What reading level is The Chinese At Home book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every tool that requires the use of much strength is out of favour.
Nearly all the work is done by hand. Men even draw ploughs, although mules are also used. Irrigation is everywhere practised, and the con- trivances used for this purpose are often very clumsy. The water buffalo helps here, and is also used for trampling and ploughing. Cattle being scarce, there is a dire lack of fertilising material. For this everything is used, even to the hair cut from the head. The absence of capital with w...hich to build highways, and the scarcity of 179 THE CHINESE AT HOME beasts of burden prevent any extensive farming in the mountainous districts. In certain lakes there are floating islands made of bamboos woven together and covered with soil. These are the homes of a numerous population, arid upon them crops are raised.
The small domain upon which the Chinese family lives is seldom divided. When a son marries, his wife comes to live in the paternal home, and the addition of a new mouth to be fed is perhaps a partial reason for the hostility shown to the newcomer.
