Wu Wei’s Decoding Chinese Cultural Symbols offers a comprehensive interpretation of how cultural signs reflect China’s history, philosophy, and values. The book examines a wide range of symbols—colors, foods, animals, plants, and mythical figures—revealing their role in shaping Chinese identity and worldview. Wu argues that cultural meaning is embedded in daily life, and understanding these symbols provides deeper insight into Chinese civilization. Blending scholarly rigor with accessible explanation, this work serves as both an academic reference and an engaging guide for students, researchers, and general readers interested in Chinese culture and cross-cultural studies..
