Product Information

Excerpt from China and the Chinese: A Text-Book Comprising the Religions and Philosophies, the Language and Literature, the History and Geography of China, Arranged for Two Courses of Study 1. THE OBJECT AND SCOPE OF THIS COURSE. In this first course we shall consider the chief features of the Philosophies and Religions which have been founded or have existed in China from the earliest ages up to the present time. We shall dwell principally upon the Confucian and Taoist philosophers, and their systems of philosophy, because both had their origin in China, and have found but little acceptance elsewhere except in her dependencies and in Japan. We shall treat Buddhism at some length also, because although an exotic system it has exercised an immense influence over China. The Mohammedan and Jewish religions as found in China will have their full share of tice. An account of the folk-lore, the many peculiar beliefs and the different secret societies in China naturally belongs to this subject, and will doubtless be found interesting and useful. Lastly, the various forms in which Christianity has been presented to China, viz. the Nestorian, the Roman Catholic, the Greek and the Protestant Churches, will be duly considered in their history, operations and results.
