The Uighur people who lived along the northern rim of the Tarim Basin encountered foreigners from Europe Arabia Persia India China Mongolia and Japan who traveled through their land along the Silk Road the major trading route between Europe and China. This interaction began a rich multicultural heritage that gave birth to these tales and continued to flourish once the sea replaced the land route for trade. The stories encapsulate Uighur history in the words of the people who migrated from the Northern Mongolian Plateau to Central Asia. They reveal the effects of the gradual conversion to Islam as well as those of earlier beliefs involving Buddhism Nestorian Christianity and Manichaeism on the personality of the people.'.

19364569Peiping China: June 4 1936. About very good. 2pp. Folio. Old fold lines minor wear a few contemporary annotations. Letter written by a nurse visiting China relating her itinerary in China which includes numerous trips to local hospitals and leper colonies. Minnie Goodnow was a registered nurse who served in France during the Great War. After her return to the U.S. she was a nursing administrator in several hospitals before embarking on this journey. She writes: "I am having a trip that is no less than wonderful. I had three objectives in mind for it -- to see the world or some bits of it; to see hospitals and learn something of what was being done in nursing education in several lands; and to see something of missions at first hand. I'm doing all three of them -- superficially but with great profit to myself. . I went up to Chiengmai with some of the mission people staid with Dr. and Mrs. Cort saw the wonderful leper colony and had a marvellous time. Here in China I have had a steady diet of missions and hospitals and done sight-seeing too." She goes on to relate her itinerary which includes trips to Shanghai Nanking Hankow and Changsha as well as a stay at a Buddhist monastery -- "Can you fancy the thrill I got from spending the night on top of a sacred mountain in a Buddhist monastery in the heart of China!"<br /> <br /> She continues: "Miss Stephenson went with me to two 'country' hospitals -- to complete -- or add to -- my education! They were those at Siaokan and Tiean and were most interesting. I also saw the old-fashioned leper asylum at Tiean which is on the way to becoming new-fashioned. Then I came here to Peiping where I have been for nearly four weeks. I am giving a short course in History of Nursing and doing sight-seeing also meeting people." She tells her reader that after China she plans to travel on to Indian with a similar mission. An interesting look into the culture of American travel and mission work in China in the 1930s.

19115251London: March 29 1911. Very good. 1p. Previously folded. Contemporary manuscript annotation is left margin. Light toning. A brief but interesting letter dated March 29 1911 from Marshall Broomhall Editorial Secretary of England's China Inland Mission to the Rev. Arthur H. Smail a prominent American Missionary in China. Broomhall had recently published a book Islam in China in which he promoted the use of Arabic-speaking missionaries to proselytize Chinese Muslims. The book used information received from Smail about the Chinese Muslim population but Broomhall at certain points managed to confuse Beijing Peking and nearby Tongzhou Tungchow while apparently attempting to criticize Smail's statements. This letter apologizes to Smail for his error though the American seems to have still been cross -- having received the letter Smail noted in the left margin "Two pages gives to demolishing what I never said!

196716838Urumqi XinJiang Uyghur Autonomous Region: Cultural Revolution Committee of Urumqi / Xinjiang Army Divisioni 1967/8. Two extraordinary hand-crafted parade banners ca. 110" x 84" 9 feet x 7 feet one slightly smaller. Each entirely composed of hook-work with colored yarns on white muslin backing. Slight age-toning and soil; a few threads loose but no significant losses; Near Fine condition overall. Folded and stored in original velvet draw-string carrying bags as found.<br /> <br /> Both banners bear the inscription "Chairman Mao Reviewing the Great Army of the Cultural Revolution" and depict the August 1966 mass rally at Tiananmen Gate where more than 10 million Red Guards from all over China converged to express their solidarity with Mao and his second-in-command Lin Biao. Additional text on the lower banner reads "Long Live Chairman Mao for ten thousand years" and "Sailing in the ocean requires a helmsman" -- both quotes from Lin Biao. The agencies responsible for the banners are identified in lower right of each: "Cultural Revolution Committee of Xinjiang Army Division 1968" upper banner and "Cultural Revolution Committee of Urumqi 1967" lower. <br /> <br /> The presence of Biao the figure to the right of Mao holding the Little Red Book in the top banner is of particular interest. Biao compiler of The Quotations of Chairman Mao popularly known as the "Little Red Book" and coiner of the phrase "Maoism" was probably more responsible than any other figure for creating the cult of personality around Mao particularly at the time of the Cultural Revolution. He quickly ascended Party ranks and was widely seen as Mao's obvious successor. But in 1971 Biao was exposed in the process of an apparent coup attempt the details of the event have never been made public. He died in an airplane crash attempting to leave China and from this point forward was officially condemned as a traitor by the Communist Party; any record of his achievements on behalf of the Revolution was expunged from the official record and any positive image of Biao would have been confiscated and destroyed as a matter of course - suggesting either that these banners left China prior to 1971 or that they remained out of sight until some later date. The second possibility is plausible given whence the banners issued - both were created by Red Guard branches in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region an extremely remote province in China's northwest corner and for many years the center of a militant independence movement for Uyghur and other Turkic minorities.

A good copy of a now remarkably scarce work profusely illustrated with remarkable black and white photographic portraits and panoramas and detailed chapters on everything from history geography culture and specific industries like shipping manufacturing agriculture and trade. Whilst earlier works in the series focussed exclusively on British colonial interests Western Australia Natal Ceylon and British Malaya the editor notes that: <br>"More than one half the imports and exports of China passes through the various Treaty Ports and it would have been a negation of one of the avowed objects of these publications if no attempt had been to show the present-day tendency of this trade and how the proportion borne by the British Empire compares with that of its competitors". The series served as a handsome soft power testament to British colonial might and aspiration. . Lloyd's Greater Britain Publishing Company, Ltd. hardcover
