Yang Tingyun, Confucian and Christian in Late Ming China
His Life and Thought
Series: - Sinica Leidensia, Volume: 19
Author:
China, the third largest and the second most populous country in the world, is one of the oldest continuous civilisations surviving to the present day. Its political and economic influence, reaching well beyond Asia, has over the past decades grown at an astonishing pace, something which makes a thorough understanding of its history and mentality into one of the essential aims of today's scholarship.
Brill's renowned book series Sinica Leidensia, founded in 1931 and edited by an international board of Sinologists, has over the decades steadily and reliably furthered knowledge on traditional, and therewith contemporary China. It deals with the full scope of China's rich history, cultural, political, social, and economic, and also with China's religion, philosophy, science, literature, arts, languages, and technology.
The series features monographs on substantial subjects, coherent collections of articles, text editions, and translations. Text editions are, as a rule, accompanied by a translation on facing pages. Translations are fully annotated, and the introductions to both text editions and translations include full evaluations of the text concerned. All volumes are in English.
