What reading level is Chinese Characteristics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The only excep- tions to this agglomeration of Chinese dwellings with which we are acquainted, is in the case of some mountainous regions where the land is so barren that it is incapable of supporting more than one or two families, the people being so poor that they have no dread of thieves, and the province of Szechuan, in which, as Mr. Baber mentions, " the farmer and his work- people live, it may be said, invariably in farm-houses on their land, and the tendency is to the separation rather t...han to the congregation of dwellings." If this exception to the general rule was made because the expectation of peace in that re- mote province was thought to be greater than in others, as Baron von Richthofen suggested, it has proved, as Mr. Baber remarks, an expectation which has suffered many and grievous disappointments, especially — although after a long-previous peace — ^in the days of the T'ai-p'ing rebels.
A most significant illustration of the Chinese — and also Oriental — suspicion found in social life is to be seen in the theory and practice in regard to woman.
