Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...out over a smooth, hard-beaten earth floor in the open air, and thresh it either with flails, or by rolling over it a stone drawn by a donkey. When a breeze comes, the grain is tossed in the air, the kernels falling straight, and the chaff and dust being blown away. In the use of manure and in irrigation the Chinese are very proficient. Manure is gathered from all conceivable sources. In the cities all the night-soil is taken from the houses, gathered from the streets and alleys, mixed with clay, and dried in the sun, and is then sold to farmers. On country roads where horses, mules, and camels pass, numerous men, boys, and girls gather up the material to spread on the fields. Earth from canals, rivers, and streets is carted away for the same purpose. "Other substances are diligently collected," says Will iams, "such as hair from the barber shops, exploded firecrackers, sweepings from the streets, lime and plaster from kitchens and old buildings, soot, bones, and animal remains." In this occupation tens of thousands of people make a living. In irrigating his land, the farmer uses many devices. He directs running water, if it is procurable, over his land into large channels. These are banked in with clay and subdivided into small streamlets until all the land has been reached. If there is no running water, a well is dug, and the water drawn up by hand and poured into the main ditches, from which small ditches branch out. Sometimes holes are dug in which rain-water accumulates. I noticed some curious things at the hills. At times the ravines would be as dry as a bone. Then in July and August great rains came, and at the chief outlet, where several ravines came together, one could swim a horse. I have often seen the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from China and Her People, Vol. 1 of 2: Being the Observations, Reminiscences, and Conclusions of an American Diplomat Such a book should be interesting and val nable. This, I am confident the reader will find, is both. The style of the author is most delightful, and in the purely memoir part he leads the reader into an understanding and an appreciation of the court life at Peking, and one cannot help feeling with him deep regret that the community of diplomats there is no more. His statement of the inner life and Spirit and aspirations of the Chinese people will be found most sympathetic and accurate. It is a pleasing and favourable view that the author takes of the Chinese people, and we ought to be thankful that their case is stated so well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes up one of the most important themes in Chinese thought: the relation of pleasurable activities to bodily health and to the health of the body politic. Unlike Western theories of pleasure, early Chinese writings contrast pleasure not with pain but with insecurity, assuming that it is right and proper to seek and take pleasure, as well as experience short-term delight. Equally important is the belief that certain long-term relational pleasures are more easily sustained, as well as potentially more satisfying and less damaging. The pleasures that become deeper and more ingrained as the person invests time and effort to their cultivation include friendship and music, sharing with others, developing integrity and greater clarity, reading and classical learning, and going home. Each of these activities is explored through the early sources (mainly fourth century BC to the eleventh century AD), with new translations of both well-known and seldom-cited texts.
