Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China, Japan and Korea Remembering the ancestry and genesis of Young personally acquainted with many of its leading spirits, having followed its operations and activities in every province from the beginning of the present revolution, I am compelled to the conviction that salva tion from this quarter is impossible, not only because Young China itself is unregenerate and undisciplined, but because its ideals and projects of government involve the creation of a new social and political structure utterly unsuited to the character and traditions of the race; because it is contrary to all experience that a people out Ofi from its deeprooted beliefs and habits Of life Should develop and retain a vigorous national consciousness. Another passage summarised the actual position created by the collapse of the Manchu Government's authority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americans in Eastern Asia: A Critical Study of the Policy of the United States With Reference to China, Japan and Korea in the 19th Century In the 19th Century the issue in American policy in was not the open door. That was never a question. Real issue was whether the United States should follow an isolated a cooperative policy to make sure of the open door. Isolated policy was essentially belligerent? It inevitably led to a pitting of the United States against not one but all of the powers and against the Asiatic states as well. It was the isolation of 1897 following the wreck of the cooperative policy which forced the United States to retain the Philippines, just as the distrust of British an French designs in the fifties had led to the attempt loyal but misguided Americans to seek the appropri the United States of Formosa. As a matter of American flag did fly over the principal port of the island for a year. Likewise today a wreck of the newly established cooperative policy would in the end lead to belligerency, and very likely to still further acquisitions of territory by the United States. Those who scoff at such a speculation will do well to study the past records. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Asia at the Crossroads: Japan; Korea; China; Philippine Islands Most writers on Far Eastern politics make the mis take of crediting their readers with a profounder knowledge of the subject than they in fact possess. They take too much for granted. They talk in terms of algebra instead of arithmetic. On the assumption that those who read their books already understand the meaning of such phrases as spheres of influence, extraterritoriality, the Shogunate, the Genro, the tuchzms, the Anfu Club, the Consortium, the Gentle men's Agreement, the Twenty-one Demands, they make repeated use of them without pausing long enough to explain precisely what they mean. As a result, the casual reader, who usually has only a vague idea of the sub J ect to start with, either becomes bewildered and gives up in despair, frankly admitting that he does not understand what it is all about, or he forms conclusions which, being based on miscon ceptions, do not agree with the facts.

Download or read book Across the Perilous Sea written by Charlotte von Verschuer and published by Cornell East Asia Series. This book was released on 2006 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published as Le commerce extérieur du Japon des origines au XVIe siécle in 1988, this new edition of the landmark French study chronicles Japan's transformation from an importer of continental luxury items, raw materials, and techniques to an exporter of high-quality merchandise over nearly a millennium. The vicissitudes of foreign trade policy, as well as the volume and balance of trade, are examined within the context of regional political and economic developments. All aspects of state-sanctioned and unofficial external commerce are considered. Indeed, this volume reveals that proliferation of private foreign trade constituted a vital link between Japan and its neighbors throughout the suspension of diplomatic relations from the ninth to the fourteenth century. Evidence culled from Japanese, Chinese, and Korean annals and administrative compendia, archaeological excavations, classic literature, artifact collections, and monk and courtier diaries attests to the spectacular diversity of foreign trade goods and their significance in pre-Tokugawa Japanese society. Methodically revised, and featuring an updated, expanded bibliography and redesigned maps, as well as a précis on the state of the field since the original publication, the 2006 English edition is an indispensable resource for scholars and the teaching of premodern East Asian regional history.
Download or read book Three Tigers One Mountain written by Michael Booth and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Almost Nearly Perfect People, a lively tour through Japan, Korea, and China, exploring the intertwined cultures and often fraught history of these neighboring countries. There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states, “Two tigers cannot share the same mountain.” However, in East Asia, there are three tigers on that mountain: China, Japan, and Korea, and they have a long history of turmoil and tension with each other. In his latest entertaining and thought provoking narrative travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep, really, is the enmity between these three “tiger” nations, and what prevents them from making peace. Currently China’s economic power continues to grow, Japan is becoming more militaristic, and Korea struggles to reconcile its westernized south with the dictatorial Communist north. Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train, and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close. No matter where he goes, the burden of history, and the memory of past atrocities, continues to overshadow present relationships. Ultimately, Booth seeks a way forward for these closely intertwined, neighboring nations. An enlightening, entertaining and sometimes sobering journey through China, Japan, and Korea, Three Tigers, One Mountain is an intimate and in-depth look at some of the world’s most powerful and important countries.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Chinese and Japanese Illustrated Books Exhibited in the King's Library We have no record as to the date when metal type was first used in China, but we find Korean books printed as early as 1317, with movable clay or wooden type, and just a century later, we have a record of a fount of metal type having been cast to print an Epitome of the Eighteen Historical Records of China. As both processes came to Korea from China it is only reasonable to suppose that metal type was used in China a century or more before its adoption in Korea. Considerable doubt exists as to the time when movable type was first introduced into Japan but it is at least certain that after the first invasmn of Korea by the armies of Hideyoshi, in the end of the l6th century, a large quantity of Korean movable type books were brought back by one of his generals.
