Contemporary Chinese Culture (English Edition): Ideology, Arts, Heritage & Cultural Industry in the 21st Century

Contemporary Chinese Culture (English Edition): Ideology, Arts, Heritage & Cultural Industry in the 21st Century

From the Evolution of Cultural Construction and Moral Trends to Literature and Art, Education and Technology, Heritage Protection, Religious Culture and Foreign Exchanges — A Systematic Overview of How Culture Works in Contemporary China
This is not a general introduction to Chinese culture, and it is not a collection of essays about traditions and customs. It is a systematic overview of how culture actually functions in contemporary China—how the state organizes cultural construction, how people’s cultural rights are protected, what kind of moral and ethical trends are being promoted, how literature and art are developing, how education and technology are advancing, how cultural heritage is being protected and passed on, how religious culture is managed, how the cultural industry is structured, and how China engages in cultural exchange with the rest of the world. The author, Ouyang Xuemei, is a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the book is part of a series that presents contemporary China across five dimensions—economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological. If you want to understand the cultural dimension of contemporary China in a structured, factual way—rather than read a cultural history or a book of customs—this is it.
