What reading level is Lights And Shadows of Chinese Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not caused by bad sanitation, nor by the absence of drainage. It was the work of malign forces that were quite free to work their evil purpose on the city. The most celebrated professors of the art of geomancy were invited to devise plans for meeting this difficulty, and they suggested that two immense pagodas should be built within the walls of the city, one on the east and the other on the west. This was accordingly done; all classes contributing liberally towards the expense. The pago...das towered above the streets and lands that lay within sight of them, and the people, dwelling beneath their shadow, felt themselves safe against the attack of demons and spirits that fled dismayed as they caught a glimpse of these mighty forms. To-day the city is a flourishing one. Its streets are crowded with traders from all parts of the province, and the fame of its scholars has travelled far and wide throughout the empire, all due, it is believed, to the mighty power exercised by these two stately pagodas.
