What reading level is The Recent Changes At Peking ; And, Recollections of Peking book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bed was plain but of the best silk.
T he eunuchs keep everything in exact order. There was no disturbance of the ordinary arrangement. We saw all as it really was before the Emperor left it in August 1900.
The books I noticed in the Em- peror's study were the Tatsinghweitien ; Book of statutes, in about 600 chap- ters ; the Chiumingwensiuen, a valu- able collection of poems and essays of the Han and some later dymsties, an 1 the Kingtsihweipien, an immense col- lection on politics and admin...istrative economy. The Emperor has two apirtments for study. These large collections were in the larger Shufang, and with them the Tatsingyi'tungchi the topography of the Chinese empire, in 356 volumes. The Emperor and his advisers feel what the foreign student feels that a Chinese library is too bulky to be kept just at hand. A selection is indispensable. The choice of books for the personal library of the Emperor has been ma le on the prin" ciple that he must study the works of a comprehensive nature published by his ancestors during the twj h'j.idred ani sixty y^ars of their rule.
