8vo, hardcover in dj, xlii, 847 p., ill., 24 cm. "In this multidimensional analysis, Benjamin A. Elman uses over a thousand newly available examination records from the Yuan, Ming, and Ch'ing dynasties, 1315-1904, to explore the social, political, and cultural dimensions of the civil examination system, one of the most important institutions in Chinese history. For over five hundred years, the most important positions within the dynastic government were usually filled through these difficult examinations, and every other year some one to two million people from all levels of society attempted them.'

2947Philadelphia, American Philosophical Soc., 1838. Un volume relié (14,5 x 2 cm) de 375 pages et 10 planches hors-texte de caractères chinois.

Pierre-Étienne Du Ponceau, né le 3 juin 1760 à Saint-Martin-de-Ré en France, décédé le 1er avril 1844 à Philadelphie aux États-Unis, est un linguiste, philosophe et juriste français. Il émigre en 1777 aux États-Unis, à 17 ans, avec Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, dont il est le secrétaire lorsque ce baron prussien combat durant la guerre d'indépendance aux côtés de George Washington. Pierre-Étienne Du Ponceau obtient ensuite la place de sous-secrétaire d'État au département des Affaires étrangères. À la paix, il étudie les lois, et en fait sa profession. Président de la Société philosophique américaine de 1827 à sa mort, il publie plusieurs études des langues amérindiennes, notamment le Mémoire sur le système grammatical des langues de quelques nations Indiennes de l'Amérique du Nord (1838) pour lequel il reçoit le prix Volney. Il contribue également par ses travaux à la compréhension de l'écriture chinoise, car il est l'un des premiers linguistes occidentaux à affirmer que cette écriture n'est pas idéographique, mais lexigraphique, c'est-à-dire que ses caractères ne représentent pas des idées, mais des mots.Pour plus de détails, voir L. Taylor: Catalog of books on China in the Essex Institue, p.274.

8vo, hardcover, pp. 263. Julia Boyd tells the fascinating tale of the foreign community surviving in Peking between the end of the Ching Dynasty and Mao s communist revolution. It is a great story very well told - turmoil behind, turmoil ahead and turmoil all around. --Chris Patten, Chancellor of Oxford University, Chairman of the BBC and former Governor of Hong Kong Based on a treasure-trove of original sources, this book gives an enthralling insight into the expatriate community in Peking during the half-century before the triumph of Mao. Anyone who wants to understand China's relationship with foreigners, today as well as yesterday, should read it. --Piers Brendon, author of The Decline and Fall of the British Empire A fascinating account sourced from many previously unpublished letters and archives. Boyd's characters flit on the surface of the city like water beetles, unaware of the depths below. --Frances Wood, Curator of Chinese Collections, British Library, author of China's First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors.

Boyd's characters flit on the surface of the city like water beetles, unaware of the depths below. --Frances Wood, Curator of Chinese Collections, British Library, author of China's First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors. 'It is as much a glimpse of a corner of the fashionable intellectual life of Europe and America in exile as it is a guide to the vanished world of Peking itself.' --Asian Affairs A fascinating account sourced from many previously unpublished letters and archives. Boyd's characters flit on the surface of the city like water beetles, unaware of the depths below. --Frances Wood, Curator of Chinese Collections, British Library, author of China's First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors.

Green gilt-stamped original cloth very good, [105]p., each page illustrated in b.w. with his drawings. Sketches on the life and work of a large segment of Taiwan's burgeoning population, showing life before the power tiller, the taxicab, factories etc., it is this timelessness that emerges from Kuo's characters to delight the reader unfamiliar with Chinese culture & to excite fond reminiscences from those who have been exposed to it. From pre-dawn, through the travels of the sun across the sky, until after the sun sets, Kuo describes and depicts his Taiwan. Kuo gained notoriety with his Formosan Vignette series in the China Post.
