Book excerpt: Travelers' Tales China is a must for any traveler to China, to anyone wanting to learn more about the Middle Kingdom, offering a breadth and depth of experience from both new and well-known authors, and helps make the China experience unforgettable and transforming. These pages take you through 6,000 years of history to modern-day socialist China, from the Silk Road to the high-tech center of Beijing. Explore the old as well as the new--from the tombs of dead emperors to the world's largest dam. Roam around one of China's 700 nature preserves in a country that boasts more wildlife than any other in the world. Wander the vastness of the Gobi Desert and skirt the darkness of history while exploring the assault on Nanking, and be shaken by observations of death during the upheavals of the Red Guard. Go riding with Ghengis Khan, explore the Forbidden City, and walk along sections of the Great Wall that are seldom visited. You can taste and smell the food as it is cooked in alleys and inns, reach down and touch relics older than most of Europe, and enjoy the sights and the sounds of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... HISTORICAL SKETCH President Yuan Shift K'ai ANDED down from generation to generation in the form of legends, or written by chroniclers who had more desire to produce literary works of merit, than to make true records of past events, there is much that is obscure in the early history of China, and a great part of that which the Chinese historians have apparently made clear is disputed by more critical foreign students. Certainly a great deal of it is so entwined with the mythical and fantastic legends of a primitive people, that it is difficult to distinguish the true from the fanciful. For the purposes of this sketch, we need not concern ourselves with the disputed facts but will briefly consider the main points of the long story, as taught and believed by the Chinese themselves. The Chinese are not the original inhabitants of the country which they now occupy, but migrated from Western Asia about 2700 B. C, and settled near the present city of Siau-fu, ou the Yellow river in Shensi. As the newcomers grew in number, their settlements extended, following the courses of the rivers into the present provinces of Szechuan, and Kiaugsi. The original inhabitants were displaced by the Chinese and formed new settlements in various parts of the country, apart from the newcomers. These aboriginal tribes still exist in the Lolos, Shans and Miaotzes, living in Szechuan, Kweichow, Yunnan, Kwantung, and Kwangsi and on the islands of Formosa and Hainan. In the more than 4000 years they have been associated with the Chinese, they have lived apart, have resented all intrusions by the .Chinese and there has been no mixture of blood. The historical period of the Chinese begins with the reign of the three emperors, who in a remarkably short space of time...

Download or read book Inscribed Landscapes written by and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alongside the scores of travel books about China written by foreign visitors, Chinese travelers' impressions of their own country rarely appear in translation. This anthology is the only comprehensive collection in English of Chinese travel writing from the first century A.D. through the nineteenth. Early examples of the genre describe sites important for their geography, history, and role in cultural mythology, but by the T'ang dynasty in the mid-eighth century certain historiographical and poetic discourses converged to form the "travel account" (yu-chi) and later the "travel diary" (jih-chi) as vehicles of personal expression and autobiography. These first-person narratives provide rich material for understanding the attitudes of Chinese literati toward place, nature, politics, and the self. The anthology is abundantly illustrated with paintings, portraits, maps, and drawings. Each selection is meticulously translated, carefully annotated, and prefaced by a brief description of the writer's life and work. The entire collection is introduced by an in-depth survey of the rise of Chinese travel writing as a cultural phenomenon. Inscribed Landscapes provides a unique resource for travelers as well as for scholars of Chinese literature, art, and history.
