Twenty Lectures on Chinese Culture: An Intermediary Chinese Textbook

Ah yes, the classic text. I simply think that there could never be a better tool for learning than this gem. This would explain its continued use for so many years. Although by today's standards, it may be a bit rusty, but if there were a better book to educate we intermediate students on the basics of Chinese life, I would certainly like to see it. The authors may lean slightly Nationalist and slightly Confucian, but this is fine with me. The only complaint I have is the use of the eyesore known as Yale romanization, but I can get over it. Excellent text!
