Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from China and the Chinese, a General Description of the Country and Its Inhabitants: Its Civilization and Form of Government; Its Religious and Social Institutions; Its Intercourse With Other Nations; And Its Present Condition and Prospects Our present relations with China, her practical nearness to us, and the evident indications in that most conservative of all nations of momentous changes in the immediate future, have served to awaken new interest in that Empire. Seldom have two parties been brought necessarily into such close contact who so thoroughly misunderstand each other. I have been asked by intelligent scholars in China, "Do you have schools in your country?" When they learn that we - whom they have been accustomed to regard as barbarians - give evidence of some degree of mental culture, and are acquainted with their language and literature, the inference is very apt to be, "Then the people of your honorable country are also acquainted with the books of Confucius," supposing that wherever throughout the world there are schools the text-books must, of course, be the Chinese classics. This ignorance of other countries is truly remarkable, but hardly more so than that which exists among Western nations with reference to the Chinese.
