Excerpt from A Little Journey to China and JapanThe Chinese proudly boast that their government is the oldest on the globe; that China was a nation five thousand years before the United States was born; that they have books from three to four thousand years old; that they used the printing -press a thousand years before it was used in Europe. More than four thousand years ago these pe0p1e knew how to make brick from clay, how to build canals, how to sing, and play on musical instruments, how to write, and how to calculate the movements of the stars; also, they had domestic animals, cultivated the fields, and had forms of worship and government.They know little of modern inventions and ma chinery, but they have a wonderful skill in handicraft, and their artists and artisans are in many lines not equaled by those of any other country.They tell us, also, that their race numbers more than one-fourth of all the people on the globe, and that their territory includes more than acres of ground, or more than the United States.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
