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. Remembering the occasion Yang Kuei-fei burst into protestations of affection and assured the monarch that she was more faithful than the Spinning Damsel, for that she would never leave him, but, inseparably with him, tread the spiritual walks of eternity. 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 Beauty a Chinese Drama; Translated From the Original The heroine of this beautiful fairy story lived during the later Han Dynasty (A. D. 25-190). China in those early ages was often terribly harassed by the wild and barbarous tribes that lived beyond its northern boundaries, and Mongols and Kins and Tartars, lured by the wealth of the Flowery Kingdom, used to make savage incursions into it, and when they retired they carried with them not only the plunder of the ravaged districts, but also many of their inhabitants as well. Even royal personages were not safe from these nomadic marauders, some of whom died in exile amongst their captors. The supreme devotion of Beauty to her country, and her great sufferings and tragic death, have so appealed to the romance and loyalty of the Chinese, that her story has been dramatized, and no play is to-day more popular, wherever it is performed, than it.

Excerpt from The Development of China The eyes of the world are more and more turned toward China. We are coming to be profoundly interested in the fate of that greatest of Asiatic peoples. And it is well that we are. No other existing nation can look back over as long a past of continuous development as can China. When the foundations of Greece and Rome were being laid and when the great Hebrew prophets were in the midst of their ministry, a nation was being shaped and a civilization formed which have come down through the centuries with a comparatively unbroken history. There have been changes, but none of them as violent as those which have shaken the West during the same period. Only two other cultural groups - that in India and that in the Mediterranean Basin - have had as dominant an influence over as large a section of mankind.

Excerpt from The Knight of the Chinese Dragon These facts find expression in the youthful Knight who haltingly treads the measures of this romance. Na'ive and visionary, he is not aware that he can never stake his dreams to a sod foundation. He treads upon thin air and believes it granite. He knocks his head against the merest vapor and believes it adamant. Like every romantic poet, who has weathered in our unkindly climes, he rapidly frets his soul to tatters.
