What reading level is Oriental Religions And Their Relation to Universal Religion : China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
aside what it has set up has little to do with the homage of the child to the father. The liberty taken by the Emperor to throw down the altars of the gods of land and grain and set up others when the seasons do not prosper, as he changes his mandarins at pleasure, could never be taken with the ancestral tablet or rite. This would be the most heinous crime known to Chinese conscience.
Nature affirms, in these antique enduring rites of the farthest East, a direct communion with the unseen, com- ...pared with which the ceremonial symbolism of more de- veloped forms of worship seems earthly and trivial. How touching, I had almost said how sublime, this simplicity of method and means ! A bare room, an altar holding fruits and flowers, a memorial tablet to the invisible guar- dian and friend. So for the Shinto shrines of Japan a white screen, a polished mirror, a floral offering suffice, — the pure heart, the self -judging conscience, the grateful sense of beauty and of life.
The homage paid by the Chinese to ancestors, then, has elements that deserve high respect from believers neseances- ^^ continuancc beyond death.
