Excerpt from The China ShopI had stayed in the room with Felicity when Larry Munro died, because I wanted to make quite sure that I was not being humbugged again: I had twice seen him die upon the stage, and each time I believed in it with quiet satisfaction, until the shock of his subse quent entrance, splendid as ever, into Felicity's drawing-room. Such treatment naturally rendered me suspicious.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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. Also 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.And in this 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.
