Trang 93 - A part of the victim, or of its blood, was thrown into a ditch in order that the spirit of the earth may bear witness to the deed; the rest of the blood was rubbed upon t'i- lips of the parties concerned, and also scattered upon tie documents by way of inspection.5...
Trang 112 - ... made for themselves lasting reputations as legislators. One, Li-k'wei, instituted a new land system, very like that proposed for China by Sir Robert Hart a dozen years ago, under which every available acre was worked out for adequate but fair taxation. He also collected into six books or main heads all that was best in the laws of the different feudal states...
Trang 310 - Wen took virtue as his guide and thus gradually pacified the four quarters of the world.' It also says: 'The methods of King Wu secured the confidence of all the other countries.' Where were the written laws in those times? When people begin to get the contentious spirit in them, they will have done with the principles of propriety and only stickle for the letter; they will haggle upon every tiny point accessible to knife's...

Trang 310 - The methods of King Wu secured the confidence of all the other countries.' Where were the written laws in those times? When people begin to get the contentious spirit in them, they will have done with the principles of propriety and only stickle for the letter; they will haggle upon every tiny point accessible to knife's edge and awl's tip. We shall witness a flood of litigation; bribery and corruption will be rampant." This insistence on the inexpediency of the...
Trang 83 - I treated kindly. The callous Greek and still more brutal Roman system, not to mention the infinitely more cowardly and shocking African slavery abuses of eighteenth-century Europe and nineteenth-century America, have never been known in China: no such thing as a slave revolt has ever been heard of there.
Trang 90 - It is the father's fault if, at the binding up of the hair (eight years of age), boys do not go to the teacher, though it may be the mother's fault if, before that age, they do not escape the dangers of fire and water : it is their own fault if, having gone to the teacher, they make no progress : it is their friends...
Trang 310 - The advent of a written law has on three occasions connoted a decay in government. * * * You are now proceeding to embody three special collections in a new popular code, which you have had cast in metal characters. If you are doing it with a view to pacify the people, surely you will not find this an easy matter. The Book of Odes says: 'King Wen took virtue as his guide and thus gradually pacified the four quarters of the world.
Trang 113 - River: the most curious feature about them is that from below the waterlevel, right up to the top, or as far as the eye can reach, the stone looks as though it had been chipped away with powerful cheese-scoops ; it seems almost impossible that any operation of nature can have fashioned rocks in this way ; on the other hand, what tools of sufficient hardness, driven by what great force...
Trang 2 - Nan province, and trend in an easterly direction towards the intricate Hwai River system. The River Hwai, which has a great history in the course of Chinese development, was in quite recent times taken possession of by the Yellow River for some years, and since then the Grand Canal and the lakes between them have so impeded its natural course that it may be said to have no natural delta at all ; to be dissipated in a...
