These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Changing China: Look inside the book: The task of welding East and West into one whole is in practice proving difficult, and at present failure is very often the result; but with Japan as a successful example, and with the threat of national extinction and foreign domination before them, the Chinese can never give up the effort; and whatever the exact result may be, I think one may assert {15} without rashness that not only will it fundamentally alter the whole of China, but through China affect the whole world. ...Those who disbelieve in the courage of the Chinese say the Chinese never had any courage except of a passive order; that they would endure suffering against any race on earth, and that their whole history tells that tale; that they have been subject in turn to the Mongols, the Kins, and the Manchus; and that the period of the Ming dynasty when they were free, was only because the Mongols had reduced every nation within many thousands of miles to subjection, and then they themselves had fallen a prey, not to the Chinese arms directly, but to the enervating and destructive effects of Chinese civilisation which rendered them absolutely unable to fight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of China The eyes of the world are more and more turned toward China. We are coming to be profoundly interested in the fate of that greatest of Asiatic peoples. And it is well that we are. No other existing nation can look back over as long a past of continuous development as can China. When the foundations of Greece and Rome were being laid and when the great Hebrew prophets were in the midst of their ministry, a nation was being shaped and a civilization formed which have come down through the centuries with a comparatively unbroken history. There have been changes, but none of them as violent as those which have shaken the West during the same period. Only two other cultural groups - that in India and that in the Mediterranean Basin - have had as dominant an influence over as large a section of mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chance Change in China As we stepped on shore at Hongkong, behold the streets were gay with many coloured flags in honour of the birth Of the People's Kingdom. Ahigh Official in the Imperial service, hurrying With all speed to Peking, laughed sceptically at the mere suggestion. Who is this Sun Yat Sen he said, many in the north have not even heard his name. Our Imperial friend, however, preferred not to go on shore at Hongkong. He stayed in seclusion on board the steamer and took the precaution to have his queue removed before our arrival in Shanghai. Hongkong was certainly a little premature in its rejoicings, but during those first momentous days of the Chinese Republic some confusion arose in regard to dates. I remember no fewer than three New Year's days, one according to the Western calendar, one by order of the Nanking Government on January 1sth, and one on the Old Chinese date at the beginning Of February. In Shanghai the new era showed itself in many ways. Rents of houses, of every kind of lodging, rose by leaps and bounds, for all the world had brought his wife and his Wealth to dwell in the safety of foreign Concessions until the storm had blown past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of New China The substance of the following pages was given to the students of the Theological School of Boston University in a series of addresses in November, 1904. The students and others ex pressed a desire to have them in more permanent and fuller form than their notes. They were not delivered from manuscript. The task of te writing has been a slow one, not only, nor, perhaps, chiefly because of lack of time from the life of a busy missionary, but because the changes in China have been so rapid and sweeping during the last three years that any utterance except prophecy is almost sure to be out of date by the time it reaches the American public, unless it is telegraphed and published in a daily newspaper. So that there is no intention to make this little volume a vehicle of news. The periodical and daily press must be relied upon for that. There is, however, an at tempt to discuss the trend of events, and to indi cate the direction of the Eastern breezes by a few straws here and there.

Download or read book Changing China written by William Rupert Ernest Gascoyne-Cecil and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Changing China Our interest in China was first aroused by a letter from an old school-fellow, Arthur Polhill, who, with heroic self-denial, has spent the best part of his life in China as a missionary. Subsequently I joined the China Emergency Committee, who in 1907 invited us to go out to the Shanghai Centenary Conference. That visit led naturally to a tour in China, Korea, and Japan. When we returned we found that great interest was being felt at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge in the movement in the Far East; a Committee was formed to study the whole question, which accepted provisionally the idea of encouraging the foundation of a Western University. Before finally accepting the idea it was felt that some one ought to go to the mission centres of China and find out the opinions of the missionaries working on the field, and at the same time sound the Chinese Government and see whether it would be favourable to the scheme. As a result of these deliberations, the Committee asked us in 1909 to go out again, this time on behalf of the United Universities Scheme. On our return it was suggested that if we put our report into the form of a book it might possibly excite interest in the whole question, especially in the University scheme. We were deeply impressed with two great facts - the greatness of the need of Western education from a Christian standpoint and the vital importance of immodiate action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China Revolutionized All these questions presented themselves when the re formers startled the world with the announcement that there was to be a republic in China. Lit was to be a republic - not a monarchy said even those Chinese who had been educated in Japan, where lately a Japanese editor educated in America and ten pthers had been tried and executed in secret, the papers sealed, and the press censored. They wanted pitiless publicity in the new republican China. Had there been no abatement of the Opium habit through Amer ica's leadership Of sentiment, and Britain's sacrifice of rev enue from 1909 to 1911, there could have been no rebellion in 1911. The reform cleared the befogged heads of the nation, added a million men to agitation, and furnished a hundred million dollars directly and indirectly toward the independence Of the agitators. How great a stone America and Britain set rolling in that Opium Conference of 1909 at Shanghai! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Awakening of China My own conviction is clear that the United States will dominate the civilization of this great nation, not only on account of her geographical position, her resources, and her energy; but also because the Chinese themselves in breaking away from an ancient civilization can readily be led to accept a western, Christian, Protestant civilization. One can better understand why the Chinese are turning to western civilization by considering China's deep and crying needs.

Download or read book The Power of Print in Modern China written by Robert Culp and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid early twentieth-century China’s epochal shifts, a vital and prolific commercial publishing industry emerged. Recruiting late Qing literati, foreign-trained academics, and recent graduates of the modernized school system to work as authors and editors, publishers produced textbooks, reference books, book series, and reprints of classical texts in large quantities at a significant profit. Work for major publishers provided a living to many Chinese intellectuals and offered them a platform to transform Chinese cultural life. In The Power of Print in Modern China, Robert Culp explores the world of commercial publishing to offer a new perspective on modern China’s cultural transformations. Culp examines China’s largest and most influential publishing companies—Commercial Press, Zhonghua Book Company, and World Book Company—during the late Qing and Republican periods and into the early years of the People’s Republic. He reconstructs editors’ cultural activities and work lives as a lens onto the role of intellectuals in cultural change. Examining China’s distinct modes of industrial publishing, Culp explains the emergence of the modern Chinese intellectual through commercial and industrial processes rather than solely through political revolution and social movements. An original account of Chinese intellectual and cultural history as well as global book history, The Power of Print in Modern China illuminates the production of new forms of knowledge and culture in the twentieth century.
