註釋Uniquely blending scholarship with a highly original approach, this new introduction to Confucianism is an informative and intriguing guide to China's ancient philosophical tradition.
Against the backdrop of seventeenth-century China, the book follows a Confucian couple together with their family, friends and staff, through a typical day. The result offers a fascinating insight, not only into the intellectual and scholarly aspects of Confucianism, but also into the nature of belief, culture and society in a living philosophical tradition. The key topics covered include:

* the intellectual and social role of women
* Confucianism, art and poetry
* the relationship with the Western world and Western faiths

Capturing the full scope of an ancient tradition, this innovative, well-researched and accessible text will be appreciated by anyone interested in Confucianism- scholars, studetns and general readers alike.
