What reading level is Modern China : Thirty-One Short Essays On Subjects Which Illustrate the Present Condition of the Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First there were . thirty-six kingdoms. These were afterwards in- creased to fifty. Probably at that time we may suppose that the inhabited oases in the new province were wider than now and more numerous. Desert sands • tend to spread with the lapse of time.
The pomegranate and vine have appa- rently disappeared recently from Hami, where they were a thousand years ago a very prominent object, as we learn by comparing Hiuen Chwang's travels and those of Fa-hien with modern Rus- sian accounts. On...e of the chief peculiarities in the Sinkeang province, as it is now termed, has been the change- of religions. Before Buddhism there was the religion of the old Turk- ish stock, mixed with Persian elements.
This was changed for a Hindoo religion, because a northern race conquerednorth- western India. Buddhism spread mo- nasteries over the oases of that country and they remained there from ".the second to the eighth century, when Mahommedanism drove out Buddhism by its superior ' vigour. The Turkish population submitted to the brighter intellectual force of the Persians, who had then become devout Mahommedans.
