"Reverence the characters," is an injunction of Confucius which no Chinaman neglects to follow.
But the Methodist missionaries decided to give the name "Peking University" to their schools, so the already existing university had to alter its name to "Government University." The case is exactly as if a collection of old-fashioned Chinamen had established themselves in London to teach the doctrine of Confucius, and had been able to force London University to abandon its name to them.
The religion of Laou-tze comes next for our consideration. Its followers are called Taouists, from the word Taou, Reason, the active principle, eternal reason. Its founder lived about the same time as Confucius, who is said to have had an interview with him.
The type-case is usually long, for the purpose of allowing all the type-pieces to be spread out. The type runs up and down in a column, and you read from right to left as in Hebrew or other Shemitic languages. The characters are as old in form as the days of Confucius. The "Chung Sai Yat Po" has a very large circulation and finds its way to the islands of the Pacific Ocean and into China.
BURGE-LUBIN. Why shouldn't they, if they want to? BARNABAS. They don't want to. They will do it in cold blood because their children will live three hundred years. It mustnt be allowed. CONFUCIUS. You cannot prevent it. There is no law that gives you power to interfere with them. BARNABAS. If they force me to it I will obtain legislation against marriages above the age of seventy-eight.
In originality and breadth of view he is superior to Confucius, and must be regarded as one of the greatest men Asiatic nations have produced. CHINESE RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY. Three periods may be distinguished in the history of the religious and philosophical progress of China.
But no one opened his mouth. The teacher of natural history was gazing at the crow which had hopped on the roof of the nearby building. The teacher of Confucius was folding and unfolding the hectograph sheet. Porcupine was still staring at me. If a meeting was so nonsensical an affair as this, I would have been better absent taking a nap at home.
It must be borne in mind that a hostile emperor of the preceding dynasty had ordered the books of Confucius to be burned; but they were secreted by his faithful admirers in the walls of houses and beneath the ground.
As to Corea, though in the days of Confucius it was unknown to the Chinese, the legends of both countries ascribe the founding of its civilization and monarchy to a Chinese minister exiled there during the twelfth century B. C. Japanese legendary history goes back to 600 B. C.; that is, to the closing of the Age of the Mysteries, and the opening of that of the Religions: I imagine that means that about that time a break with history occurred, and the past was abolished: a thing we shall see happen in ancient China presently.
There is still manifest, however, some desire on the part of the ever-wise King Solomon and my friend Confucius to know how you deduce that Kidd has sailed for London, from the cigar end which you hold in your hand." "I can easily satisfy their curiosity," said Sherlock Holmes, genially. "I believe I have already proven that it is the end of Kidd's cigar. The marks of the teeth have shown that.
