CHINESE CITIES AND VILLAGES. A Chinese city viewed from a distance--Fire walls--Suburbs--Foochow-f u--The great bridge--Streets--Shops--Signboards--Walls --Boats--Villages--Huts--Village life--Village warfare--Hired braves--Robbers--Government interference--Settled communities. The typical Chinese city, when viewed from a distance, presents a vast area of tiled roofs, rising to a nearly uniform height, and a network of narrow alleys and streets. In most of the densely populated towns the roads are so contracted and the overlapping eaves of the houses so broad as to convey the idea that the place is made up of one unbroken mass of human dwellings; but in cities, such as Peking and Nanking, there are many straight wide roads and open breathing spaces. These two cities, however, are the ancient and modern capitals of China, for which reason they were specially laid out to accommodate the imperial Court and the aristocracy. In towns, where available space is really of greater importance to the people, sunlight and pure air appear to be carefully excluded, hence all the inhabitants who may desire to cheer themselves by a glimpse of the blue sky and a draught of the passing breeze must resort to their house-tops, which are commonly decked with rows of fragrant flowers set out in pots, and surrounded with ornamental rails marking the limits of a small wooden platform. Running along the ridges of the roofs numerous jars may also be seen filled with water to the brim so as to afford a ready resource in case of fire. They have no fire engines, and indeed only those of the most portable kind would be of any service, since otherwise they could never be conveyed to the scene of a conflagration. We may also notice that the close packed...

Download or read book The Land the People the Republic of China written by Tim D. Harmon and published by Beyond Words Publishing. This book was released on 1992 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer Tim Harmon has spent the past five years photographing the Republic of China. His sensitive images capture the feelings of the land, its people in both work and play, and the spirit that inspires this country. The Chinese government has given Tim Harmon special access to previously unphotographed areas, cultures, landscapes, and islands in the Republic of China archipelago. You will view several aboriginal cultures living as they have for the past ten thousand years. The Republic of China has changed overnight from an agrarian to an industrial society, making it one of the economic miracles of this century. Both in photography and text this book reveals the dynamic of a changing culture while maintaining a traditional heritage. The introduction by Madame Chiang Kai-Shek traces the history of the Republic of China from its inception to the present day. As the matriarch of the country, she helped shape its forty-nine-year history. At age 94 she still embodies the moral values and principles that inspire this fledgling democracy. Included in the text are essays by Caspar Weinberger, former U.S. Secretary of Defense and current publisher of Forbes Magazine; C. F. Koo, Senior Adviser to the presidency of the Republic of China and chairman of the Chinese National Association of Industry and Commerce; Dr. Jason Hu, director general and spokesperson for the R.O.C.; and commentaries by a number of Chinese writers.
