Excerpt from Great Names Nations: A First Book in Ancient History You would smile if I should ask you how you can tell a Chinaman. We are so well acquainted with his queer shoes, his loose blouse, and pigtail that we know him at once. His slanting eyes, yel low skin, and broad face tell us that he belongs to the Yellow race, whose home is in f ar-away Asia on the opposite side of the earth. If we take the fastest train from New York we may reach San Francisco in about six days. Here we may get on board a great steamship, and after a voyage of fifteen days on the broad Pacific we reach Shang-hai, the New York of China.

Excerpt from Great Names Nations: A First Book in Ancient History The Chinese are a very ancient branch of the great Yellow race whose original home was in faraway Asia; their country was known in Old Testament times as Sinim. Centuries before the Christian era the quiet inhabitants of China had their settled civilization and religion. Although they were sometimes invaded by more restless tribes and even conquered, their culture and learning, as in the case of Greece and Rome, tamed their conquerors. As an old writer declared, "China is a sea that salts all rivers flowing into it." Throughout the ages of migration and the wanderings of the Eastern peoples the Chinese kept their own customs and traditions. They upheld in every way reverence for the past and adherence to established order. Like all nations of antiquity, they believed in a remote and mythic ancestry. Hence they would have no welcome for changes or innovations of any kind. In a way we may say they were like children reluctant to grow up; and the attitude of a child to its parent was never lost, nor its submissiveness outgrown though the son were himself a man of mature years. Habits of life, subjects and methods of study were strictly regulated and carefully guarded from change; behaviour and manners under all circumstances were according to rule. Though in many ways far gentler and less quarrelsome than many of the vigorous, self-assertive peoples of the ancient world, the Chinese were yet capable of much cold cruelty. Penalties under the law were devised with the ingenuity and carried out with the thoroughness which marked all Chinese methods.

Excerpt from The Story of the Ancient Nations: A d104-Book for High Schools The monumental sources include all those remains acci dentally left to us by any nation, which tell us of the religion, architecture and art, or the dress of this nation, or of any other side of its life. These sources may include the contents of graves, such as bodies, pottery, and implements of many kinds. The statues which are dug up from the ruins of old cities, and the remains of the houses and temples tell us of the artistic skill of the people. Coins are often found where the peoples of antiquity lived, and from these scholars derive information regarding the extent and nature of their com mercial life. The pictures painted on the walls of houses or in tombs help us to form some knowledge of the daily life and habits of the race. The written sources include, first of all, books of every kind, especially histories written by men of these ancient nations. Almost as important is the information we gain from inscriptions. These are records cut into tablets of stone or bronze, or upon the sides of stone tombs and tem ples. They give us the laws passed by the kings and assem blies, records which at the present day are printed and filed in the government archives. The tomb inscriptions tell us the names and deeds of the kings or the great men whose bodies rested there. On the bases of statues we read the names of the artists who carved beautiful works in stone. In addition to histories and inscriptions, the stories told by the ancient peeples about their early history may be used, with caution, to complete the picture. These are the legends of their gods and heroes, handed down for centuries by word of mouth. They are generally classed under one head and called oral tradition. Although not very trustworthy as to the events narrated, they show what these peoples thought about their own past, and sometimes give us vague hints regarding actual events.
