Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of the Chinese A place as a world-religion must, without hesi tation, be assigned to it on account of the vast number of its adherents. It has extended the circle of its influence far beyond the boundaries of the empire proper, and has gained access, together with Chinese culture generally, into Korea, Japan, Manchuria, and Turkestan, as well as into Indo China, though, of course, in modified forms. Hence a proper understanding of the religions of East Asia in general requires in the first place an under standing of the religion of China.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China and Religion I must apologise for a certain irregularity in the spelling of Indian, Persian, Arabic, and other foreign words. For instance, Canonge instead of Kanuj, and doubtless many others in the same category. Not knowing any West Asian language, I take the spelling which occurs in the best books I have consulted, some of which are more up to date than others; or I adopt the usual spelling. I have at least tried to be consistent in my irregularity; and, after all, in a book on Religion, scientific spelling is not of the essence. In Chinese words, of course, I profess to be right according to my own ideas of what is right; though even here I occasionally use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State Religion of China: By Inquirer The next point to this, is to state what is the relation of the designa tions Ti and Shang-ti to the Being who is styled Heaven. Kang Hi's Dictionary and the Book of History defines it thus, Shang-ti is Heaven The Fung-shen Book says Shang-ti is another name for Heaven. 1 In the commentaries on the Classics these definitions are repeated very frequently - sometimes in one form, and sometimes in the other. Shang-ti is Heaven. Shang-ti and Heaven are one and the same. Shang-ti is another name for Heaven. In his Lectures, at' p. 10, Dr. Legge says Heaven is styled Shang-ti, and as frequently Ti alone, without the Shang. Throughout the Shu and the Shih, the ancient Books of History and Poetry, the names Thien, Ti and Shang ti are constantly interchanged, in the course of the same chapter or paragraph, often in the same sentence. Dr. Chalmers says Confucius did not initiate the practice of calling Heaven personified Shang-ti. The usage came down with the language from unfathomable antiquity. Terms Simplified, p. 58. Dr. Medhurst or Shang-ti is said to be synonymous with Heaven. Sec Inquiry, p. 19. I concur entirely in this general consensus of the usage of Shang-ti as another name for or the synonym of Heaven. Heaven is the name of the Being, and Ti and Shang-ti are used as other names to designate that Being. I call attention to the fact that it is not once intimated in any book, or stated by any native or foreign authority that Heaven is another name for Shang-ti.
