The book surveys the 1400-year history of Islam in China and explores why the four books translated from Islamic languages into Chinese before the twentieth century were all Persian Sufi texts. The author also looks carefully at the two most important Muslim authors of books in the Chinese language, Wang Tai-yü and Liu Chih. Murata shows how they assimilated Confucian social teachings and Neo-Confucian metaphysics, as well as Buddhism and Taoism, into Islamic thought. She presents full translations of Wang's Great Learning of the Pure and Real-a text on the principles of Islam-and Liu Chih's Displaying the Concealment of the Real Realm, which in turn is a translation from Persian of Lawā'iḥ, a famous Sufi text by Jāmī. A new translation of Jāmī's Lawā'iḥ from the Persian by William C. Chittick is juxtaposed with Liu Chih's work, revealing the latter's techniques in adapting the text to the Chinese language and Chinese thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSachiko Murata \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor of Comparative Studies at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Tao of Islam: A Sourcebook on Gender Relationships in Islamic Thought\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by SUNY Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 278\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.76 x 5.66 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42590891606112,"sku":"9780791446386","price":78.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/ZXB4RWlndjZwS3h4RVpxc1h6dGw4UT09.webp?v=1771347362","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/chinese-gleams-of-sufi-light-wang-tai-yus-great-learning-of-the-pure-and-real-and-liu-chihs-displaying-the-concealment-of-the-real-realm-with-a-ne-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
