What reading level is The Open Court 45, No.903 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yii ]\Iin, located on an island in the southeastern ocean, a people with long jaws, bird-beaks, red eyes and white heads, covered with hair and feathers resembling human beings, but born from eggs.
The conception of bird-men is quite familiar to Chinese mytho- logy and is often represented in Chinese art. I^ei Kung, the god of thunder and lightning, has wings attached to his shoulders (usually those of a bat) by means of which he flies to wherever he wishes to produce a thunderstorm.
The first ...description of an air journey is found in a poem by Kii Yiian, w^ho, having lost his position as statesman by the in- trigues of his rivals, found solace from his disgrace by writing. In his poem, he surveys the earth to its four extreme points, travels all over the sky, then descends again in a flying chariot drawn by dragons.
This idea is not alien to Chinese art. An aerial contest between a dragon chariot and winged beings astride scaly and horned dra- gons is represented on a gravestone of the Han period (second century A.D.) Huang Ti, one of the ancient legendary emperors, attained im- mortality by mounting a long-bearded dragon, strong enough to transport his wives also and ministers — more than seventy persons.
