Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Village and Town Life in China Many books have been written about China by Europeans. The present volume is a book about China by two Chinese. They are, moreover, Chinese who have had considerable opportunities of studying other forms of civilization than their own, having lived in England as students for some years. Mr. Tao obtained the b.sc. Degree in Economics at the University of London in 1913, and is now lecturing on Sociology in the University of Pekin. Mr. Leong took the same degree in 1914, and is still a student in the Sociological Department at the London School of Economics. Both have interested themselves especially in social philosophy and the comparative study of institutions, so that if they justly regard their own institutions with the feelings of patriotic Chinese, they are able equally to see them in relation to the customs of other peoples, and to review their merits and defects with a certain detachment. No doubt their point of View is not always that of the English reader. But, on the other hand, the point of view of Europeans who write on China is not that of Chinese, and for the full understanding of a great Empire, which.

In it an attempt is made to describe many of their singular custom and opinions relating to almost all subjects of interest, and also to give their own explanation of the origin or the rationale of some of them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gleanings From Fifty Years in China It was while engaged in his earlier trips on the Upper Yangtse that Mr. Little collected material for the inter esting book (published in 1888) entitled Through the Yangtse Gorges, which established his reputation as a graphic and sympathetic writer on China. This was followed some years later (1901) by Mount Omi and Beyond, which introduced us to the little-known region of Szechuan on the Thibetan Border and to a phase of Chinese life, untouched as yet by foreign intercourse, which his linguistic acquirements and experience enabled him to depict with the perception and sense of humour that had delighted his readers in the previous work.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of the Chinese People Of the condition called civilization there may be endless varieties. Whatever raises a set of human beings above the life of the birds and beasts is a degree of civilization. From the savage life there are many degrees before we arrive at the highest form of Christian life. And these degrees may not inconceivably differ from each other. Manners, customs, government, literature, religion, are all involved in civiliza tion. These forms may differ in different countries. Minds of a parochial type can perceive only one sort Of civilization -that of their own parish. One such mind whose civilization consists mainly in military order calls another a barbarian becauses it refuses to be ridden by him the other calls the military type barbarian because he seeks to ride on him. Both are civilized, but the civilization of each is incomplete. The civilization of even the foremost nations Of the west has not yet attained the ideal. It is not difficult to imagine a world, every man and woman in which shall be the equal of the best who has ever appeared, and possess talents as notable as the greatest of the past. It is conceivable that the world shall rise to a civilization as superior to the present as the present at its best is above the Middle Ages. Though the Chinese are denied the possession of a civiliza tion on the same plane as that of the west, yet their form of civilization, manifested in their social institutions, is worthy of serious attention. An acquaintance with that civilization is all the more desirable when we consider that China has entered on a new phase of life which cannot fail to exert a profound influence on the future of humanity. If her civiliza tion differs little from that of her neighbours, it is because neighbours have imperfectly borrowed hers, who has borrowed from no one. This independence adds a further element of interest to the study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Chinese Life It is fitting that these chapters on Chinese life' should take the form ofa memorial volume to Mr. Grainger, for he was a man of methodical life and studious habits. During his first term of service when his mental powers were seemingly at their best, he laboured steadily on his western mandarin These studies prepared his mind for a companion volume. Which he hoped to de51gnate western customs (wfi Eff-13) For various reasons this volume never matured, but the chapters embodied in this book, and herewith given to the public, are the outcome of this early inspiration; and though, like the years of his life, they are incomplete, they represent the assiduous research of many years, and much painstaking labour to have them compiled and presented in their present form. The chapter on foodstuffs alone is well worth the price of the whole volume, and will no doubt prove of great value to all who have to purvey for large establishments or attend to the more delicate cuisine duties of the home.

Do not nine out of ten, even among well-informed English gentlemen, consider the first named a place with which we have little in common though it be a British possession, or at all events of little momentous interest? And are they not of opinion that its contingent loss need not, to any material extent, affect our national prosperity? Yet Hong Kong, apart from its military and naval value as our most advanced outpost in the far East, and from its commercial interest represented by an annual average British exchange of about forty-two millions sterling, is marked by characteristic advantages unparalleled in any single one of our other possessions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Life in the Tibetan Foothills These studies were never intended for public consumption, but for personal benefit and enlightenment and it was only at the request of several friends, coupled with the fear of permanent loss owing to the disturbed state of the country, that I was induced to submit them for publication. The object of the studies was to obtain the Chinese view point concerning the many mysterious customs and practices which perplexed me in daily inter course with this people. In order to attain this end two things have had to be rigorously guarded against - first, an adverse spirit of criticism, which closes up every avenue of information and second, the danger of being content when only personal curiosity is satisfied instead of trying to see things as the Chinese see them. It should be stated that no foreign text books have been studied questions of a scientific, ethnological and compara tive nature have been set aside in order to present the local view of the subject in hand. The writer does not claim to have fully attained his end or to have exhausted the inf orma tion obtainable on any given subject while variations may be found in almost every county II] the province, to say nothing of the whole of China. The little city of Kwan Hsien, which lies 40 miles to the north-west of Chengtu in the province of Szechuan, is the hub of The Tibetan Foothills. It was from this centre, so richly endowed with natural beauty, so famous for its ancient yet efficient irrigation system, so crowded with a teeming cosmopolitan population, that these pages were gradually compiled. The whole of the subject matter contained in this volume has passed through the pages of the New China Review, under the editorship of Mr. Samuel Gouling to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude for editing the ms.
