Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Lessons for First Year Students in West China Chinese Teachers. - It is a good rule to regard one's teacher as the authority, in case he and the dictionary differ. But we should keep an open mind; for one's teacher should be changed at the end of the first year, and will probably be changed at longer or shorter in tervals afterwards; and we soon find that teachers differ, often radically, even those who have grown up in the same city. In course of time we shall be able to form a judgment for ourselves, comparing what our teacher or teachers give us with what one or more dictionaries say.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Lessons for First Year Students in West China The first business of the missionary on arrival in China is to "get the language". And most missions now allow the first two years for language study. We might better avoid that word "allow"; saying rather that a minimum of two years is required by most missions for language study, during which period no other responsibility is put upon the new worker. I believe that we shall soon come to the point when no new worker will be given more than partial responsibility during his third and perhaps his fourth years, so that he may have large freedom for perfecting himself in the language, and in methods and principles of work. In the acquisition of Chinese, the ability to speak and to hear comes first in importance; much farther down in the scale comes reading; and much lower still, the ability to write Chinese characters. All four processes should be carried on together, but far the most emphasis placed on the first two, and the least emphasis on the last, at any rate in the first year. It is clear that a word or a sentence which we are able to speak and to hear, will be easily picked up in the character. To reverse the process is like the study of the dead languages. The principle that I have had in mind in the preparation of these sentences is the supreme importance of the spoken language, as compared with the characters. I believe that we should first study words and sentences, not characters, and not even idioms. This is surely the natural order; for man learned to speak long ages before he ever thought of writing. Neither did he learn idioms first; he began to speak, and when he had learned to write his speech, he began to discover or to make order and unity, and to designate some of his peculiarities of speech as idioms. But what words and sentences shall we study? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "As a twenty-two-year-old exchange student at Nanjing University in 1981, John Pomfret was one of the first American students to be admitted to China after the Communist Revolution of 1949. Living in a cramped dorm room, Pomfret was exposed to a country few outsiders had ever experienced, one fresh from the twin tragedies of Mao's rule - the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution." "Twenty years after first leaving China, Pomfret returned to the university for a class reunion. Once again, he immersed himself in the lives of his classmates, especially the one woman and four men whose stories make up Chinese Lessons, an intimate and revealing portrait of the Chinese people." "Beginning with Pomfret's first day in China, Chinese Lessons takes us back to the often torturous paths that brought together the Nanjing University History Class of 1982. We learn that Old Wu's father was killed during the Cultural Revolution for the crime of being an intellectual; Book Idiot Zhou labored in the fields for years rather than agree to a Party-arranged marriage; Little Guan was forced to publicly denounce and humiliate her father." "As we follow Pomfret's classmates from childhood to university and on to adulthood, we see the effect that the country's transition from near-feudal communism to First World capitalism has had on his classmates. This riveting portrait of the Chinese people will not only change your understanding of China but also challenge your perception of the way fate can shape the course of nations as surely as it has the extraordinary lives of these five classmates."--BOOK JACKET.

Of course, it is far from a perfect representation but it will be of service to the Chinese who are trying to learn English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Lessons in Chinese The student will see from what has been said already the great importance of mastering these radicals. He should aim at a thorough familiarity firstly with the form Of the radical, secondly with the unmoor of strokes that compose it, thirdly with its numerical place in the following list. Of course each of these Chinese radicals has a sound Of its own, but I have not attempted here to reproduce that sound in English letters, for I have found by experience that it is far easier to provide a sound to which a beginner studying without a teacher will attach a wrong pronunciation that he will have afterwards to try and forget, than to provide a sound which will give him even an approximately correct notion Of what the pronunciation should be. Moreover, any sound that can be given in English letters will at best only represent the sounds as pronounced in certain parts of China; an altogether different pronunciation may be given to the same character in the particular district to which the student is going. At first nothing better can be done than to call each Chinese character by the English sound which is attached to it in this book, and which in every case represents its general meaning. In giving now a list Of the radicals, it will be well to Offer a few suggestions as to the best way of learning them. They are given here in their regular order as they will be found in any dictionary, but with a view to lightening the labour of learning them, an asterisk has been attached to those which are in most frequent use. While I should advise the student not to rest satisfied till he is thoroughly familiar with all the radicals, and can not only recognize them when he meets with them, but can also write them from memory, I should also advise him at the outset to pay special attention to the form, and number in the series, of those radicals which are marked with an asterisk. By far the larger number Of Chinese characters will be found under one or other of these: at the same time, if a student is not thoroughly familiar with the form even Of radicals that are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of the Chinese Language: Parts I and II, Grammar and Chrestomathy, Prepared With and View to Initiate the Student of Chinese in the Rudiments of This Language, and to Supply Materials for His Early Studies The intention of the author in preparing this work for the press was to make a text-book for students of the Chinese language who attend his lectures at King's College, London, and to assist others who might commence the study of the language in this country, as well as to aid those who enter for the first time upon this study in China itself. In order to Show the need of some such book, it will be necessary fairly to pass in review the various works which are within reach of, or which may be supposed to exist for the student, - to point out candidly what appear to be their defects, and also to note their real value as aids to the study of Chinese. The investigation of Chinese in this country, and even in Europe generally, is but of recent date. The vague expressions collected from the works of the Jesuits on the subject, though correct for the most part in themselves, needed a Jesuit to explain them and to guard the wayward fancy from misinterpret ing them. The. Best rules and the deepest truths are often misunderstood because there is no teacher at hand to purge the idola from the mind and clear it of its earlier prejudices. The colouring of every thing that concerns the Chinese has been heightened by the romantic accounts of this nation given by the early historians of the East, and the imagination has supplied much that was not found in the reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From about 1600 to 1800, the Qing empire of China expanded to unprecedented size. Through astute diplomacy, economic investment, and a series of ambitious military campaigns into the heart of Central Eurasia, the Manchu rulers defeated the Zunghar Mongols, and brought all of modern Xinjiang and Mongolia under their control, while gaining dominant influence in Tibet. The China we know is a product of these vast conquests. Peter C. Perdue chronicles this little-known story of China's expansion into the northwestern frontier. Unlike previous Chinese dynasties, the Qing achieved lasting domination over the eastern half of the Eurasian continent. Rulers used forcible repression when faced with resistance, but also aimed to win over subject peoples by peaceful means. They invested heavily in the economic and administrative development of the frontier, promoted trade networks, and adapted ceremonies to the distinct regional cultures. Perdue thus illuminates how China came to rule Central Eurasia and how it justifies that control, what holds the Chinese nation together, and how its relations with the Islamic world and Mongolia developed. He offers valuable comparisons to other colonial empires and discusses the legacy left by China's frontier expansion. The Beijing government today faces unrest on its frontiers from peoples who reject its autocratic rule. At the same time, China has launched an ambitious development program in its interior that in many ways echoes the old Qing policies. China Marches West is a tour de force that will fundamentally alter the way we understand Central Eurasia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century, Chinese traditional architecture and the French-derived methods of the École des Beaux-Arts converged in the United States when Chinese students were given scholarships to train as architects at American universities whose design curricula were dominated by Beaux-Arts methods. Upon their return home in the 1920s and 1930s, these graduates began to practice architecture and create China’s first architectural schools, often transferring a version of what they had learned in the U.S. to Chinese situations. The resulting complex series of design-related transplantations had major implications for China between 1911 and 1949, as it simultaneously underwent cataclysmic social, economic, and political changes. After 1949 and the founding of the People’s Republic, China experienced a radically different wave of influence from the Beaux-Arts through advisors from the Soviet Union who, first under Stalin and later Khrushchev, brought Beaux-Arts ideals in the guise of socialist progress. In the early twenty-first century, China is still feeling the effects of these events. Chinese Architecture and the Beaux-Arts examines the coalescing of the two major architectural systems, placing significant shifts in architectural theory and practice in China within relevant, contemporary, cultural, and educational contexts. Fifteen major scholars from around the world analyze and synthesize these crucial events to shed light on the dramatic architectural and urban changes occurring in China today—many of which have global ramifications. This stimulating and generously illustrated work is divided into three sections, framed by an introduction and a postscript. The first focuses on the convergence of Chinese architecture and the École des Beaux-Arts, outlining the salient aspects of each and suggesting how and why the two "met" in the U.S. The second section centers on the question of how Chinese architects were influenced by the Beaux-Arts and how Chinese architecture was changed as a result. The third takes an even closer look at the Beaux-Arts influence, addressing how innovative practices, new schools of architecture, and buildings whose designs were linked to Beaux-Arts assumptions led to distinctive new paradigms that were rooted in a changing China. By virtue of its scope, scale, and scholarship, this volume promises to become a classic in the fields of Chinese and Western architectural history. Contributors: Tony Atkin, Peter J.
