What reading level is The Celestial And His Religions : Or, the Religious Aspect in China : Being a Series of Lectures On the Religions of the Chinese book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They thought they still numbered between three and four hundred, but all were poor and likely, now that they had no synagogue, to become still further dispersed.
Bishop Schereschewsky, of the same race as them- selves, also visited them later on, but the literati of the city prevented him from staying with them.
Between thirty and forty years ago a party of them journeyed to Peking to endeavour to obtain support — 179 — but without avail. One or two had already become Buddhist priests some twen...ty years ago, others are literary graduates, but all 'are ignorant of their peculiar rites and festivals.' And now comes the saddest part of the whole history of this most interesting people ; for after many centuries of existence in Kai-fong-fii, as the head quarters of the different Jewish colonies in China, this one, which has survived the longest, is at last no more, for the considerable numbers of this remarkable race have now virtually disappeared. Through long succes- sion of ages they have existed in China ; mention, as we have seen, appears to be made of them in Chinese works; and there were synagogues in a number of Chinese cities.
