Cosmology and Political Culture in Early China Paperback - 2006
by Aihe Wang
First line
Applying a structural analysis to ancient Chinese thought, both Angus Graham and Derk Bodde see the emergence of the Wuxing (Five Phases) system as the result of inserting centrality into older symmetry oppositions, which in turn caused a shift from four components to five, a phenomenon first seen in the texts of the fourth to second centuries B.C.
