Book Synopsis The Impact of Buddhism on Chinese Material Culture by : John Kieschnick
Book excerpt: Buddhism had a profound effect not only on Chinese philosophy and ritual, but also on the material culture of China. Examining the impact of books, bridges, sugar, tea and the chair, amongst other things, this text looks at how attitudes to such novelties affected the history of Chinese Buddhism.
