Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Society in China The object of the present work is to picture the Chinese as they are, and not necessarily as they profess to be. There is no country in the world where practice and profession are more widely separated than in China. The empire is preeminently one of make-believe. From the emperor to the meanest of his subjects a system of highsounding pretension to lofty principles of morality holds sway; while the life of the nation is in direct contradiction to these assumptions. No imperial edict is complete, and no official proclamation finds currency, without protestations in favour of all the virtues. And yet few courts are more devoid of truth and uprightness, and no magistracy is more corrupt, than those of the celestial empire.
