What reading level is The Religion of the Chinese book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This imperial sacrifice is the most solemn, the most pompous worship ever paid on this earth to a divinity of nature. It is also interesting for its remarkable antiquity. It is attended by a large number of musicians and religious dancers, per- forming at every important moment.
In the same vast altar park there is, to the north of the Round Eminence, another altar of the same form, but of smaller dimensions. It bears a large, circular building with dome or cupola, the only edifice of this shap...e and size in the empire. It represents the vaulted form of the celestial sphere. This is the ki nien tien, or temple hall, where prayers are made for a happy year, that is to say, for a good harvest throughout the empire. Here a great annual sacrifice is offered by the emperor to heaven and his ancestors in the first decade of the first CONFUCIANISM IO7 month of the year. And to obtain seasonable rains for the crops, a sacrifice is presented in the same building in the first month of summer to the same tablets, as also to those of rain, thunder, clouds, and winds.
