The rise of the dramas in the thirteenth century, and the rise of the great novels in a later period, together with their frank glorification of love and the joys of life, may be called the Third Renaissance.

But I wish to point out that it is entirely wrong to say that the Chinese are not religious.

India Conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border.

It is true that the Chinese are not so religious as the Hindus, or even as the Japanese; and they are certainly not so religious as the Christian missionaries desire them to be.

Practically all the prominent leaders of thought in China today are openly agnostics and even atheists.

Historically, there had been many periods of Chinese Renaissance.

Life and human society are the chief concern of Confucianism and, through it, the chief concern of the Chinese people.
