What reading level is The Open Court book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Medhurst as follows: "When worth is not honored the people may be kept from strife. "When rare articles are not valued the people are kept from theft." The same passage should read according to my views as fol- lows: "Not priding oneself on one*s worth forestalls the people's enyy. Not prizing treasures that are difficult to obtain keeps people from committing theft" Digitized by Google MEDHURST S TAO-TEH-KING. 1/9 In Chapter IV, Mr. Medhurst says, "The Tao is as emptiness, so are its operation...s. It resembles non-fullness." Here I fail to understand Mr. Medhurst. The original Chinese simply reads ir literal translation, "Tao is empty, and use of which appears nol exhausted." Accordingly I translate, "Reason is empty, but its use is inexhaustible." The same chapter contains the famous passage in which Lao Tze mentions the Lord in the sense of God. Mr. Medhurst translates, "I know not whose son it is. Its noutnenon was before the Lord." My version runs as follows, "I know not whose son it is.
