    2009–2010 Penn Humanities Forum on Connections and Penn Museum present: Victor Mair, Professor of Chinese Language and Literature, Penn. “China” is often viewed as a pristine civilization that developed in isolation, sealed off behind a figurative and physical “Great Wall.” In reality, the cultures of the East Asian Heartland have been significantly connected to others in Eurasia since the Bronze Age. In this lecture, Penn Sinologist Victor Mair maps the network of cultural contacts in the ancient Far East. Guided tour of the Penn Museum's Chinese collection at 4 pm.
