What reading level is As the Chinese See Us book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That is not the prevailing custom in foreign life, but it is the part of foreign life many Chinamen see most of. We have a saying that "those who do not recognise the ties which identify the different generations with each other, are like cattle in clothes. " "Cattle in clothes" can scarcely organise 174 A $ THE CHINESE SEE US themselves into kingdoms. Mixed alliances are unseemly and inexpedient, but in similar cir- cumstances, a Chinese father is never ashamed of his own offspring. A second f...actor which has made for the unity of the empire, is that the Confucian literature, in which we are all steeped, draws the thought and feeling of the whole empire into correspondence, as musical instruments follow the pitch-pipe. Our rulers rarely court insurrection by attacking those forms of self-government which have the sanction of antiquity in city and village alike, and they make it their policy to strengthen, rather than undermine, the independence of the family councils. For this reason the empire can survive dynastic change, and, though wasted for a time, is never destroyed by revolution.
