Collected Writings on Chinese Cultural History

This is an excellent companion for anyone familiar with Tsien's work and also a welcome resource for readers unfamiliar with the author's writings and extensive impact within East Asian studies and across all of academia.
A major observer and writer of Chinese cultural life, Tsien Tsuen-hsin contributed profoundly to the West's understanding of the East, and vice versa, spending sixty years as a professor and curator at The University of Chicago. These articles illuminate such topics as Chinese documents, Chinese paper, ink-making, printing, cultural exchange, libraries, and biographies, which were Tsien Tsuen-hsin's primary interests. Most of these articles were written in English and then later translated into Chinese or other languages, but several were originally written in Chinese and have been translated into English especially for this collection. An appendix includes biographical and critical context for readers unfamiliar with the author's brilliant thought and extensive impact.
