Excerpt from Among the Sons of Han: Notes of Six Years' Residence in Various Parts of China and Formosa
Treatises on the same subject, and that thus the notes might be the humble means of contributing, however slightly, to a better knowledge of China and the Chinese. Two or three of the short sketches have already appeared anonymously in a Shanghai news paper, and a few others formed the substance of an article in a recent number of Tinsleys' Magazine. For the information of those who are not sufficiently familiar with Chinese topics, it may be advisable to explain, with reference to the title of this book, that, as the Han dynasty, b.c. 202 to a.d. 221 - contemporaneous with so much that is memorable in Western annals - was one of the most glorious epochs in Chinese history, so amongst the various designations applied to Chinamen at the present day, the most flattering and the most honourable, the synonym of all that is brave and good, is the popular term Han izz'i, or Son of Han. The accompanying map shows at a glance the extent of our wanderings in China, and the various places - some of them but little known to Europeans - visited by us and described in the following.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century China, as seen through the eyes of a European woman accompanying her husband on a lengthy journey through the country. The author recounts her personal experiences with vivid detail, providing an intimate portrait of daily life in a land that was largely unknown to the West. From bustling Shanghai to the serene bamboo temple near Chefoo, she invites readers to experience the sights, sounds, and customs of Chinese society, including traditional ceremonies, religious practices, and the unique blend of English and Chinese in "pidgin English." The author's insightful observations of the Chinese people and their way of life, though filtered through a Western lens, offer a valuable perspective on the complexities of cultural exchange and the enduring power of tradition in the face of change. The book's insights into the customs and beliefs of 19th-century China provide a compelling window into a pivotal period in the nation's history.
