The most populous country in the world is China. China also has a diverse culture. It's culture stretches back 4, 000 years. The China that we know today was founded in 1949, and is officially called the People's Republic of China. The main language of China is Mandarin Chinese. The four main religions practiced by the Chinese are Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Taoism. http://www.silkroadgroup.com/editor/assets/Nepal/buddhist_circuit_index1.jpg  The capital of China is the city of Beijing.

The poems in this book describe the allure and artificiality of wealth. The poems also move humans in the natural world order.
