The Rise of Modern Chinese Thought
A landmark Chinese work of intellectual history, arguing modernity was not simply imported from the West.
Wang Hui’s multi-volume study traces Chinese thought from the Song dynasty into the twentieth century, contending that its engagement with modernity drew on indigenous traditions rather than merely reacting to Europe. It is a major work by one of China’s most prominent living intellectuals, and it is demanding by any measure.

I will not right now have time to read Wang Hui, The Rise of Modern Chinese Thought, but it appears to be a major work of importance.
