FOB THE CAUSE OF GOOD GOVEBNMENT IN CHINA. PBACTICAL CONCLUSIONS. MOTTO: 'Depend upon it, when we grope in the dark, as we must in the East, the best course is that which is just and right." General Gordon. THINK the time has now come when it is both opportune and necessary to examine into the present policy of the Powers in China. I wish only to repeat here that I am writing entirely on my own responsibility and I alone am responsible for my opinions. SPIBIT AND ATTITUDE. Now, before any hope can be entertained for a satisfactory solution of the Chinese problem, it is first of all absolutely necessary for the Powers radically to change the spirit and attitude of their policy in dealing with the Chinese Government antLChinese officials. A writer in the Japan Mail, Mr. E. H. House, writing on the past policy of the Western nations towards Japan, says, "Strangers to the country chose to set up a theory that the policy of Japan was a maze of dissimulation and fraud; and that any action which aliens could not comprehend at all, must necessarily be part of a deep and all-embracing scheme of deception. It was the absurdest of fallacies, yet it stood as the basis of European diplomacy for a score of years." This, then, I have no hesitation in saying, is the fons et origo, the fountain-head of old disasters in the intercourse between the foreign Powers and China. It is this spirit of suspicion which, being as it were in the air, infects every foreign Minister and especially every British Minister, and produces a kind of jaundice which makes him see everything yellow in China. As I am here not writing as a mere partisan for the Chinese, but in the cause of truth, I will deny that there is certainly a certain want of frankness and plain...

Download or read book The Story of China Studies written by Wang Ronghua and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful book is intended for foreigners who visit China or are working and living in China, as well as for foreigners whose work is closely related to China. It includes knowledge of the country’s recent past and acquaints readers with the six masters who are considered idols for many Chinese, including almost all of China’s important political leaders. The chapters also give an insight and a feel for present day China. The book illustrates the lives of these six masters of China Studies, men who “woke up” China from her sleep, gave special meaning to Chinese culture, and inspired political leaders who are still alive in the hearts of the Chinese people. The Story of China Studies contains translations of “The Icy Mirror,” which is Chinese physiognomy, and “A Talk on Verses for Singing,” a guidebook for reading and appreciating a unique form of Chinese verses called “Cí.”

Download or read book Translating China as Cross Identity Performance written by James St. André and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James St. André applies the perspective of cross-identity performance to the translation of a wide variety of Chinese texts into English and French from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Drawing on scholarship in cultural studies, queer studies, and anthropology, the author argues that many cross-identity performance techniques, including blackface, passing, drag, mimicry, and masquerade, provide insights into the history of translation practice. He makes a strong case for situating translation in its historical, social, and cultural milieu, reading translated texts alongside a wide variety of other materials that helped shape the image of “John Chinaman.” A reading of the life and works of George Psalmanazar, whose cross-identity performance as a native of Formosa enlivened early eighteenth-century salons, opens the volume and provides a bridge between the book’s theoretical framework and its examination of Chinese-European interactions. The core of the book consists of a chronological series of cases, each of which illustrates the use of a different type of cross-identity performance to better understand translation practice. St. André provides close readings of early pseudotranslations, including Marana’s Turkish Spy (1691) and Goldsmith’s Citizen of the World (1762), as well as adaptations of Hatchett’s The Chinese Orphan (1741) and Voltaire’s Orphelin de la Chine (1756). Later chapters explore Davis’s translation of Sorrows of Han (1829) and genuine translations of nonfictional material mainly by employees of the East India Company. The focus then shifts to oral/aural aspects of early translation practice in the nineteenth century using the concept of mimicry to examine interactions between Pidgin English and translation in the popular press. Finally, the work of two early modern Chinese translators, Gu Hongming and Lin Yutang, is examined as masquerade. Offering an original and innovative study of genres of writing that are traditionally examined in isolation, St. André’s work provides a fascinating examination of the way three cultures interacted through the shifting encounters of fiction, translation, and nonfiction and in the process helped establish and shape the way Chinese were represented. The book represents a major contribution to translation studies, Chinese cultural studies, postcolonial studies, and gender criticism.

Book excerpt: Benedict Anderson, professor at Cornell and specialist in Southeast Asian studies, is best known for his book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (1991). It is no understatement to say that this is one of the most influential books of the last twenty years. Widely read both by social scientists and humanists, it has become an unavoidable document. For people in the humanities, Anderson is particularly interesting because he explores the rise of nationalism in connection with the rise of the novel.
