Download or read book Traveller Tales of China Or the Story Telling Hongs Classic Reprint written by Hezekiah Butterworth and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traveller Tales of China or the Story-Telling Hongs In this volume I have aimed, after the manner of the "Zigzag Stories," to give a view of the social life of Russian China and China; to make an instructive book, which should picture the new way around the world by the Siberian railway, and the new ports of the East in Manchuria and on the Yellow Sea. This is the second volume of the new series of "Traveller Tales," written after the manner of the "Zigzag" series, which sought to illustrate the manners and customs of nations by folk-lore tales and travellers' narratives, in a progressive manner. Many of the interpolated stories in this volume are "Jakarta" legends, which means that they were parables imputed to Buddha, but which were written to make clear his teachings a century or more after his death. These tales are the folk-lore of Buddhism, and are well known in Buddhist countries, and illustrate the manners and customs of the people of the past and present. The book seeks to make clear to young people the new conditions, as well as the old traditions, of the Chinese people.

Download or read book Travellers Tales of Hong Kong Canton Macao written by Compiled by Michael Wise and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected for the first time in a single volume are these true and often comic stories of the South China Coast. Seventy visitors from around the world give vivid accounts of their experiences—of high society at Government House and low life in Canton gaols, of spies in Hong Kong and pirates on buccaneering junks, of typhoons, burglars and Eastern magic, of gambling, opium and slavery. Most revealing of all, they write about their encounters with the people, the misunderstandings between East and West, the constant battle of wits between Chinese and foreigner, united only by a pidgin lingo. This was a time when the Colonial Secretary could say with confidence: “I have in vain sought for one valuable quality in Hong Kong… I can see no justification for the British Government spending one shilling on Hong Kong”. First published in 1986, this classic volume is sure to entertain and inform a whole new generation of readers
