3.0 out of 5 stars
A compendium of Chinese wisdom and culture,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tong Sing: The Chinese Book of Wisdom (Paperback)
Though based on a book which is apparently in every Chinese home, this is not a translation but the author's interpretation of the original for English readers. It is full of interesting information about, for example, Chinese history, divination, wisdom and food. Nothing is dealt with in very much depth, however. There are some beautiful, coloured, Chinese illustrations
