The book covers a wide range of topics, including the ancient Chinese dynasties, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Chinese literature, art, architecture, and science. The author provides a detailed analysis of the Chinese social structure, government, and economy, as well as the role of women in Chinese society. The book also examines the impact of Chinese civilization on the rest of the world, including its influence on neighboring countries such as Japan and Korea. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and culture of China, and a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of Chinese studies.The Chinese people reverence above all things literature and learning; they hate war, bearing in mind the saying of Mencius, ""There is no such thing as a righteous war; we can only assert that some wars are better than others;"" and they love trade and the finesse of the market-place. China can boast many great soldiers, in modern as well as in ancient days.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
