Mandarin Chinese The system was refined in 1912 by Herbert Allen Giles (18451935), a British diplomat in China. Until 1998, Wade-Giles was the main romanization system used http://www.omniglot.com/writing/mandarin.htm
Extractions: Writing systems abjads alphabets syllabic alphabets ... A-Z index Mandarin was originally the language spoken by Chinese officials, most of whom came from Beijing. Their language was called (Official Language) in Chinese. The word Mandarin comes, via Portuguese, from the Sanskrit word mandari (commander). The Portuguese used the term to refer both to the Chinese people and their language. Mandarin is known as (common language) or (Beijing language) in China, (national language) in Taiwan, and (Chinese language) in Singapore and Malaysia. Today Mandarin is the main language of government, the media and education in China and Taiwan, and one of the four official languages in Singapore. There are also significant numbers of Mandarin speakers in Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, the USA, Mongolia, Vietnam, Brunei, South Africa, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, UK and Mauritius. Mandarin is spoken by about 870 million people as a first language. An additional 180 million or so people speak it as a second language. The total number of speakers is over a billion.

The Indian Rope Trick This book appeared in translation by Herbert Allen Giles (18451935) in 1880 (London, T. De la Rue Co.). Theft of a Peach tells the story of a man at a http://skepdic.com/indianrope.html
Extractions: Click to order from Amazon This alleged trick, reportedly witnessed by thousands of people, involves an Indian fakir who throws a rope to the sky, but the rope does not fall back to the ground. Instead it mysteriously rises until the top of it disappears into thin air, the darkness, the mist, whatever. Now, that would be trick enough for most people, but this one allegedly goes on. A young boy climbs the unsupported rope, which miraculously supports him until he disappears into thin air, the mist, the darkness, whatever. That, too, would be trick enough for most of us, but this one continues. The fakir then pulls out a knife, sword, scimitar, whatever and climbs the rope until he, too, disappears into thin air, mist, darkness, whatever. Again, this would a great trick even if it stopped here. But, no. It continues. Body parts fall from the sky onto the ground, into a basket next to the base of the rope, whatever. Now, that's quite common in some neighborhoods and would not count as much of a trick. But the fakir allegedly then slides down the rope and empties the basket, throws a cloth over the scattered body parts, whatever, and the boy miraculously reappears with all his parts in the right places. That would be a great trick, especially since it must be done in the open without the use of engineers, technicians, electronics, satellite feeds, television cameras, whatever.

Western Linguists And The Languages Of China linguistic research, including Joseph Edkins (18231905), Edward Harper Parker (1849-1926), Thomas Wade (1818-1895) and Herbert Allen Giles (1845-1935). http://www.ganesha-publishing.com/dic_series.htm
Extractions: The University of Hong Kong The focus of this new series of reprints is the substantial body of work produced by missionary scholars and others who attempted to catalogue, describe, and analyse the languages of China from the early nineteenth century onwards. The earliest European linguists to enter China were Jesuit missionaries such as Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) and Nicholas Trigault (1577-1628) who arrived in the Middle Kingdom in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, but, after the suppression of the Jesuits in China in the mid-eighteenth century, there occurred a hiatus in Chinese linguistics that lasted until the arrival of successive waves of Protestant linguists from the early nineteenth century onwards.

Extractions: Chinese Art and Architecture: An Annotated List of Recent Works in Western Languages Go to Table of Contents Introduction The Chinese art studies in the West began as early as the mid-19th century, with the focus mainly on ceramics, other decorative arts, and some paintings then known to the West. The intellectual and methodological developments in art history and Sinology, but more profoundly the growth of systematic archaeology in China which resulted in numerous datable materials, provided tremendous impetus to the study of Chinese art, with researchers and art historians making great strides, discovering, confirming, re-constructing and reinterpreting art in China. Archaeological sites and Buddhist caves were visited and documented, translations of Chinese texts and catalogues of Chinese art were published, in which Japanese scholars took the lead with the Western scholars not much behind. In Europe and America, earlier scholars struggled at the beginning to interpret early Chinese art with limited available data. It was the philologers, such as Bernard Karlgren, who first studied inscriptions on bronze vessels, jades and other early art. Max Loehr (1903-1988) was the first one in the U.S.; he wrote The Bronze Styles of the Anyang Period (1953), dealing with the stylistic evolution of decoration on bronze vessels. Later studies by scholars, such as K.C. Chang, Robert Bagley and Jessica Rawson, would focus more on the origin and meaning of decoration, regional styles and the relationship between bronzes and political power.
