What reading level is With the Empress Dowager of China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then we took the boats and were rowed on further, till we came beneath a steep battlemented wall, sur- mounted by the rich green of arbor- vitaB trees. I was surprised to learn that this was another temple, for it looked more like an old feudal castle than a peaceful temple to the mild Buddha. We landed at the foot of the beautiful white Marble Bridge that spans the narrow northern portion of the lake, just under the 9 6 Peking The Sea Palace stone wall on which the temple was built. We were ca...rried up the steep, winding incline in our chairs. It was a most picturesque approach, and when we reached the top, with the beautiful temple lying peacefully on these martial heights, we found it well worth the climb. There was a grove of arbor- vitae trees leading to this temple. These trees seem to be sacred to the temples and burial-places in China, for all I ever visited in China were either built in a grove of arbor- vitas, or had some of these evergreens growing near. Did the Greeks get their idea and name of the ever-living tree from the Chinese, who regard the arbor-vitse as the tree of life and emblem of Immor- tality?
