1895188172Shanghai: Jiangnan zhizao ju "Jiangnan Arsenal" 1895. Turning China into an economic powerhouse First edition issued by Shanghai's Jiangnan Arsenal as part of the late-Qing "self-strengthening movement" during which a wave of radical commercial scientific and legal changes aimed to rapidly modernize China's economy. The text was overseen by John Fryer 1839-1928 who translated more Western scientific works into Chinese than any other 19th-century sinologist. In 1868 Fryer was recruited by the Jiangnan Arsenal a hotbed of political and military reform to join its dedicated Translation Office. Over the next three decades he produced dozens perhaps even hundreds of publications for the use of trainee officers and scientists. For the present work Fryer co-operated with the Westernized engineer Zhong Tianwei 1840-1900 and drew inspiration from provisions introduced in successive British parliamentary Acts regulating merchant shipping. Sections discuss systems of signal lights how ships can safely pass alongside each other and best practices for pilots and navigators. Quarto 295 x 175 mm ff. 1 38 25.

He was an English translator at Ta Kung Pao newspaper and subsequently moved to Hong Kong with the newspaper and worked as a copy editor at Ta Kung Pao and Hsin Wan Pao newspapers. At this time he also took on the job as scenarist-director at the Great Wall Movie Enterprises Ltd. and Phoenix Film Company in the late 1950s focusing on play writing and in 1955 he began to write swordplay fiction. In the meantime he started the Ming Pao Daily News with Shen Baoxin in 1959 acting as its director. Since 1966 he has expanded his publishing network considerably. The immense popularity of his martial-arts novels continues unabated having sold more than 1 billion copies making him the most popular living Chinese author. He has more than redefined the genre. Critic Simon Elegant has compared the power of the novels to a Chinese Three Musketeers a Patrick O'Brian naval series and George MacDonald's Flashman combined. ; "Kung fu together with Chinese medicine calligraphy painting playing Go and strumming the seven-stringed zither constitute the core of the Chinese cultural essence. All these elements appear in the novels and their placement firmly in the myth-shrouded past combine to produce a kind of 'cultural euphoria' in Chinese readers that cannot be found anywhere else in modern Chinese literature."--John Minford. ; in multicolored pictorial dustjackets with classic watercolor scenes color-coded by novel and stiff paper wrappers ; text in Chinese with many illustrations; Paginations: Bi xue jian 2 v. 4 828 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.; Series: Jin Yong zuo pin ji ; 3-4 ISBN: 7108006677; 9787108006677 ; LCCN:2007-556539 ; OCLC: 32447936 -- Shen diao xia lu 4 v. 4 1564 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. ; Series: Jin Yong zuo pin ji ; 9-12 ISBN: 7108006669 set; 9787108006660 set ; LCCN: 2007-556538 ; OCLC: 32447953 -- Xue shan fei hu 4 394 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. ; Series: Jin Yong zuo pin ji ; 13 ; ISBN: 7108006642; 9787108006646 ; LCCN:2007-558748 ; OCLC: 32752984 -- Fei hu wai zhuan 2 v. 4 726 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. ; Series: Jin Yong zuo pin ji ; 14-15 ISBN: 7108006650; 9787108006653 ; LCCN:2007-558749 ; OCLC: 32752899 -- Yi tian tu long ji 4 v. 4 1594 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.

1880183225China: c.1880. China on Thomas Hardy's doorstep Labels on both faces indicate that this artefact of missionary printing was owned by Henry Joseph Moule 1825-1904 a close friend of Thomas Hardy and the brother of two prominent China missionaries. Moule was the first curator of the Dorset County Museum where this woodblock was perhaps displayed to a curious public. Moule's seven brothers included George Evans Moule 1828-1912 consecrated the first Bishop of Mid-China in 1880 and Arthur Evans Moule 1838-1916 who was active in Ningbo and Shanghai and who also wrote prolifically on Chinese history and current affairs. The primary face has the text of the fourth to tenth commandments as given in Deuteronomy and the carving employs a songti character style with serifs. The largest of the labels reads "Block from which a page of a book has been printed; viz. part of the Ten Commandments. Printing is a much older art in China than in Europe but always was and is performed as by the pre-Gutenberg European printers viz. from wood-cut blocks. A rough block with wood-engraving tools accompanies this block; and also an inking brush and a printing pad. The press is used China." Moule is named on a small label on the reverse. Single wooden block 165 x 210 mm engraved in 8-columns on primary face one column of characters and page subdivisions on secondary face 3 manuscript labels the largest covering upper-left quadrant of primary face.

Chicago: October League 1976. 16 pages. 5.5" x 8.5" illustrated with black and white photos of Women's Day marches the woman are all performing tasks at work on the image. The Liberation of Women in China. Printed by Highland Park: Internationals Socialists n.d. 49 pages. 5.5" x 8.5" inches. Original wrappers Pamphlet. Argues that the liberation of women in China had become subordinate to the needs of the state and industrialization. Highland Park: International Socialists n.d. circa 1970s. Original printed wrappers 49 pages. 5.5 × 8.5 inches. Tables footnotes.<br /> <br /> A scarce radical pamphlet issued by the International Socialists examining the gender politics of post-revolutionary China. The work critiques the Chinese Communist Party's claims to women's emancipation contending that the liberation of women had been made subordinate to the demands of state-building and industrial growth. In opposition to official party rhetoric the pamphlet situates women's issues within the broader political economy arguing that while the Communist revolution opened limited avenues for women's participation in the labor force and public life genuine equality was sacrificed to the state's overriding needs of production modernization and social control. Tables and statistical data are included to support its argument with footnotes directing readers to both Chinese sources and Western Marxist analysis. Pamphlets from the International Socialists are relatively uncommon especially those with sustained attention to global feminist and socialist struggles. This text is significant in documenting how New Left and Trotskyist organizations in the United States attempted to reframe Chinese Communism through a feminist lens situating women's emancipation not as a fulfilled revolutionary promise but as a deferred and compromised project. For institutional collections it offers an important perspective on the intersections of gender Marxism and internationalism in the mid-20th century while also reflecting the intellectual currents of American socialist critique. Mild wear to wrappers otherwise well-preserved. Overall. unknown
