This collection of essays or papers discusses a wide range of topics, from Chinese clan lineages and its growth and demise as a economic power to the quasi religious naming practices found in some Chinese genealogies. It is a fascinating read if one is interested in the social order and customs of a different culture. I bought this for myself and a friend, and heartily recommend it to all.
