Focusing on narratives from the seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries, it examines how Chinese literati engaged with a changing world through imaginative depictions of the foreign-revealing cultural pride, anxiety, curiosity, and critique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing together literary analysis, global history, postcolonial theory, and cultural anthropology, the book challenges the common portrayal of imperial China as isolated and inward-looking. Instead, it reveals a dynamic interplay of Sinocentric confidence and openness to global knowledge in texts such as Yesou puyan and Jinghua yuan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn important study for scholars of Chinese literature, history, and world literature, Beyond Sinocentrism sheds new light on how early modern Chinese narratives negotiated identity and power in a globalizing world. It offers a vital corrective to both Sinocentric and Eurocentric paradigms in the study of China's place in global history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978199859501,"sku":"9781638573333","price":155.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/4na-e5_mSk9781638573333.webp?v=1775800980","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/beyond-sinocentrism-ethnocultural-others-in-early-modern-china-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
