Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Ladies at Home Nanking Road is the fashionable drive, and in the late afternoon it is thronged with people, both Chinese and foreign, showing-oh themselves and their carriages. Carriage attendants are called, Mafoo, and no matter how many there may be the coachman is No. I. Mafoo; these creatures are the most ludicrous to be seen in Shanghai. Picture, and keep from smiling if you can, a lady dressed in the latest Parisian fashion driving in a stylish dog cart with her Mafoo (footman) standing behind, dressed in a dirty white night shirt looking garment upon which lies his long black queue like a spinal column, and on his head a light brown Fedora.' This is not an exaggeration. I saw it. The Mafoo are miserable looking beings in a laughable uniform, but in a fine one they look worse, for then the dirt and general unattractiveness of the wearer is accentuated. The really correct dress for a Mafoo could not be told, for fancy seemed to run riot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Life of Chinese Women Round the door still stood the band of young girl ushers, who at all our meetings had been such a feature in the Conference, looking so tall and strong with the glow of youth and health upon their faces. But within a fortnight quite suddenly there sounded forth another benediction Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord; even so saith the Spirit; for they rest from their labours, and one of our young King's Daughters had gone forth alone to meet her King. So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Typical Women of China written by A. C. Safford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typical Women of China: Abridged From the Chinese Work "Records of Virtuous Women of Ancient and Modern Times" Whilst the anecdotes and reflections must often seem very insipid to our Western tastes, they take us into the homes of women of all ranks, and reveal much there that is curious and interesting. The translation doubtless has many defects. It makes no pretensions to being the work of a critical scholar. It is an honest effort to convey the real meaning of the original, translating rather in accordance with the sense than precisely in harmony with the letter, and often paraphrasing the sentences and taking some license in expanding the sententious brevity of the Wen - li, in order to bring out the meaning more fully.

Download or read book Instruction for Chinese Women and Girls Classic Reprint written by Lady Tsao and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instruction for Chinese Women and Girls How little is known, save by a very few, of her reverence for parents, age, letters, and law; of her teachers, schools, colleges, literary Chancellors and degrees; and that it is true in that great empire that the humblest may rise to be second only to the emperor if he has the ability. A literary aristocracy leads all others; indeed, leaves no place for any other, and it is far more to have a literary degree than to be a millionaire. Twice six hundred years has China's famed Hanlin Academy existed and been the Mecca ofher aspiring scholars. Of what other countries can we find reliable dynastic histories of thousands of years, books on morals and etiquette, visiting cards, en velopes, tinted and decorated note paper, the very tint of the paper conveying sen timents of regard, and these not modern luxuries, but ancient, and in common use when our ancestors were such gross bar barians as no record proves the Chinese to have ever been? The better I know this wonderful people, and the more I study their history, the greater my aston ishment that such a Civilization can exist parallel with such degradation and super stition of the masses. This is doubtless due to the exception ally wise and good men they have had as teachers, notably Confucius and Mencius, whose instructions concerning all the re lations of man to man are known and quoted from the highest down to the poorest Classes.

Download or read book Exemplary Women of Early China written by Anne Behnke Kinney and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When should a woman disobey her father, contradict her husband, or shape the policy of a ruler? According to the Lienü zhuan, or Categorized Biographies of Women, it is not only appropriate but necessary for women to offer counsel when fathers, husbands, sons, and rulers stray from virtue. The earliest Chinese text devoted to the moral education of women, the Lienü zhuan was compiled by Liu Xiang (79–8 B.C.E.) at the end of the Han dynasty (202 B.C.E.–9 C.E.) and recounts the deeds of both virtuous and wicked women. Informed by early legends, fictionalized historical accounts, and formal speeches on statecraft, the text taught generations of Chinese women to cultivate filial piety and maternal kindness and undertake such practices as suicide and self-mutilation to preserve chastity and reform wayward men. The Lienü zhuan’s stories inspired artists for a millennium and found their way into local and dynastic histories. An innovative work for its time, the text remains a critical tool for mapping women’s social, political, and domestic roles at a formative time in China’s development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of Women in China Of all the remarkable changes which have taken place in China within the last decade, none is more significant than the change of attitude toward the education of women. Active interest and even enthusi asm have taken the place of the indifference or disapproval of the past centuries. China is coming to recognize that if she is to be gen uinely strong, in the new era of her history upon which she is entering, her women must be given such education as will purify and elevate national life at its very source, the home. The character of the great new China' will be determined in no small measure by the women Of the nation, and what these women will be depends very largely upon whether they receive education, and upon the type of that education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From China: With Particular Reference to the Empress Dowager and the Women of China Her Imperial Majesty's forty-seven years' reign proved the heart and mind quality which made a strong character, such as history has seldom recorded. The Empress Dowager of China was a great woman, and China's great men recognized and acknowledged this fact. The many conversations awarded me with Her Majesty revealed much of the concealed force and value of China's women. Ignorance of J these qualities has brought a pronounced misrepresentation of China's womanhood.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese Boy and Girl NO thorough study of Chinese child life can be made until the wall of Chinese exclusiveness is broken down and the homes of the East are thrown open to the people of the West. Glimpses of that life however, are available, suffi cient in number and character to give a fairly good idea of what it must be. The playground is by no means always hidden, least of all when it is the street. The Chinese nurse brings her Chinese rhymes, stories and games into the foreigner's home for the amusement of its little ones. Chinese kindergarten methods and appliances have no superior in their ingenuity and their ability to interest, as well as instruct. In the matter of travelling shows and jugglers also, no country is better supplied, and these are chiefly for the entertainment of the little ones.
