Summary

Herbert Giles was one of the greatest scholars of Chinese culture and his overview of the origins of the religions and philosophical trends that have dominated China over the millennia is a ground-breaking piece of scholarship. Giles, who was for many years professor of Chinese at the University of Cambridge, also helped create the romanization system for the pronunciation of Mandarin in English (the Wade-Giles system). Giles discusses the pre-historical origins of religious thought in China, the origins and implications of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, and also reviews other religions that have impacted Chinese culture over the millennia.

Author Biography

Graham Earnshaw is the publisher of Earnshaw Books and of China Economic Review. His own books include On Your Own in China (1984), Tales of Old Shanghai (2008) and an account of his continuing walk across China, The Great Walk of China (2010), and the Formosa Fraud (2017). Herbert Giles was one of the most prominent Sinologists of the late 19th century and early 20th century, and his name is forever linked to what was for many decades the primary romanization system into English of Mandarin Chinese: Wade-Giles.
