CHIN 3310 - Introduction to Chinese Culture

Institution:

Southern Utah University

Subject:

Chinese

Description:

This course introduces students to major issues and texts in the cultures and societies of China. By positioning Chinese studies within world culture, we will examine key concepts, schools of thought, and time periods from the axial ages (6th C. B.C.) to the present. Some of the subjects to be covered include: the comparative readings between Confucianism and Plato, Indian and Chinese Buddhism in the Han Dynasty, the Chinese and Arabic golden ages (around 10c.), the first encounter with Christian culture; the revolutions of 1919 and 1949; socialist and post-socialist culture. Throughout the course, we will examine primary texts (in English translation) that explore the ideas, events, and underlying tendencies that have shaped Chinese life through the ages. This course is taught in English and no prior knowledge of Chinese language or history is required. (As Needed) []
