China of the Chinese (Classic Reprint) by E. T. C. Werner Pdf

Excerpt from China of the Chinese The above general plan, with its broad outlines, represents neither the popular nor the academical method of viewing Chinese history. The former pictures a misty past, in which figures of the great Patriarchs and great Sages, the Builder Of the Great Wall and Burner of Books, with here and there a chivalrous hero, are dimly discerned, and later epochs, of which the knowledge is also misty, known as Augustan Ages of Chinese literature and poetry, all of which are completely overshadowed by the modern periods of foreign intercourse and foreign wars, openings for trade and robbing of territory which, though of historical value, are accorded too large a space in the picture to constitute it a properly proportioned representation of the whole of Chinese history.

Things Chinese by James Dyer Ball Pdf

Excerpt from Things Chinese: Being Notes on Various Subjects Connected With China Nearly forty years spent in China have given the author many opportunities of observing and studying the Chinese in almost every aspect of their life and character, and, while indebted to other writers as well, he has largely availed himself of these personal observations and experiences in the production of this book. The first appearance of Mr Basil Hall Chamberlain's 'things Japanese' gave rise to the idea of 'things Chinese, ' until now, in the words of that author in the Preface to his Fourth Edition of 'things Japanese' (for edition after edition of it and 'things Chinese' have been issued nearly parz' passu), 'in the un likely event of anyone instituting a minute comparison between this edition and its predecessor, he would find minor alterations innumerable - here a line erased, there a paragraph added, or again a figure changed, a statement qualified, a description or a list brought up to date, even a score (or two or more) of completely new articles inserted. But take it altogether, the book remains the same as heretofore.' So the same may be said of this Fourth Edition of 'things Chinese.' A word here, a line there, now a clause, then a term struck out, a phrase deleted, or sentence altered - all have had their share in making it necessary to put the word 'revised' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

History of China, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by Demetrius C. Boulger Pdf

Excerpt from History of China, Vol. 1 IT is unnecessary for me to detain the reader with any lengthy remarks by way of introduction to this history. The Chinese Empire presents for our con sideration one of the most complicated of existing problems; and the subject is of growing rather than waning importance. In 'dealing with its history we are not discussing the fortunes of some Empire that has long disappeared, nor are we seeking to discern the future of a race that has lost or forgotten the capacity of government; but we are treating of a stat-e and a people that apparently were never, during the long course of their national existence, more powerful and flourishing than they are at this very day.

China and the Open Door (Classic Reprint) by Charles Coates Pdf

Excerpt from China and the Open Door What trade there may have been by the Chinese frontier in ancient days is not known, but probably it was considerable. China is, and has been, almost unique in its position as absolutely independent of resources from without everything the Chinese people require they have within their own territories. The trade the Chinese carried on in the ancient days, that we know about for certain, was principally on their own coasts, and a few junks went yearly to Japan, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and the islands about the Straits of Malacca, more in quest of luxuries than the necessaries of life. These junks made the voyage by one monsoon and home by the next. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
