Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Characteristics Within the past thirty years, the Chinese has madeyhimself a factor in the. Affairs of many lands. He is seen to be irrepressible; is felt to be incomprehensible, He cannot, indeed, be rightly understood in any country but China, yet the impression still prevails that he is a bundle of contradictions who cannot be understood at all. But after all there is no apparent reason now that, several hundred years of our acquaintance with China have elapsed, why what is actually known of its people should not be co-ordinated, as well as any other combination of complex phenomena.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of the Chinese Characters Tun Chinese characters are records of a distant past. In stead of being hidden under the rubbish heaps of ruined palaces, like the Cuneiform Inscriptions, they have, millen nium after millennium, been passing in open day through the hands of scribes. Subject to the caprices of each genera tion of writers, they now present themselves to us in a vast variety of successive forms. Through these forms, if the inquisitive eye of science trace correctly the process of change, we may acquire a knowledge of the origin of Chinese writing, and the method pursued by the inventors.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of China and Chinese Homes Chinese Characteristics. Dr. Smith was for twenty-two years connected with the American Board of Foreign Missions in China. He says: The circumstance that a person has lived twenty-two years in China is no more a guarantee that he is competent to write of the charac teristics of the Chinese than the fact that another man has lived for twenty-two years in a silver mine is proof that he is a fit person to compose a treatise on metal lurgy or bi-metalism. This is unquestionably too modest, as will be realized by any one who has read his remarkable analysis of Chinese character, yet it may stand as a warning to those who generalize about the Chinese on slight acquaintance. Whatever conclusions I have come to, superficial as they may be, are curiously borne out by the testimony of others who have spent as many years in the Empire as I have days, and have travelled as many thousand miles in the country as I have single miles. Most of this material appeared first in a series of ar ticles in the American Architect under the title of Journal Sketches in China, and to the publishers of that journal, and to its editor, Mr. William Rotch Ware, I am indebted for the privilege of publishing them in book-form. A number of sketches have been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Synoptical Studies in Chinese Character What little there was in native works of practical value to foreign students has been embodied in the present collection, and for the rest, it can hardly be expected that every comparison drawn will meet with general approval. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that all the characters in any group are not necessarily to be compared one with another, though an ele ment of sameness will be found always to pervade each group and frequently a whole series of such which have been placed intentionally in juxtaposition. Further, although this volume begins from the beginning and leaves the student on the threshold of written Chinese, yet a thorough analytical knowledge of all the characters here given will make future classification a compa ratively easy matter - and the bitterness of Chinese is past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses Into Chinese Homes ET us look into the homes of China, and thus shall we learn of the hearts of its people, for the home is the mirror of the heart. The passions, tastes and imaginations of the soul are all portrayed in the abiding-place of the body. Chinese character, politics, religions and social customs, are all shown in its domes tic relations. And, indeed, is not the home, anywhere, an epitome of national life, its institutions and sentiments Inasmuch as we understand the determinate quantity of family life, insomuch do we know the trend of national existence. Rome, in the zenith of her power, governed but one hundred and twenty millions of men. The boy Emperor of China sways his sceptre over three times that number. What roofs cover these hearts? Under what conditions are they abiding? Hundreds of thousands are born, live, and die on boats. By far the greatest portion of this class of people is found in the southern part of the Empire. The waters about Can ton are the most densely populated; yet this style of living prevails, to some extent, in all latitudes of the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Things Chinese: Being Notes on Various Subjects Connected With China Nearly forty years spent in China have given the author many opportunities of observing and studying the Chinese in almost every aspect of their life and character, and, while indebted to other writers as well, he has largely availed himself of these personal observations and experiences in the production of this book. The first appearance of Mr Basil Hall Chamberlain's 'things Japanese' gave rise to the idea of 'things Chinese, ' until now, in the words of that author in the Preface to his Fourth Edition of 'things Japanese' (for edition after edition of it and 'things Chinese' have been issued nearly parz' passu), 'in the un likely event of anyone instituting a minute comparison between this edition and its predecessor, he would find minor alterations innumerable - here a line erased, there a paragraph added, or again a figure changed, a statement qualified, a description or a list brought up to date, even a score (or two or more) of completely new articles inserted. But take it altogether, the book remains the same as heretofore.' So the same may be said of this Fourth Edition of 'things Chinese.' A word here, a line there, now a clause, then a term struck out, a phrase deleted, or sentence altered - all have had their share in making it necessary to put the word 'revised' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is, however, wiser and safer to study each individual as thoroughly as circumstances will permit, and then to strike a balance between good and evil traits of char acter, accepting the result as a basis for judgment and action, so far as he is concerned. The same rule may be broadened with safety, and applied to nations or races. If, in such use, it serves no other purpose, it will, at least, act as a corrective to ignorant prejudice, and to that most common fault, prejudgment.
