Samenvatting
Learning Chinese in one day is not possible. It is however possible to gain enough understanding of the language to detect the enriching philosophical and aesthetic universe hidden inside the Chinese characters. I hope this book will convince you to study the Chinese language and to experience the endless joy and excitement I have experienced throughout my life. [Jeanne Boden]
Language is more than just communication. Learn Chinese in One Day discloses the system of the Chinese characters and analyzes how Confucianism and Taoism are embedded in everyday language and how language is used as a political, economic, ethical, strategic and commercial tool.
