Bronislav Vinogrodskiy — sinologist, translator, writer, and musician — is rightfully regarded as one of the foremost popularizers of Chinese culture and tea traditions in Russia.
With over forty years dedicated to studying ancient texts and exploring the social, political, and cultural realities of China, Vinogrodskiy unveils the country’s multifaceted essence: through the practice of Qigong or the melodies of the flute, the poetry of millennia-old verses, or the mundane reality of shops packed with fakes.
A journey to China with Bronislav and Elsa Vinogrodskiy offers a blend of insights, observations, and reflections from experts who call themselves practicing social anthropologists. This experience will grant not only access to places and encounters unavailable to ordinary tourists but also a fresh perspective on the operational dynamics of human consciousness within the framework of traditional Chinese worldviews.
