Sources of Chinese Tradition by Wm Theodore De Bary
Features source readings on history, society, and thought in China. This book aims to bring together source texts from more than three centuries of Chinese history, with opening essays by China authorities providing context for readers not familiar with the period in question. It covers Sino-Western contacts in the 17th century.
If I were asked to recommend only one book for anyone who wishes to know something about Chinese culture, I would name, with a moment of hesitation, this new edition of Sources of Chinese Tradition-- Ying-shih Yu, Gordon Wu 1958 Professor of Chinese Studies and professor of history, Princeton University
