Description

Explore the evolution of identity in this academic study from the Routledge Culture, Society, Business in East Asia Series. This book examines how the traditional Chinese ideal of manhood, defined by the balance of wen (cultural attainment) and wu (martial prowess), is changing due to China's integration into the international community. As travel and contact between China and the West increase, the classic dichotomy is shifting. The text explains how interaction with Western men, who often prioritize the wu ideal, impacts these traditional values. Additionally, the book analyzes how the modern focus on wealth creation in contemporary China is reshaping the concept of wen itself. This work provides a deep look at how globalization and economic shifts transform cultural standards of masculinity.
