Book Description
Excerpt from The Chinese Reader's Manual: A Handbook of Biographical, Historical, Mythological, and General Literary Reference The title "Chinese Reader's Manual" has been given to the following work in the belief that it will be found useful in the hands of students of Chinese literature, by elucidating in its First Part many of the personal and historical allusions, and some portion at least of the conventional phraseology, which unite to form one of the chief difficulties of the language; whilst in its remaining sections information of an equally essential nature is presented in a categorical shape. The wealth of illustration furnished to a Chinese writer by the records of his long-descended past is a feature which must be remarked at even the most elementary stage of acquaintance with the literature of the country. In every branch of composition, ingenious parallels and the introduction of borrowed phrases, considered elegant in proportion to their concise and recondite character, enjoy in Chinese style the same place of distinction that is accorded in European literature to originality of thought or novelty of diction. The Chinese are not, indeed, singular in the taste for metaphor or quotation adopted from the events or from the masterpieces of expression in the past. No European writer - it is needless to observe - can dispense with illustrations drawn from a multitude of earlier sources, and in even the most familiar language fragments of history and legend lie embedded, almost unperceived. What with ourselves, however, is at the most an exceptional feature, takes with the Chinese the character of a canon of literary art.

Book Description
"The title Chinese Reader's Manual has been given to the following work in the belief that it will be found useful in the hands of students of Chinese literature, by elucidating in its First Part many of the personal and historical allusions, and some portion at least of the conventional phraseology, which unite to form one of the chief difficulties of the language; whilst in its remaining sections information of an equally essential nature is presented in a categorical shape. ... No European writer -- it is needless to observe -- can dispense with illustrations drawn from a multitude of earlier sources, and in even the most familiar language fragments of history and legend lie embedded, almost unperceived. What with ourselves, however, is at the most an exceptional feature, takes with the Chinese the character of a canon of literary art. Intricacies of allusion and quotation present themselves, consequently, at every turn in the written language ; to furnish a clue to some of which, and at the same time to bring together from various sources an epitome of historical and bio graphical details much needed by every student, have been the principal objects of the present work. ... [T]he author is encouraged to hope that his work may prove not wholly without use as a contribution to the general stock of knowledge of Chinese subjects, and as a help toward familiarity with a vast and important body of literature."--From the preface.
