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: This book is an engagingly written critical genealogy of the idea of "love" in modern Chinese literature, thought, and popular culture. It examines a wide range of texts, including literary, historical, philosophical, anthropological, and popular cultural genres from the late imperial period to the beginning of the socialist era. It traces the process by which love became an all-pervasive subject of representation and discourse, as well as a common language in which modern notions of self, gender, family, sexuality, and nation were imagined and contested.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighteen Capitals of China Livingstone and Stanley did more for science and civilisation than a dozen polar expeditions. A noted explorer who deserves to share their laurels, if only for what he achieved on the same arena, is the author of this volume. Dr. Geil's researches have taken a wider range than theirs, extending to three zones, and he has shown me a tattered flag which he bore on voyages by land and sea sufficient to put a tenfold girdle round this globe. After piercing the Heart of Africa and confirming the Homeric legend of pigmies at war with snakes, if not with cranes, he passed at a single bound from Guinea to New Guinea, where he found materials for many a blood curdling picture of life among the head-hunters and cannibals of the Southern Seas.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from China, in a Series of Views, Displaying the Scenery, Architecture, and Social Habits, of That Ancient Empire, Vol. 3 These last words found no echo in the heart of Hoe-fan, who was henceforth to become the prey of a lawless and a hopeless passion; and, proceeding rather as his animal carried than himself conducted, at length returned to his companions, who were overjoyed at again beholding their royal leader. Changed in his very nature by the flame that withered up all his moral feelings, Hoo-fan now began to plot the destruction of the peasant of Woo-tang, that he might remove what be deemed the only impediment to the possession of his fair companion; and for this purpose, approaching his imperial father, he laid before him a grievance which he said ought to he immediately redressed. He told him how a bold rebel, of whose exact name he was uncertain, but whose secret home he knew, in defiance of imperial pleasure, continually hunted in the royal domains; and prayed permission to suppress the offence by punishing the offender. His request being granted, Hoo-fan set out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
