Books with title Wah Sing, Our Little Chinese Cousin

The royal barge was decorated with beautiful white and yellow umbrellas, many stories high. There was also a huge jewelled fan, such as no boat was allowed to carry except the king's.Other dragon-shaped boats followed the royal barge, but they were smaller and less beautiful. They were the king's guard-boats, and moved along in pairs.Many other interesting sights could be seen on the river this morning. Vessels were just arriving from distant lands, while here and there Chinese junks were scattered along the shores. Chin and his sister can always tell such boats from any others. An eye is always painted on the bow.A Chinaman who was once asked why he had the eye there, answered, "If no have eye, how can see?"It is so much pleasanter outside, it is no wonder that Chin and his sister do not spend much time indoors.After the royal procession had passed out of sight, Chie Lo went into the house and brought out her family of dolls. Of course they did not look like American dolls; you wouldn't expect it.Some of them were of baked mud and wore no clothes. Others were of stuffed cotton and made one think of the rag dolls of Chie Lo's white cousins. The father and mother dolls were dressed in strips of cloth wound around their bodies, just like the real grown-up people of Siam, but the baby dolls had no more clothes than the children of the country.Chie Lo talked to her dolls and sang queer little songs to them. She "made believe" they were eating, just as other little girls play, far away across the great ocean. Then she kissed them and put them to bed on tiny mattresses under the shady eaves of the house.Perhaps you wouldn't have known that Chie Lo was kissing them, however, for the fashions of Siam are quite different from those of our country. She simply touched the dolls' noses with her own little flat one and drew in a long breath each time she did so. That was her way of showing her love,—gentle little Chie Lo.Chin didn't laugh, of course. He was used to seeing his sister playing with her dolls, and as for the kissing, that was the only way of doing it that he knew himself.

Example in this ebookMany years ago there came to America two young men who were looked upon as the greatest curiosities ever seen in this country.They belonged to another race than ours. In fact, they were of two races, for one of their parents was a Chinese, and therefore of the Yellow Race, while the other was a Siamese, belonging to the Brown Race.These two young men left their home in far-away Siam and crossed the great ocean for the purpose of exhibiting the strange way in which nature had joined them together. A small band of flesh united them from side to side.Thus it was that from the moment they were born to the day of their death the twin brothers played and worked, ate and slept, walked and rode, at the same time.Thousands of people became interested in seeing and hearing about these two men. Not only this, but they turned their attention to the home of the brothers, the wonderful land of Siam, with its sacred white elephants and beautiful temples, its curious customs and strange beliefs.Last year the young prince of that country, wishing to learn more of the life of the white people, paid a visit to America. He was much interested in all he saw and heard while he was here.Now let us, in thought, return his visit, and take part in the games and sports of the children of Siam.We will attend some of their festivals, take a peep into the royal palace, enter the temples, and learn something about the ways and habits of that far-away eastern country.To be continue in this ebook.........................................................................................

Excerpt from Wah Sing, Our Little Chinese CousinThe hair on the back of his head is pulled back and braided into what we call a little queue. Wah Sing is very proud of his queue. It would be to him a most terrible punishment to have it cut off. He is only eight years old, but he looks like a little old man, He does not make a noise when he walks, for he has thick felt soles on his shoes. They are made of silk and embroidered with pretty flowers. He wears big trousers which come down to his ankles. He has on a tunic of blue silk with big sleeves, like a loose sack. He often uses these Sleeves for pockets. He can put many playthings in them. When he goes out doors he wears a silk cap on his head. He can have these lovely things to wear, for his papa is a rich man.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Book During China's Tang and Song dynasty, famous poets such as Li Bai wrote works of great importance. These were shī poems, which have lines with equal numbers of characters, as well as cí poems, which are a mixed line variety. Early-Modern Japanese literature (17th–19th centuries) developed comparable forms such as haiku, which was Japanese poetry that evolved from the ancient hokku mode. Original haiku masters included the Edo period poet Matsuo Bashō, and others influenced by Bashō include Kobayashi Issa and Masaoka Shiki. Also in this Book Written records about the history of China date from 1250 BC in the Shang dynasty. Subsequent ancient Chinese dynasties were the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BC), the Spring and Autumn period (722–476 BC) and Warring States period (476–221 BC). Imperial China encapsulated the: Qin dynasty (221–207 BC), Han dynasty (202 BC–AD 220), Three Kingdoms (AD 220–280), Jin dynasty (AD 266–420), Northern and Southern dynasties (AD 420–589), Sui dynasty (581–618), Tang dynasty (AD 618–907), Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (AD 907–960), Song, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia dynasties (AD 960–1234), Yuan dynasty (AD 1271–1368), Ming dynasty (AD 1368–1644), Qing dynasty (AD 1644–1911). Subsequently, there was the Republic of China, which was partly occupied by Imperial Japan between 1931 to 1945, and the Civil War that resulted in the Communist People's Republic of China in 1949. And in this Book China has a significant and growing industry. The rate of tourism has greatly expanded over the last few decades since the beginning of reform and opening. The emergence of a newly rich middle class and an easing of restrictions on movement by the Chinese authorities are both fueling this travel boom. China has become one of the world's most-watched and hottest inbound and outbound tourist markets. According to Xinhuanet, world is on the cusp of a sustained Chinese tourism boom. Between 1949 and 1974, the People's Republic was closed to all but selected foreign visitors. In the late 1970s, when Deng Xiaoping decided to promote tourism vigorously as a means of earning foreign exchange, China started to develop its tourist industry.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Many years ago there came to America two young men who were looked upon as the greatest curiosities ever seen in this country. They belonged to another race than ours. In fact, they were of two races, for one of their parents was a Chinese, and therefore of the Yellow Race, while the other was a Siamese, belonging to the Brown Race. These two young men left their home in far-away Siam and crossed the great ocean for the purpose of exhibiting the strange way in which nature had joined them together. A small band of flesh united them from side to side. Thus it was that from the moment they were born to the day of their death the twin brothers played and worked, ate and slept, walked and rode, at the same time. Thousands of people became interested in seeing and hearing about these two men. Not only this, but they turned their attention to the home of the brothers, the wonderful land of Siam, with its sacred white elephants and beautiful temples, its curious customs and strange beliefs. Last year the young prince of that country, wishing to learn more of the life of the white people, paid a visit to America. He was much interested in all he saw and heard while he was here.
