Download or read book China in Legend and Story Classic Reprint written by Colin Campbell Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China in Legend and Story Hese stories come from the heart of a Chinese city. The printed page cannot create memories of living faces, gestures, turns of voice and movements of the hand, nor their background, here the corner of a house or temple court, there a stretch of dusty road or the distant skyline lifted clear against the heavens. There exists no achromatic medium through which to show the men who told the tales or lived them out before the writer's eyes. Nor, failing such' a magic lens, is it possible to borrow the cinematographic presentation with which the Chinese raconteur makes his hearers see both men and things as in a moving picture. This being so, the stories have been told as simply as possible, in the hope that their original interest may not have been wholly lost in the telling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese The feeling Of exile, ever too melancholy in the heart Of the white stranger whose lot is cast in this southern land of ten thousand granite peaks which extend along the coast for two days of the sea journey from Shanghai, is nowhere more happily dispelled for a season than at hong-kong Island during the race week in Feb ruary. The indispensable Celestial, Ah Chow, arrives from the breeding camps in Mongolia with a motley colored string of Shaggy, hardy Chinese ponies, thirteen hands high, for which he paid at the breeding steppes only ten dollars each, but which he will sell at ten times that price. They are all of such uncertain temper that bets are laid as to whether they will be left at the post or run away before the starter has shouted, go. Fat bellied as they are, some do the mile in two minutes ten seconds. There was a day in China in the reign of Hiao, when the Superintendent of the Stud ranked next in importance to the Throne itself. Then horses were large enough to bear armored men to battle. The his tory of stock in Japan, as well, Since that time has been one of decadence. These ponies are drawn by lot by the staffs of the Scotch firms, English Officers and gentle men, and the Parsee bankers who deal in opium and land.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men and Manners, of Modern China The pictures of Chinese life that are given in the pages of this work have been drawn from my own personal experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses Into Chinese Homes ET us look into the homes of China, and thus shall we learn of the hearts of its people, for the home is the mirror of the heart. The passions, tastes and imaginations of the soul are all portrayed in the abiding-place of the body. Chinese character, politics, religions and social customs, are all shown in its domes tic relations. And, indeed, is not the home, anywhere, an epitome of national life, its institutions and sentiments Inasmuch as we understand the determinate quantity of family life, insomuch do we know the trend of national existence. Rome, in the zenith of her power, governed but one hundred and twenty millions of men. The boy Emperor of China sways his sceptre over three times that number. What roofs cover these hearts? Under what conditions are they abiding? Hundreds of thousands are born, live, and die on boats. By far the greatest portion of this class of people is found in the southern part of the Empire. The waters about Can ton are the most densely populated; yet this style of living prevails, to some extent, in all latitudes of the country.

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. May the light of understanding dispel the darkness of ignorance and reveal the true China and her people.

Download or read book Chinese Expansion Historically Reviewed Classic Reprint written by Kencho Suematsu and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Expansion Historically Reviewed I will not go back to the remotest periods, or seek to make any ethnological investigations as to the races that originally occupied the regions which have come under the sovereignty of China, or which, at least, have been included in the sphere of her influence; for were we to do so, we might find there was a time when both Mongolians and Chinese belonged to the same race; or, if we were to go further back still, it might appear that both these and manv other peoples living quite outside Chinese influence origin ally belonged to the same stock. But these connections are too remote and obscure, and have no important bearing on the proposition I am about to make. It is sufficient for my purpose to trace the growth of the Chinese Empire within the limits of the records which we possess - chiefly in the literature of China itself - and that, too, of a very appreciable antiquity. It is a well-known fact that China is one of the most ancient countries of the world. The Chow dynasty ruled in the period when we begin to find reliable records, and the beginning of that dynasty dates back twelve centuries The period preceding that dynasty had been a very long one, but of it we have no reliable records. It is mainly regarded as the legendary state of Chinese history; and yet there are some records relating to twenty-three centuries b.c. There is good foundation, moreover, for believing those documents to be genuine records, from the mathematical calculations made by many experts in such matters, relating to astronomical events recorded in those documents, and which all go to confirm their accuracy. In studying the old documents and history of China, the heart of China in the earliest period is seen to have been located somewhere far up the river Hoang - ho. Those who have studied the evolution of the alphabet tell us that the Hoang-ho is one of three remarkable rivers on the banks of which the three original systems of recording impressions were invented - the Egyptian writing on the Nile, the Cuneiform beside the streams of Mesopotamia, and the Chinese on the Hoang-ho - and that the hundreds of existing systems of writing now in use are really derivatives of these three, however varied and modified they may be.
