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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese Fairy Book Tales of Saints and Magicians, Nature and Ani mal Tales, Ghost Stories, Historic Fairy Tales, and Literary Fairy Tales, probably represent the most comprehensive and varied collection of oriental fairy tales ever made available for American readers. There is no child who will not enjoy their novel color, their fantastic beauty, their infinite variety of subject. Yet, like the Arabian Nights, they will amply repay the attention of the older reader as well. Some are exquisitely poetic, such as The flower-elves, The Lady of the Moon or The Herd Boy and the Weav ing Maiden others like How Three Heroes Came By Their Deaths Because Of Two Peaches, carry us back dramatically and powerfully to the Chinese age of Chivalry. The summits of fantasy are scaled in the quasi-religious dramas of The Ape Sun Wu Kung and Notcha, or the wierd sorceries unfolded in The Kindly Magician. Delightful ghost stories, with happy endings, such as A Night on the Battlefield and The Ghost Who Was Foiled, are paralleled.
