Ten vols. 8vo, orig. wrappers, old stitching. [China]: 1909-12. An important, one-of-a-kind trilingual textbook. In 1905, the Qing government took the radical move to abolish the civil service examinations, which had been contested for a long time and reformed in 1901. Rather than a system of examinations supported by schools preparing students for the lowest level of the exams, the court instituted a tiered system of schools, from elementary to advanced, with students across the country using new textbooks. Our book is a product of the extension of this new educational regime to "present-day" Inner Mongolia. One of the two textbooks chosen for the new Chinese schools and the most popular was Zuixin chudeng xiaoxue guowen jiaokeshu ??????????? [The Up-to-Date National Language Reader for Lower Primary Schools], which Jiang Weiqiao (1873-1958) and Zhuang Yu (1878-1940) published in 1905 with the Commercial Press in Shanghai. Jiang was a low-level examination graduate who had been exposed to Western learning through the publications of the Jiangnan arsenal. After a first career as a teacher in new-style schools, he entered the translation department at the Commercial Press in 1903, where he planned and wrote many of the textbooks that the press published. His later career was spent in education administration at the national, provincial, and university levels. Zhuang was trained in geography and entered the Commercial Press on Jiang's recommendation. He too later worked in school administration while continuing to write textbooks. The purpose of Jiang and Zhuang's book was, as they explained in the Preface, to "provide everyone basic moral values and knowledge and enable them to learn about important thoughts of ancient sages and academics, arts, and skills of all countries in the world." Like others in the genre, this book "touched on a wide range of topics, such as science, history, geography, and civics" and included "the newest terms concerning every subject at the time and reflected the most recent findings of scholars" (He, pp. 100-01). As the Qing government attempted to bring the empire's Inner Asian possessions closer to China proper in the face of foreign aggression, new schools were instituted in parts of Inner Mongolia. What textbooks to use presented a problem. Ungde (or Rongde), who was appointed as honorary supervisor of the Fengtian Mongolian Language School in what is now the city of Shenyang, was aware of this issue. Ungde also taught Mongolian at the school. He noted that the school used Gao E's ?? Lizhi jiyao ???? [Essentials of Administrative Discipline], which Tongui ?? had translated into Manchu, and Meng boo ?? in turn translated into Mongolian. Gao's text had been written sometime before his death in 1814, and it was not a textbook fit for molding an informed citizenry in the early 20th century. Ungde therefore decided to translate Zuixin chudeng xiaoxue guowen jiaokeshu into Mongolian. Mongolia had traditionally been administered in the two languages of Mongolian and Manchu, the Qing dynastic language, and not in Chinese. Accordingly, most of the Mongolian pedagogical literature that circulated in China as opposed to the Tibeto-Mongolian literature that circulated in the Buddhist milieus of Mongolia itself contained Manchu as a bridge language between Chinese and Mongolian. Ungde felt the need to keep Manchu in the new textbook as well. Translating a textbook concerned with modern industrial society meant that Ungde had to invent many new terms for which there were no Manchu or classical Mongolian equivalents. Scholars who have studied this issue in reference to Manchu have pointed out new words such as "society" (ba-i acan), "civilization" (u genggiyen), "automobile" (sukdun-i sejen), "machine" (urdere tetun), "telephone" (talkiyan-i gisun), and "telegraph" (talkiyan-i serkin) (Qu, p. 62). Before the translation received official endorsement, Ungde translated four volumes between 1907 and 1909. These four were subsequently published, along with two more in 1909, for distribution to the new schools. In 1910, Volumes 5 to 8 were published. Volumes 9 and 10 appeared only at the very end of 1912, when the Manchu dynasty had already fallen and China had been declared a republic. These different printings were presented to the throne and subsequently the president's office. Reportedly, an additional eight volumes were translated, but they were never printed and do not appear to have survived (Li, first article, p. 41). Our copy is a later printing. The Preface contains the list of Ungde's students who assisted by writing the fair copy of the book, which is missing in the early printings (Li, second article, p. 67). The book is rare today; we are able to only locate four copies in North American libraries (Walravens, no. 248, WorldCat). Nice set, with minor browning. Preserved in two hantao. ?

First edition, first printing, scarce in commerce, of this attractive visual paean to the sacred Wutai mountains and their famous monasteries. Since the sixth century, Buddhists have revered Wutai, believing that the path to enlightenment can be found among its monumental peaks. WorldCat records just the National Library of China's copy. The Commercial Press's Scenic China series, featuring some of the country's most famous natural and religious landmarks, tapped into a new vogue for domestic travel and pilgrimage in Republican China. The series was aimed at Chinese and foreigners alike, featuring bilingual instructions to help visitors plan excursions. Jiang Weiqiao (1873-1958), a leading historian of Buddhism and an official in the Ministry of Education, visited Wutai in October 1917 during an official inspection tour of schools in Shanxi province. His photographs capture its intricate temples, mysterious peaks, and calming solitude. Landscape quarto. With 24 collotype plates after photographs by the author, text in English and Chinese partially printed in red. Original drab card wrappers, gatherings wire-stitched and glued into wrappers as issued, front cover lettered in gilt and red with red vignette of mountain pagoda. Spine sometime consolidated, front cover bright with a little soiling and small chip previously repaired on verso with adhesive tape, rear wrapper toned, internally bright. A very good copy.…
