Looking Back at Rivers [Chinese]

By Zhuo Yun Xu

In this collection, which synthesizes over ninety years of personal insights and millennia of civilizational wisdom, historian Hsu Chao-yun turns his gaze to the intersection of the individual and culture, the era and the inner self. From the ritual systems of agrarian civilization to the philosophical reflections on life within Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism; from the order of a universal sovereign to the awakening of individual life's value--drawing from the depths of Chinese culture, he contemplates humanity's place within society, history, and the cosmos. We are both inheritors of civilization and builders of meaning.
