Chinese Fables 1.0 Description: "Chinese children are made to learn (proverbs and maxims)by heart, and ordinary grown-up Chinamen may be almost said to think in proverbs." Professor Herbert A. Giles, 1892.This quote from Herbert A. Giles (he compiled the first exhaustive Chinese-English dictionary in 1892) aptly describes the contents of Chinese Fables, a handsome new ebook. This program presents the sensibility and pragmatism of Chinese culture and thought. It's a collection of 43 fables with beautiful Chinese artwork and music. These traditional proverbs were originally told from 722 through 221 BC (mostly by Chuang Tzu and Lieh Tzu). Now they're in a navigable ebook format to be learned and treasured for millenniums to come. If you've never experienced Chinese Fables, they're similar to the tales of Aesop. Each fable contains a brief story with an underlying moral. Using the ebook, you can casually browse through each fable and print each page, as you'd like. Use a complete index to find proverbs by name. There's even a search tool that will help you retrieve fables based on particular words and concepts. Chinese Fables is a rewarding handbook for the intellect and conscious. The tales and anecdotes, passed down from generation to generation, will be a wonderful addition to your ebook collection. The morals are more often implied than spelled out, Recent changes in this New Release:  Download:Download links Spot: Comments (Add comment) |
