Divided into two volumes, China in View—From Tradition to Contemporary has  “Traditional Culture” in Volume I and “Contemporary Society” in the other, with a total of eight units out of 25 chapters—each unit includes three chapters in addition to “A Brief  Introduction to China”. Each chapter, with abundant illustrations, provides an outline and keywords in both English and Chinese, and has a variety of interesting exercises and challenging questions for discussion. From the perspective of Western readers, this book covers the essentials of Chinese culture in its depth and breadth, and from the past to the present, while striving to be concise and to the point. This book can not only be used as a textbook for courses on world culture in universities and high schools, it can also be used as a reading material to explore Chinese culture.
