What reading level is The Chinese As They Are book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One day I told a Chinese preacher about our desire, and he looked up to the crowd and said, " Are vou vile men with no idea of cus- toms?" Then all left us alone. It is not cus- tomary to watch others eat In that country. I learned the lesson of appealing to custom if I wanted to get results.
69 70 THE CHINESE AS THEY AKE Many of their customs are strange to us, yet like the customs of most countries there are rea- sons why these customs have obtained. Fashions are not controlled by money as so... often in the West. The question of need and propriety has more to do with them than with us. The custom of holding the family responsible for the acts of its members has had a wholesome effect on cer- tain characters. The family and the clan must be responsible for the behaviour of the bad charac- ters. This forces family control and punishment of the wayward ones. In the modern government this custom is passing away and each is held re- sponsible for his own deeds and not that of an- other. The emphasis is passing from the clan to the individual.
