A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Revolution China is at her zenith under a matchless though ancient and obsolete system. She has a full appreciation of her past and has received great gifts from theW est. This is indeed, to her, the true Golden A ge. There is an idea in the world that China has. grown old and that her civilisation is in decay, whereas, under the system which she has developed in the past, China has reached the pinnacle of earthly glory so far as she has ever known earthly glory. After theM ongols extinguished the powers of conquest in Western A sia, leaving Europe disposed of, so to spe k, China was free to absorb the so-called barbarian tribes remaining on her borders, and she steadily grew and progressed, until she is larger, greater, more prosperous than ever before, and exhibits a greater proportion, as well as a larger number of contented if not happy human beings than are to be found elsewhere on the globe. Civilisation should treasure these facts as time brings its revolutionary crash, supercilious iconoclasm, and sacrilege. Western civilisation overtook China so speedily that she was unable to adjust herself to it. The ruling Manchu Dynasty, though old, degenerate, and decrepit, was not unaware of China ssituation and had a truer knowledge of its own situation than had others.
