05-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A General Introduction to Chinese Culture is a book introducing Chinese culture from the perspectives of institutional culture, material culture and spiritual culture by starting from the exploration over implications of culture, backgrounds, and basic characteristics of traditional Chinese culture. Well-documented, rich in materials and rigorous in theory, the book describes and analyzes almost all aspects of traditional Chinese culture both at macro and micro levels. Innovative and thought-provoking ideas can be found in the summary of the basic characteristics of Chinese culture as well as in the analysis of theoretical issues such as traditional Chinese economic thought, political ideas, the patriarchal system, the imperial examination system, science and technology, academics, religions, cultural spirit and aesthetic pursuits of literature and art, etc. With dialectical and scientific argumentation, the interpretation of traditional culture embodies contemporary consciousness, and it well reflects the latest level of research on traditional Chinese culture. This book has also been used as textbook by the Chinese universities for the graduate students to learn about Chinese culture. Awarded the Second Prize of the National University Press Bestseller by Chinese University Press Association and listed top in the recommended bibliography by many libraries, this book has been reprinted many times and well received by all readers.

Book excerpt: La plupart des concours de la fonction publique et des concours d'entrée dans les grandes écoles (IEP, écoles de commerce, etc.) prévoient une épreuve de culture générale sous diverses formes (dissertation, commentaire de texte, entretien). Epreuve sans programme, réputée discriminante, voire aléatoire, la culture générale demande une préparation spécifique, tant en termes de méthode que de connaissances. A cette fin, l'introduction méthodologique de ce manuel dispense un certain nombre de conseils pratiques et directement mobilisables. Quinze leçons balayent ensuite les grands thèmes de l'épreuve de culture générale (la condition féminine, l'école, la démocratie, la guerre, le devoir de mémoire, etc.) en veillant à assortir chaque raisonnement de références précises et détaillées. Ces dissertations, conçues comme des boîtes à outils, permettront au candidat de comprendre ce qui est réellement attendu de lui, et d'affronter ainsi dans les meilleures conditions l'épreuve de culture générale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of An Introduction to Design and Culture has been revised and updated throughout to include issues of globalization, sustainability and digital/interactive design.
