a treasury of Chinese wisdom for children and parents

de Sarah Conover

"For over two thousand years, the Chinese have used short sayings known as chengyu to sum up practical wisdom and ethical priniciples ... Gathered in this volume are twenty-four of the most popular chengyu and the stories based on them ..."--Back cover of book. "For readers curious about the cultural context of the tales, the book includes a brief overview of Chinese religious traditions as well as background notes on each story, a map, and chronology."--Eastern Washington University Press.
