The Historical Roots of Modern China's Aesthetic Obsessions Professor Wang Gungwu has spent a lifetime studying Chinese history, and his work continues to offer valuable insights into the cultural currents that shape modern China.
As interest in traditional Chinese aesthetics grows, from ancient inspired interiors to revivalist fashion, it is worth considering what lessons might be gleaned from Wang's vast body of research.
Wang's magnum opus, The Nanyang Chinese , is a sweeping narrative of Chinese migration and cultural exchange across the centuries.
