Anotácia knihy

Ten Thousand Things explores the many forms of life, or, in ancient Chinese parlance the ten thousand things that life is and is becoming, in contemporary Beijing and beyond. Farquhar and Zhang show that there are many activities that nurture life: practicing meditative martial arts among friends in a public park; jogging, swimming, and walking backward; dancing, singing, and keeping pet birds; connoisseurship of tea, wine, and food; and spiritual disciplines ranging from meditation to learning a foreign language. As ancient life-nurturing texts teach, the cultural practices that produce particular forms of life are generative in ten thousand ways: they give birth to life and transform the transformations. This book attends to the patterns of city life, listens to homely advice on how to live, and interprets the great tradition of medicine and metaphysics.
