 Free Download Christoph Baumer, "China's Holy Mountain: An Illustrated Journey into the Heart of Buddhism" English | ISBN: 1848857004 | 2011 | 384 pages | PDF | 78 MB Rising from Shanxi Province like a three-dimensional mandala, the soaring peaks of Wutai Shan ('Five-terrace Mountain') have inspired pilgrims and travellers for almost two millennia. A striking terrain of towering emerald forests, wraith-like mists and crenellated ridges, this consecrated and secluded site is said to be the spiritual home of Wenshu Pusa, Bodhisattva of Wisdom. It is one of the most venerable and important Buddhist sanctuaries in China, yet still remains relatively little known in the West. Christoph Baumer has travelled extensively in the Wutai Shan region, and here offers the first comprehensive account of the cradle of Chinese Buddhism. In his remarkable new travelogue, 300 luminous photographs capture the unique spirituality of the 60 monasteries which straddle the complex. Charting festivals, rituals, pilgrimages and the daily life of the monks, abbots and abbesses, 'China's Holy Mountain' is both a splendid introduction to the history of Buddhism in East Asia and an evocative and lavishly-illustrated gazetteer of the monasteries and sacred artefacts themselves.

Chase, Arthur Chan, "China's Evolving Approach to "Integrated Strategic Deterrence"" English | 2016 | pages: 79 | ISBN: 0833094165 | PDF | 0,4 mb Drawing on Chinese military writings, this report finds that China's strategic-deterrence concepts are evolving in response to Beijing's changing assessment of its external security environment and a growing emphasis on protecting its emerging interests in space and cyberspace.

Free Download Jeffrey C. Kinkley, "China Mysteries: Crime Novels from China's Others" English | ISBN: 0824895207 | 2023 | 224 pages | EPUB, PDF | 963 KB + 13 MB With the 1989 Beijing massacre fading from popular memory in the West, China from the mid-1990s to a few years ago felt more open than ever to global trade, communication, travel, and cultural and educational exchanges. There was even talk in the mainstream press that China was heading toward a more democratic future. It was during this second Sino-Western honeymoon that authors in the US, Canada, France, the UK, and elsewhere began writing mystery fiction set in contemporary China in their regional languages. These "China mysteries"―crime, detective, and mystery thriller novels that take place in China but were not written or published there―formed a new genre of popular fiction that highlighted the world's hopes and fears after Tiananmen. The multinational and multicultural writers of China mysteries, among them ex-PRC nationals like Qiu Xiaolong, Zhang Xinxin, and Diane Wei Liang, converged on the China Mainland to negotiate political and cultural complexities through crime fiction Descriptionlines. Their books emerged from Western lineages of the modern novel and popular genre fiction―with Chinese contributions―and depended on Western commercial publishing models shaped by cultural, national, political, and economic factors.
 Free Download China Bibliography: A Research Guide to Reference Works about China Past and Present By Harriet T. Zurndorfer 1995 | 380 Pages | ISBN: 9004102787 | PDF | 16 MB This volume serves as a guide to all facets of China study: from advice on choosing an appropriate literary dictionary to finding the most recent yearbooks that offer statistical data about the contemporary economy. China Bibliography does not restrict itself to one particular 'discipline', but considers the development of Chinese civilization as a whole, from its imperial beginnings to the present, and therefore demonstrates how one would find information about Chinese history, literature, religion, linguistics, collectanea, as well as present day PRC economic and political policies. Because this book also explains how bibliographical data on China has accumulated over the last 300 years (including within China itself), it also may help the reader understand the significance of a particular type of reference work. |
