A Study of the Chinese Cultural Image of Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze

Abstract

At the beginning of the 20th century, an American boy arriving in China for the first time views Chinese social phenomena through the lens of American individual heroism, which leads to both conflict and fusion of ideas. After an in-depth understanding of China, there is both praise for the excellent traditional Chinese thought such as Chinese traditional humanistic thought, and a one-sided understanding of the image of Chinese women and Chinese religious culture. The author’s task is to explore in detail the American’s understanding of Chinese cultural thought in Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze, hoping to help more foreigners reshape the image of China.
