Beschreibung
Justus Doolittle's "Social Life of the Chinese" offers a vivid window into everyday Chinese society as it was observed in the nineteenth century. Rather than focusing on politics alone, the book traces how people actually livehow religion shapes customs, how government and social order influence daily behavior, and how education affects attitudes and opportunities. Alongside these themes, Doolittle examines business practices and the beliefs that guide commercial life, revealing the values, expectations, and opinions that underpin social interactions. Through careful description and pointed observation, the first volume builds a compelling portrait of a complex culture, inviting readers to understand not just customs and institutions, but the social logic behind them. Social Life of the Chinese - with some account of their religious, governmental, educational and business customs and opinions - Vol. 1 is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1865.
