Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Knowledge Possessed by the Ancient Chinese: Of the Arabs and Arabian Colonies, and Other Western Countries, Mentioned in Chinese Books Among the numerous statements about foreign countries found in ancient Chinese works, those regarding the Arabs are the most satisfactory. This opinion, however, is not to be taken absolutely but only relatively, in regard to the time when these accounts were written down; for, in general, Chinese writings contain much that is illogical, contradictory, and absurd, which our sinologues are accustomed to pass over with indulgence. At the end of each of tho histories of the various Chinese dynasties, handed down successively since the second century B.C., are to be found accounts of foreign countries known by tho Chinese at those particular times. But the descriptions of them are often so vague and inaccurate that for the most part no deductions can be drawn from them. The Chinese, in their description of countries, natural objects, etc., are very inexact. Their views about what is and is not important are quite different from ours, and very often we find that the principal matter is not mentioned at all. Nevertheless, we are much indebted to them for our knowledge of Asiatic history, and especially regarding Central and Eastern Asia, the history of these parts being almost unknown to us except from Chinese sources. It is only in a few cases that we are enabled to compare the Chinese accounts of ancient Asiatic geography with the statements of contemporary Indian or Mohammedan writers concerning the same countries. We can do so as regards the Chinese notices about the ancient Persians and Arabs, which are not in contradiction with the Mohammedan annals. Cut their accounts about T'iao chi are so vague and contradictory, that several hypotheses have been advanced by European scholars regardiug the position of ancient T'iao chi. Generally T'iao chi was identified with the Tadjiks (Persia). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Forgotten Heroes San On County and its Magistrates in the Late Ming and Early Qing written by Patrick H. Hase and published by City University of HK Press. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to clarify the history of San On County — the broader Hong Kong area — centring on the troubled years of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is based on an in-depth study of the San On County Gazetteer, which allows for a detailed discussion of the role, attitudes, and personalities of the San On magistrates, who were the heads of the county administration during this period. Particular focus is given to Zhou Xiyao (magistrate 1640–1644) and Li Kecheng (magistrate 1670–1675). The study finds that they, and at least some of the other magistrates of this period, were genuinely concerned about the county and its people, and tried as best they could to provide good and effective government for them.
