The Hawai'i Reader in Traditional Chinese Culture is a collection of more than ninety primary sources--all but a few of which were translated specifically for this volume--of cultural significance from the Bronze Age to the turn of the twentieth century. They take into account virtually every aspect of traditional culture, including sources from the non-Sinitic ethnic minorities.
