Rezensionen

"As a fine connoisseur of China's scriptural and spiritual traditions, Benoît Vermander possesses the magic art of making them come alive aurally through their rhythms and visually in their 'textual patterns and cosmic designs' - read it to believe it !"

Anne Cheng, Chair of Chinese intellectual history, Collège de France, Paris

"Few people can match Benoit Vermander's understanding of Chinese culture, especially its literary and philosophical dimensions. In this book he once again illustrates that he can be confidently relied on to propose innovative approaches to whatever subject he touches on."
