Chinas Open Door -A Sketch of Chinese Life And History.
Boston, Lathrop Publishing Company, Reprinted by Cheng Wen Publishing Company, Taipei, 1972. 1 volume in-12, 320 pp. with illustrations, red hardcover, in very good condition.
This History of China covers from China beginnings to the Boxer uprisings. The starting point for this history is an examination of the characteristics of the Chinese and their culture. Included are thorough descriptions of the concept of face, the Chinese economy, filial piety, attitudes toward the law, dress, manners, customs and religious principles. The author asserts that in order to understand and judge aright the causal factors in Chinese history, one must first appreciate the principles governing the lives of the Chinese and how these principles differ from those of Westerners.
