PLA, Appearing in University Press Books Selected for Public and Secondary School Libraries
This masterful compilation is the most comprehensive sourcebook of chinese civilization ever published in a Western language.

Review

"The selections are excellent, translations faithful and elegant, and introductions terse and to the point. If I were asked to recommend only one book for anyone who wishes to know something about Chinese culture, I would name, without a moment of hesitation, this new edition of Sources of Chinese Tradition." -- Yingshih Yü, Gordon Wu 1958 Professor of Chinese Studies and professor of history, Princeton University
