Chinese Dimensions: Their Roots, Mindset and Psyche

"The book explores Chinese history in chronological order as well as the key personalities involved. Events in history influence present thinking while the personalities serve as role models to generations of Chinese. Readers would gain an insight into quotations etched in the Chinese mindset, including proverbs, sayings, poems, and extracts from Confucius, Laozi, Sunzi as well as others. Concepts peculiar to the Chinese psyche are explained in an easy-to-understand manner, centering on yin-yang, the five determinant elements and the I-ching. Collectively they impact on a whole spectrum of uniquely Chinese cultural practices such as the Chinese zodiac, fengshui, pillars of destiny analysis, divination, self-cultivation as well as Chinese medicine."--BOOK JACKET.Yow Yit Seng is the author of 'Chinese Dimensions: Their Roots, Mindset and Psyche', published 2006 under ISBN 9789679789270 and ISBN 9679789276.
