A Novelist on China Far Eastern Book and Journal Lists Public Library, Newark, N. J. From “IN RED AND GOLD,” by Samuel Merwin Copyright, 1921. Used by special permission of the publishers, The Bobbs-Merrill Company 4 Page 7: A mighty river, indeed, is the Yangtze. During half the year battle-ships of reasonably deep draught may reach Hankow. In the heyday of the sailing trade clippers out of New York and blunt lime- juicers out of Liverpool were any day sights from the bund there. Through a busy and not seldom bloody century the merchants of a clamorous outside world have roved the great river (where yellow merchants of the Middle Kingdom, in sampan, barge and junk, roved fifty centuries before them) with rich cargoes of tea (in leaden chests that bore historic ideographs on the enclosing matting)— with hides and horns and coal from Hupeh and furs and musk from far-away Szechuen, with soya beans and rice and bristles and nutgalls and spices and sesamum, with varnish - and tung oil and vegetable tallow, with cotton, ramie, rape and hemp, with copper, quicksilver, slate, lead and antimony, with porcelains and silk. Along this river that today divides an empire into two vast and populous domains a thousand thousand for¬ tunes have been gained and lost, rebellions and wars have raged, famines have blighted whole peoples. Forts, pagodas, and palaces have lined its banks. The gilded barges of emperors have drifted idly on its broad bosom. Exquisite painted beauties have found mirrors in its neighboring canals. Page 35: His own thoughts were ranging swiftly back over two thousand years, to the strong civilization of the Han Dynasty, when disciplined Chinese armies kept open the overland route to Bactria and Parthia, that the silks and porcelains and pearls might travel safely to waiting Roman hands; to the later, richer, riper centuries of Tang and Sung, after Rome fell, when Chinese civilization stood alone, a majestic fabric in an otherwise crumbled and chaotic world—when certain of the noblest landscapes and portraits ever painted were finding expression, when philosophers held high dreams of building conflicting dogma into a single structure of comprehensive and serene faith. The Chinese alone, down the uncounted centuries, had held their racial integrity, their very language. Surely, at some mystical but seismic turning of the racial tide, they would rise again among the nations. Page 225: First I must tell ,you this—the Chinese civilization has been—in certain aspects still remains—the finest the world has known. With one exception, doubtless—the Grecian. * * * The Chinese worked out their social philosophy long ago. They have lived through a great deal that we have only begun, from tribal struggles through conquest and imperialism and civil war to a sort of List 35 — p. 2 republicanism and a fine feeling for peace and justice. And then, when they had given up primitive desire for fighting they were con¬ quered by more primitive Northern tribes—first the Mongols, and later the Manchus. The Manchus have been absorbed, have become more or less Chinese. ** * * The Chinese are the most democratic people in the world. No ruler can long resist the quiet force of the scores of thousands of villages and neighborhoods of the empire. They are the most reasonable people in the world. You can no more judge them from the so-called Tongs in New York and San Francisco, made up of a few Cantonese expatriates, than you can judge the culture of England by the beachcombers of the South Seas. They developed, centuries before Europe, one of the finest schools of painting the world has so far known. There is no school of reflec¬ tive, philosophical poetry so ripe and so fine as the Chinese. They have had fifty Wordsworths, if no Shakespeare. You will find Americans confusing them with the Japanese, whom they resemble only remotely. All that is finest in Japan—in art and literature—came originally from China. * * * What I am trying to make clear to you is that in old Central China —in Hang Chow, and along this fertile Yangtze Valley, and northwest through the Great Plain to Kai Feng-fu and Sian-fu in Shensi—where the older people flourished—germinated the thought and the art, the humanity and the faith, that have been a source of culture to half the world during thousands of years. But you can not hope to understand this culture through Western eyes. For you will be looking out of a Western background. You must actually surrender your background. It is no good looking at a Chinese landscape or a portrait with eyes that have known only Euro¬ pean painting. Can you see why? Because all through European paint¬ ing runs the idea of copying nature—somehow, however subtly, however influenced by the nuances of color and light, copying. But the Chinese master never copied a landscape. He studied it, felt it, surrendered his soul to it, and then painted the fine emotion that resulted. And, remember this, he painted with a conscious technical skill as fine as that of Velasquez or Whistler or Monet. Page 324: Behind the crumbling of the empire, underlying the torn and bleeding surface of Chinese life, lay a tradition finer, he was to believe until his dying day, than any so far developed in the truculent West—a delicate responsiveness to beauty in nature and art, a reflec¬ tive quality, an instinct for peace—it was all these at once, and more; a blend of art in living and living in art; a finish that was exquisite in concept, a sensitiveness that lifted the soul of man above the ugly fact. To the Americans must be preached the gospel of sensitive thought, of reflective enjoyment of the beautiful. Those old master painters of Tang and Sung breathed beauty; it was sweet air in their lungs; whereas in America beauty was too often like a garment to be bought in a shop and worn for show. Page 338: “It’s been an interesting journey for me, Rocky. It's enabled me to understand somewhat the delicate international situation List 35 — p. 3 out here. I couldn’t see why our agents weren’t accomplishing more. The trouble is, of course, that every square foot of China is staked out by the European nations. If you don’t believe that, just get a con¬ cession from the Chinese Government—for a big job—water power development, mining railway building, or an industrial monoply—that part of it isn’t so hard—and then try to carry it through. You’d find out fast enough who are the real owners of China. And those owners would never let you start.” Who Own Asia and the Pacific Islands?

The legation quarter in Peking is a foreign military camp. The inland waters of China are patrolled by foreign gunboats. The railways connecting the capital and the coast (under foreign control) are guarded by foreign garri¬ sons. Troops of foreign nations are stationed in inland cities. China’s chief ports are owned or controlled by foreign powers. The customs, salt internal revenue, wine and spirit revenue and the post and telegraph service are controlled by foreigners. China is pockmarked by foreign concessions and pierced by foreign jurisdiction; and steadily China’s domain is dwindling under the relentless pressure of alien penetration.
