Excerpt from Studies in the Chinese Drama The Chinese drama must be judged by native standards. Unlike her Nipponese neighbour, China is not a borrowing nation. Her arts Of painting, calligraphy, literature, the theatre, et cetera, are indigenous, and can be received in their proper magnificence only when disassociated from the theories that control Western arts, from which they differ in purpose, in thesis, and in exposition.

Excerpt from The Chinese Drama In a.d. 734 he obtained a sight of his daughter-ih-law, the beautiful Yang Kuei-fei, and became so violently enamoured with her that he took her into his own seraglio. She speedily obtained a complete ascendency over him and succeeded in getting raised to the highest position next the throne. According to legendary stories the Herdsman and Spinning Damsel are two lovers who each inhabit a. Star separated by the Silver River (the Milky Way) and are unable 'to meet except on the seventh night of the seventh moon, when magpies from all parts of the world assemble, and with their linked bodies form a bridge to enable the damsel to cross to her lover. Consequently this is one of the great festive occasions of China. On the 'said evening of ad. 735, Huan Tsung and his celebrated consort stood gazing into the starlit sky.

In order to reward such love the emperor sought to discover a novel amusement for her. After consideration be summoned his prime minister and commanded him to select a number of young children, and, after carefully instructing and handsomely dressing them, bring them before the beautiful Yang Kuei-fei. To recite for her delectation the heroic achievements of his ancestors. That was the origin of the drama in China. The first performances were generally held in a pavilion in the open air, among fruit trees, and Huan Tsung subsequently established an Imperial Dramatic College in a pear garden, where hundreds of male and female performers were trained to afford him pleasure. From the site of the college the actors become known as the Young Folks of the Pear Garden, a title they claim to the present day.

Excerpt from Synoptical Studies in Chinese Character What little there was in native works of practical value to foreign students has been embodied in the present collection, and for the rest, it can hardly be expected that every comparison drawn will meet with general approval. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that all the characters in any group are not necessarily to be compared one with another, though an ele ment of sameness will be found always to pervade each group and frequently a whole series of such which have been placed intentionally in juxtaposition. Further, although this volume begins from the beginning and leaves the student on the threshold of written Chinese, yet a thorough analytical knowledge of all the characters here given will make future classification a compa ratively easy matter - and the bitterness of Chinese is past.
