This is the first book in either English or Chinese to address complex Chinese cultural traditions about humour and laughter. It brings a Chinese perspective to international studies of humour as a universal form of human behaviour through its scholarly and readable contributions ranging from language, literature and philosophy to medicine, history and politics.
