Unlocking the Treasury: Elementary Learning for Boys in Qing China seeks to address the existing gap in Western scholarship regarding pre-modern Chinese primary education, its theories, and textbooks. With a focus on the Qing dynasty textbook, Treasury of Elementary Learning (Youxue qionglin ????), this volume is the first major study of the Treasury in English and reveals a rich tradition of education through close and critical readings of the text. Unlocking the Treasury grounds its study of primary education in the intellectual history of the period.
