To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the top of each were three or four wooden houses. On December 28 we arrived at Nan-chang-fu, and I proposed to call on the Fu, but Ah Fu said he " no save foreign man custom ; must call on he Chinese fashion. " So for the first time I treated THE PO-YANG LAKE 197 an official with proper Chinese etiquette. My card bearer marched through the town with his red portfolio full of red cards a foot long, stamped with large black Chinese characters, Wa Ho Po (Way, the peacemaker). My cards had been ...stamped at Shanghai with Chinese characters, black on red, under the direction of Mr. Little, who said it was customary to have some such motto suffixed to your name. Fortunately my name is one of the old Chinese family names, so I was generally received with joy and gladness by the officials. All names have to be cut down to a monosyllable in China ; thus Little is Li, Morris Mo, Jack Ja and so on. After I had waited for two hours for my cards to be properly digested, four soldiers and a green sedan chair arrived for me, and two soldiers and a blue chair for Ah Fu.
