‎CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA.‎

‎Woodblock used to print part of the Ten Commandments in Chinese and later exhibited in Britain.‎

‎China: c.1880. China on Thomas Hardy's doorstep Labels on both faces indicate that this artefact of missionary printing was owned by Henry Joseph Moule 1825-1904 a close friend of Thomas Hardy and the brother of two prominent China missionaries. Moule was the first curator of the Dorset County Museum where this woodblock was perhaps displayed to a curious public. Moule's seven brothers included George Evans Moule 1828-1912 consecrated the first Bishop of Mid-China in 1880 and Arthur Evans Moule 1838-1916 who was active in Ningbo and Shanghai and who also wrote prolifically on Chinese history and current affairs. The primary face has the text of the fourth to tenth commandments as given in Deuteronomy and the carving employs a songti character style with serifs. The largest of the labels reads "Block from which a page of a book has been printed; viz. part of the Ten Commandments. Printing is a much older art in China than in Europe but always was and is performed as by the pre-Gutenberg European printers viz. from wood-cut blocks. A rough block with wood-engraving tools accompanies this block; and also an inking brush and a printing pad. The press is used China." Moule is named on a small label on the reverse. Single wooden block 165 x 210 mm engraved in 8-columns on primary face one column of characters and page subdivisions on secondary face 3 manuscript labels the largest covering upper-left quadrant of primary face. Contemporary blue pencil note on secondary face. General signs of handling carved character distinct: very good. unknown‎

‎Qing Xuantong, China, Kaiser (Verfasser)‎

‎Ich war Kaiser von China / Pu Yi. Hrsg. und aus dem Chines. übers. von Richard Schirach und Mulan Lehner‎

‎Berlin : Verl. Neues Leben. Hardcover. Gut. Umfang/Format: 540 Seiten : Illustrationen 212 cm Anmerkungen: Lizenz des Hanser-Verlag München Wien Einbandart und Originalverkaufspreis: Gewebe 3-355-00848-6 Gewebe Sachgebiet: Geschichte und Historische Hilfswissenschaften Nach 47jähriger unumschränkter Herrschaft setzt die Kaiserinwitwe Ci Xi 1908 den kaum dreijährigen Pu Yi als Thronfolger ein. Ohne Berührung mit der Außenwelt wächst er in den Mauern der Verbotenen Stadt auf hin- und hergerissen zwischen vier Müttern behütet durch ein Heer von Eunuchen. Hinter den schillernden konfuzianisch-ehrbaren Fassaden gehören Intrigen und Verbrechen im Kampf um Macht und Einfluß ebenso zum Alltag wie prunkvolle verschwendungseifernde Zeremonien und sinnentleerte Rituale. Als Pu Yi von den republikanischen Kräften gestürzt wird ist er bereit mit allen Mitteln seine Wiedereinsetzung als Monarch zu betreiben. Lebensuntüchtig psychisch deformiert unfähig Entscheidungen zu treffen stellt er sich in den Dienst der Japaner wird zum Marionettenkaiser von Manzhouguo politisch entmündigt gedemütigt erpreßbar. Das Jahr 1945 sieht Pu Yi in sowjetischer Gefangenschaft Todesangst und Mißtrauen beherrschen ihn als er an ein chinesisches Straflager ausgeliefert wird_ Das neue China jedoch glaubt an die Möglichkeit der Umerziehung Die Autobiographie die Pu Yi geschrieben hat ist das Ergebnis eines langwierigen von Gewissensqualen und Selbstzweifeln getragenen Denkprozesses. Schonungslos und ungeschönt schildert sie die Metamorphose eines Mannes vom skrupellosen feudalen Despoten zu einem Menschen der um geistige und moralische Verantwortung ringt und schließlich als freier Bürger zu seiner wahren Identität findet. Bertolucci hat in seinem preisgekrönten Film Der letzte Kaisers dieses beispiellose Schicksal vor einem bewegten zeitge- schichtlichen Hintergrund dokumentiert. gutes Exemplar ordentlich Berlin : Verl.

‎PUBLIC HEALTH IN CHINA.‎

‎Collection of Imperial Maritime Customs Medical Reports.‎

‎Shanghai: Published at the Statistical Department of the Inspectorate General of Customs 1895-1905. I believe the Inspectorate aided by its Medical Officers can do good work A lengthy run of this valuable specialist compendium. Each issue had a circulation of around 500 copies only the majority sent to customs stations and libraries as well as diplomats and naval officers and copies are therefore rare in commerce. The Chinese Maritime Customs Service was founded in 1854 by Britain and other foreign powers to collect taxes on maritime trade for the Chinese government but its remit quickly expanded to include domestic customs administration the postal service waterway and harbour management and scientific research. In 1870 Inspector-General Sir Robert Hart instituted this series information to be provided by the medical officers assigned to customs stations. Issues were issued on a yearly or half-yearly basis sometimes in double numbers. "This network of epidemic monitoring and ecological investigation which was gradually built up by the medical officers and medical missionaries extended throughout East Asia and created a huge medical database" Gao p. 54. 17 works bound in 3 quarto 271 x 220 mm. With plates charts maps and diagrams throughout some folding and a few in colour; occasional text in French. Contemporary blue library cloth spines lettered in gilt top edges sprinkled brown other edges untrimmed original yellow wrappers bound in. Ex-Bodleian Library with its shelf labels on spines pencilled pressmarks and accession and cancellation ink stamps. Bindings lightly worn and rubbed one spine with abrasions to cloth occasional short closed tears internally the odd repair and loss but a very good usable collection.
