Hardcover. Zustand: New. China and India: Dialogue of Civilizations is a highly original study expounding two millennia of literary dialogue between the two Asian giants right from the beginning of Buddhist sutra translation and its influence on various facets of Chinese literature to the modern and contemporary Indian studies in China and Chinese studies in India. The transmission of Indian fables, myths and theatre into China, dissemination of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and adaptation of certain contents from these into Chinese and Buddhist literature is very interesting. The volume exhibits the translation and textual research of leading Indologists such as Padma Bhushan Ji Xianlin, Xu Fancheng, Jin Kemu, Huang Baosheng and Liu Anwu as well as contemporary scholars of Indian studies in China. A great Sanskrit scholar, Xu Fancheng, who remained in incognito hitherto, in fact was the first Chinese to translate the Upanishads. Tan Yunshan and P. C Bagchi`s contribution towards China studies in India, and Osho fervour in China at one time opens up some new areas of enquiry. The study will certainly enable readers from both the countries and beyond to rediscover the flow of cross-cultural currents between the two civilisations.

History of Chinese Literature reflects China's philosophical, cultural, and social transformations over two millennia, preserving its timeless essence while continuing to inspire readers globally.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Ji Xianlin: A Critical Biography reconstructs the academic, professional and personal journey of the doyen of Indology, Buddhism and Orientalism in China. Though his Journey of life remains full of trials and tribulations, emotional world lay buried deep under the familial and professional obligations, nonetheless, true to the evaluation, he remains indispensable as far as China's translation, comparative literature, Dunhuang-Turfan studies and cultural exchanges are concerned. India runs through his veins throughout this journey, whether it is his path breaking textual research on the dissemination of paper and silk from China to India or the sugar from India to China, or the Indian Literature in China and translation of Ramayana, Panchtantra, Shanakuntla etc. from Sanskrit, or the reminiscences of his visits to India, one and all have been supplemented with credible primary sources from historical records. It is not easy to weave a tapestry of the life and works of a person as versatile as Ji Xianlin, but the authors have done a remarkable job in mirroring Ji Xianlin's journey through the Qing, Republican and the People's Republic. I believe this tapestry will be woven uninterrupted, for Ji Xianlin remains a link between the past and the future.
