Iswi: Chinese Culture Dictionary

The *Dictionary of Chinese Culture* is a book that explains the core of Chinese culture—the foundation of a developing China—in an accessible way through representative symbols. It classifies key terms of Chinese culture into nine themes: mythology, figures, the human body, animals, flowers and plants, hobbies and crafts, architecture, colors, and numbers. Furthermore, it examines the cultural nuances possessed by over 200 cultural symbols, going beyond their dictionary definitions to explore the distinct characteristics they hold as individual signs. By introducing readers to various elements of Chinese culture that retain their significance not only in the past but also in the present, this book reminds us of the humanistic significance and value of cultural symbols and helps readers more easily understand the culture of China, which boasts a long history.
