Includes Index
Made in China presents a comprehensive picture of all that China - past and present - has contributed to the advance and culture of the civilization of the world. In the Introduction the author says:
"To know that a thing is from China is the feel the spell which began two thousand years ago, the spell which will continue to exist as long as there are Chinese, for it is born of their nature.
"This simple book is but to introduce the average reader to what China has given the world - make him see with keener, more appreciative eyes, the things the Chinese value - beauty, wisdom, and democracy."
There are chapters on silk, tea, poetry, drama, music, food - as well as on painting, sculpture, jade, screens, lacquer, porcelains 0 and a final one on what Free China is doing today "with her bare hands." This is a true, exciting, and dramatic story.
