What reading level is The New China; a Traveller's Impressions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Near a small gate a vagabond, dirty lama priest, in a soiled mauve cloak, with his face unwashed and sores on his shaven head, begs for min-chHen, gate-money. He will not let me pass unless I pay a mao-chHen, a silver piece worth ten American cents. Now I enter a square court full of strange trees with twisted branches, dying from exhaustion ; the stones are overgrown with weeds, I remember that Pierre Loti, in his " Derniers jours de P^kin," ' called this a petit pare ' Pierre Loti, "Les derni...ers jours de Pekin." Paris, Calmann- Levy. (IV. " Dans la Villa Impdriale.") 98 The Lama Temple fundbre, and really it has something about it of death and oblivion. A feeling of tranquillity comes over me. This is not fancy. I felt it in all the large monasteries and temples in and around Peking which I visited, most strongly in the Huang Ssu, the Yellow Temple, outside the town.
By the concentrated thought of really pious monks, by the mystical sound of gongs tuned to particular tones, by the many prayers and hymns, and especially by the sacred mantras,^ the astral atmosphere of such a temple is cleansed from all impure influences and evil elementals.
