This book explores how the traditional ideal of Chinese manhood, the fragile scholar hero of wen as superior to the wu of marital prowess, has been transformed by increasing integration of Chinese men into global culture. It discusses how increased travel and contact with the West, where wu figures are a more significant ideal, are shifting the balance and prompting a hybridization of Chinese cultural norms, whilst emphasis on wealth creation in China has also incorporated business skills and monetary power into the concept of wen itself. The book shows that in a very short period China has changed from a relatively isolated state with stable and established cultural ideals, to being greatly globalized.
