The Origin of the Chinese People

The Origin of the Chinese People is a classic treatise on the history of the Chinese people, recording and analyzing in a breathtaking sweep the various facets of their complex civilization - philosophy, political structure, education, economy, language and literature, manners and even clothing.

The author's keen observations of and penetrating insights on the casual factors of dynastic change, interdependence of ethics and politics or the holistic nature of education lend compelling support to his original conclusion that the Chinese people are autochthonous, their script and every form of the civilization indigenous.
