Description

Part 1: The Middle Kingdom - The programme begins by establishing how China today is viewed through the eyes of the democratic nations of the world. .GEOGRAPHY - The all important geography of China and how it has effected China s past. .THE DYNASTIES OF CHINA - A brief overview of the Dynasties of China, remarkable for their duration and the peace and stability they engendered. ABOUT CONFUCIUS - Confucius and his thinking and how he came to dominate the Chinese world view. .WRITING AND CONTROL - The establishment of the Chinese character script and how it affected the the controls of government. .MODERN CHINA - The establishment of modern China and its current undemocratic government. Review I found this a fascinating series. So much that reaches us on China these days is grim, noisy, hyperactive and unsettling, but here we get a different rather more leisurely, optimistic picture of the country, and a beautiful one. A scholarly and informed guide, Hossick takes us through the cultural and political history of China, attending its operas, reading its literature and reflecting upon its leaders. He shows us so much that is beautiful in the culture and positive in the people, and reveals the extent to which Confucius' (Mr. Kong's) benign wisdom at one time pervaded the country's psychology and governance. The series also gives us some insight into how these very qualities left the people vulnerable to being led down the distressing road of their recent history. It ends on a note of optimism that China can regain its lost self and its Confucian ideals to the benefit not only of the Chinese people, but of all of us. Rather like a piece of Chinese artwork itself, the series moves at a reflective pace with time and light surrounding the beautiful images and measured narration. Highly recommended --Judith Ramm, Retired Head Teacher & Amazon Customer REVIEW OF ACADEMY MEDIA'S 'FAMOUS AUTHORS' SERIES: Drawing on old maps, contemporary drawings and paintings, portraits and other archive material, the excellent Famous Authors series not only presents a factual outline of the writer's life, but also conveys a clear visual picture of the social and historical background to his or her writing. Recommended for all ages. --The Good Book Guide
