Soft Cover. Condizione: New. First Edition. While humour and laughter are universal human characteristics, tastes and attitudes toward, and social conventions governing the use and expression of humour can vary widely among different cultures. There has in past been a lack of Western language material exploring and explaining humour in Chinese life. The present volume, examining the history, nature and evolution of Chinese humour from ancient times to the early 20th century, provides a highly readable study that admirably addresses this void. Ten internationally acclaimed scholars provide contributions including the exploration of humour and its relationship with healing and traditional Chinese medicine, Confucianism and concepts of 'proper' humour, Daoist humour, humour among members of historical elites, a translation and discussion of Lin Yutang's renowned essay 'On Humour', discovering humour in modern China and more. xviii, 291 pp., 13 b&w figs., notes, bibliography, index. Size: 23 x 15 cm.
