Abstract
Designed for new students, this textbook provides an introduction to China studies. As a regional science, Sinology borrows methods and models from other disciplines. Accordingly, students must learn the various ways that the subjects of study are defined and used. The book presents 14 disciplines, each with their own specific themes, terminology, and working methods in relation to China.
