Download or read book Brief Introduction to the Study of the Chinese Language Classic Reprint written by William B. Pettus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief Introduction to the Study of the Chinese Language The series of articles put together in this Handbook were originally published in the Chinese Recorder. They were carefully read and studied by the Committee on the Training of Missionaries appointed in 1914 by the China Continuation Committee and some modifications have been made at the suggestion of various members of that Committee. The members of this Committee recommend these articles to the missionary body, and especially to those in charge of Language Schools, for the use ofi missionaries entering upon their special course of preparation for work in China. This series of articles will make an excellent intro duction to the study of the Chinese language. While the lack of facilities for carrying out the suggestions in this Handbook will render it less useful to those studying independently than to those able to attend a Language School, yet the Committee would recommend the Hand book to the attention also of those unable to study in an organized school.

Download or read book Language and Logic in Ancient China written by Chad Hansen and published by Advanced Reasoning Forum. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided by 20th century theories of language, Hansen's novel approach to interpretive theory launched the modern analytical study of Ancient Chinese philosophy. This 1983 publication challenged authority-based traditional "religious" accounts stemming from 18th and 19th century missionary dictionaries and reliance on interpretive authority. "Hansen shows that one tiny grammatical question... has profound implications for the understanding of Chinese philosophy. ...This is surely a decisive breakthrough ... a great success. His observations about Chinese thought in general are always stimulating and illuminating. A book which excites one to rethink things from the foundations." A. C. Graham "An ambitious and provocative book concerning the relationship between language and thought in ancient China. ... a novel and powerful theory about the nature of classical Chinese language ... a better understanding of many issues in classical Chinese philosophy." P. J. Ivanhoe "[The] importance of this book lies ... in its engaging style, novel ideas, and rigorous argumentation, which can serve as a model for future work in Chinese philosophy. Hansen takes Chinese philosophy seriously as philosophy. For anyone tired of the superficial summaries or scholastic commentaries that so often characterize this field, Hansen's book will be a memorable and welcome change." Michael Martin

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophies and Religions of China A mlssing la - In the same way therefore that the many Chinese who want to succeed in Western affairs are beginning to make our philosophies and religions a prominent feature of their study, so those among ourselves who wish to be first on the field ready to reap the best advantages and realize the highest benefits which the opening up of China will place in their power, must spare no pains to become fully conversant with all that China holds most sacred on these two important topics. We must remember that however lightly we may regard them the Chinese see a vast fund of meaning in the utterances of their philosophers, whom they look up to with the deepest reverence, and that they feel a real power in their different forms of religion, which have borne so large a part in influencing the lives of themselves and their ancestors for untold generations. Not only can we not afford to ignore these studies, but we shall find in them one of the missing links in the chain which is to draw the East and West into closer connection, and expand their mutual advantages. The sooner therefore that this link can be supplied and adjusted in its proper place the better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Village and Town Life in China Classic Reprint written by Y. K. Leong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Village and Town Life in China Many books have been written about China by Europeans. The present volume is a book about China by two Chinese. They are, moreover, Chinese who have had considerable opportunities of studying other forms of civilization than their own, having lived in England as students for some years. Mr. Tao obtained the b.sc. Degree in Economics at the University of London in 1913, and is now lecturing on Sociology in the University of Pekin. Mr. Leong took the same degree in 1914, and is still a student in the Sociological Department at the London School of Economics. Both have interested themselves especially in social philosophy and the comparative study of institutions, so that if they justly regard their own institutions with the feelings of patriotic Chinese, they are able equally to see them in relation to the customs of other peoples, and to review their merits and defects with a certain detachment. No doubt their point of View is not always that of the English reader. But, on the other hand, the point of view of Europeans who write on China is not that of Chinese, and for the full understanding of a great Empire, which.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Sport in China The British public is greatly handicapped in forming an intelligent appreciation of happenings in China by a lack of that initial experience which can only be gained by residence in the country. In this little work I have endeavoured to place before readers a sketch of things as I saw them, and to convey to their minds an idea of how Europeans live there, of their amusements, of their work, and of those things which are matters of daily interest to them, so that my book may serve as a kind of preface to that enthralling volume, the current history of China, as it is daily revealed in the press, in magazines and in learned works. While confining myself herein to the lighter side of narrative, I am not unconscious of those intricate problems and deep studies connected with the Far East, but to which profound research and matured judgment must be applied, though information there on, even when collected and published, would appeal mostly to the narrow circle of experts on matters Chinese.

Download or read book Research in China Classic Reprint written by Carnegie Institution Of Washington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Research in China The expedition to China carried out in 1903 - 04 under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington gathered certain observations relating to the geology of that country, which are stated in detail under the general subject of descriptive geology, in volume I, part I, of these contributions. The same material is treated in this volume, but from the standpoint of systematic continental history. Repetition has been avoided, so far as is consistent with the presentation of the general subject. Other sources of published information have been freely consulted and are referred to in connection with the discussions. The subject-matter of this volume is classified primarily according to geologic eras or periods, and secondarily by broad areas of which China proper is the central region. Thus the reader will find that each chapter treats of the geographic condition of southeastern Asia during a particular age, and that successive chapters trace the sequence of changes from age to age. Only the great events of continental history are distinguishable on the basis of existing knowledge, but they suffice to show that the present continent is an aggregation of land masses which, from time to time, have been forced into union with one another. This generalization has already been stated by [suess, who, in cooperation with Neumayer, developed the recognition of the great mediterraneans which formerly divided Eurasia. This study of Asia has been carried on with comparative studies of North America and Europe, and has led to theoretical views regarding continental structure and development which have a broad application. They are briefly stated in a closing chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern China: A Political Study This book is an attempt to deal with some of the im portant problems which confront the Chinese statesman and diplomat, and those who have anything to do with China. It has been the author's hope to give a true picture of things in the Far East and to suggest constructive schemes for every subject touched upon. He has tried to avoid patriotic bias and to discuss politics with disinterestedness; and it is hoped that he has not altogether failed in his efforts. The world has become small through the rapid means of communication and through the economic interdependence of its different parts, and it is certain that, before many years have passed, a country with a territory extending over four million square miles and with a population of nearly four hundred millions, will play a far more important part in the intellectual and economic developments of the world than it does at present. It will indeed be most gratifying to the author should this book afford some food for thought to readers interested in human progress and international relations.
