Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Folk-Lore Tradition holds that Tung Fung continued to live for hundreds of years, healing the sick and relieving the wants of mankind, until, having been refined and purified by endless good deeds, he was at last deemed fit to enter the Western Heaven, where, on a larger and more extended scale, he could devote his energies to the assistance of men through out the wide world. Another distinguished man who lived during the Han dynasty (bc. 206 to ad. 23) was also a man who had an intimate knowledge of diseases. His name was Tsu Tan and his image is also set up in the druggists' shops, and his treatise on medicine and his prescriptions for all manner of diseases are sedulously studied and carried out by the doctors of the present day. So famed was this man that his books were printed in japan, and for many centuries the doctors there were guided by them; and it is only latterly, since the introduction of Western medical science, that these have begun to fall into disuse.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Folklore: Pekinese Rhymes Somebody will object to my statement that sparkles of true poetry are to be found in this book. That will very naturally happen to all those who are entirely foreign to the chinese world. Several rhymes (however few in pro portion to the bulk ofthe book) are simple and touching and may be poetry for those who have even a slight knowledge of chinese joys and sorrows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gleanings From Chinese Folklore Miss Russell was large in her plans as well as in her feelings. The past could not chain her, the present could not bind her. A Bible school for women rose in her future, and after it became a fact, and others were doing most of the routine work, she passed on to work into a reality dreams of a school for women of the higher classes, with lecture courses, mothers' clubs, and training for social service, a work which for many years to come cannot reach the proportions of her vision. There could be no more fitting memorial for Miss Russell than buildings which would help to make her dreams come true. If Mark Hopkins, one student, and a log made a college, Miss Russell, a Chinese woman, and a tiny Chinese room made a Social Settlement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Folk-Lore of China The following compilation consists of a series of Articles contributed to the China Review, and now republished with a few additions and corrections. Of their many defects no one is more sensible than the author, who has moreover necessarily been debarred from access to numerous authorities which a residence at home would have placed within his reach. It is nevertheless hoped that this slight contribution to a better knowledge of Chinese popular beliefs, arranged as it is in a more compendious form than was hitherto accessible, will find some favour. The author desires to express his obligations to the Rev. J. Chalmers, M. A., and to Mr. Christopher T. Gardner, of H. M. Consular Service, Canton, who very kindly placed valuable manuscript notes at his disposal. Most of his numerous obligations to previous publications are acknowledged in the foot-notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Ditties Since (about the beginning of the nineteenth century) the folk-lore and folk-songs of various lands. Have been seriously investigated, and folk-lore has become a science, a vast field of information has been disclosed, the full mean ing of which is; only now beginning to be generally appreciat ed. Thinkers now see, what. The earlier collectors perceived dimly if at all, that these tales and songs possess a very great value for the elucidation of the social history of man kind. T'hey furnish pictures of the past not otherwise to be seen. They help to keep alive customs and 1beliefs which, but for embodiment. In them, would have died out and' so have failed to record their testimony in the sociologist's note-hook. They prove the substantial uniformity of the working of the human mind under the same physical conditions all over the earth. The fundamental bases of popular thoughts and beliefs are everywhere the same. The particular development is the work of each particular lace. The particular branch of folk-lore found in China has been partially investigated by some able scholars, but the field is so vast as to be practically inexhaustible. Any small contribution to this gigantic work is therefore heartily to be welcomed. Recently, the excellent idea occurred to the editor of the official gazette of the Government University at Peking to ask the scholars to send to him the pepiular ditties current in their respective provinces or districts. Since these scholars hail from all parts of China a large and valuable collection was thus obtained. In the belief that they may be instruct ing and interesting to readers of the New China Review I propose to translate a portion of them, giving the Chinese text, and some notes where elucidation seems necessary. As a recreation from more laborious work it is pleasant to dip into the lighter kinds of Chinese literature, and if knowledge is to be gained at the same time the pleasure is doubly enhanced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China in Legend and Story A residence of ten years in that part of China gives the writer some reason to hope that the local colour of the narratives is fairly accurate. The scenery of the country shares in that power of fascination possessed by its people and its literature. Strange at first, it steeps itself into the mind, and deepens the original impression at every contact with the eye - the southern mountains with scattered verdure clinging to their harsh Sides the rice plains Nile-green, or brown and breathing musty ripeness, according to the season; the grey walls, bridges, and pagodas of Chinchew; the farm upon the mountains where the idols met their fate; the red brick village of Tan-tay; and the room in which the 'strong Runner' finished his last lap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Fables and Folk Stories IT requires much study of the Oriental mind to catch even brief glimpses of the secret of its mysterious charm. An open mind and the wisdom of great sympathy are conditions essential to making it at all possible. Contemplative, gentle, and metaphysical in their habit of thought, the Chinese have reflected profoundly and worked out many riddles of the universe in ways peculiarly their own. Realization of the value and need to us of a more definite knowledge of the mental processes of our Oriental brothers, increases wonder fully as one begins to comprehend the richness, depth, and beauty of their thought, ripened as it is by the hidden processes of evolution throughout the ages.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traveller Tales of China or the Story-Telling Hongs In this volume I have aimed, after the manner of the "Zigzag Stories," to give a view of the social life of Russian China and China; to make an instructive book, which should picture the new way around the world by the Siberian railway, and the new ports of the East in Manchuria and on the Yellow Sea. This is the second volume of the new series of "Traveller Tales," written after the manner of the "Zigzag" series, which sought to illustrate the manners and customs of nations by folk-lore tales and travellers' narratives, in a progressive manner. Many of the interpolated stories in this volume are "Jakarta" legends, which means that they were parables imputed to Buddha, but which were written to make clear his teachings a century or more after his death. These tales are the folk-lore of Buddhism, and are well known in Buddhist countries, and illustrate the manners and customs of the people of the past and present. The book seeks to make clear to young people the new conditions, as well as the old traditions, of the Chinese people.

Book Synopsis Chinese Folk-lore Tales by : J Macgowan
Download or read book Chinese Folk-lore Tales written by J Macgowan and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-22 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day in the early dawn, a distinguished mandarin was leaving the temple of the City God. It was his duty to visit this temple on the first and fifteenth of the moon, whilst the city was still asleep, to offer incense and adoration to the stern-looking figure enshrined within. This mandarin was Shih-Kung, and a juster or more upright official did not exist in all the fair provinces of the Empire. Wherever his name was mentioned it was received with the profoundest reverence and respect; for the Chinese people have never lost their ideal of Tien-Li, or Divine Righteousness. This ideal is still deeply embedded in the hearts of high and low, rich and poor; and the homage of all classes, even of the most depraved is gladly offered to any man who conspicuously displays this heavenly virtue.
