Menu document.write('SIDEMENU') America Through the Spectacles of an Oriental Diplomat Wu Tingfang Chapter 16. Conjuring and Circuses The exhibition of skillful feats of horsemanship and acrobatic displays by juvenile actors, rope-dancing, high vaulting and other daring gymnastic feats seen in any of our present-day circuses are interesting, but not new. The Romans had many clever tight-rope walkers, and I do not think they used the long pole loaded at the ends to enable them to maintain their equilibrium, as do some later performers. Japanese tumblers are very popular and some of their tricks clever, but I think the Western public would find Chinese acrobats a pleasant diversion. With practice, it would seem as if when taken in hand during its supple years there is nothing that cannot be done with the human body. Sometimes it almost appears as if it were boneless, so well are people able by practice to make use of their limbs to accomplish feats which astonish ordinary persons whose limbs are less pliable. The trapeze gives opportunity for the display of very clever exhibition, of strength and agility; at first sight the gymnast would appear to be flying from one cross-bar to the other, and when watching such flights I have asked myself: "If a person can do that, why cannot he fly?" Perhaps human beings will some day be seen flying about in the air like birds. It only requires an extension of the trapeze "stunt". Travelling in the air by means of airships or aeroplanes is tame sport in comparison with bird-like flights, whether with or without artificial wings.

America Through The Spectacles Of An Oriental Diplomat Wu Tingfang America Through the Spectacles of an Oriental Diplomat Wu Tingfang Introduction: While this book is by no means famous, it is a remarkable chance to look at America of 1914 through the eyes of an outsider. Wu Tingfang shows evidence of having thought through many issues of relevance to the United States, and while some of his thoughts are rather odd such as his suggestion that the title of President be replaced by the title of Emperor; and others are unfortunately wrong such as his hopes for peace, written on the eve of the First World War; they are all well-considered and sometimes show remarkable insight into American culture. Even so, it should be remarked that he makes some errors, including some misunderstandings of American and Western ideas and an idealization of Chinese culture, and humanity in general, in some points while I do not wish to refute his claims about China, I would simply point out that many of the things he praises have been seen differently by many outside observers

"The time was when Americans and occidentals in general laughed at Chinese music, but this was due to their own ignorance of its full import and to the fact that they heard only the dirges of a Chinese funeral procession or the brassy noises that feature a celestial festival.

The stirring tom-tom, if not the ragtime which sets the occidental capering to-day, was common to the Chinese three or four hundred years ago. They heard it from the wild Tartars and Mongols heard it and rejected it, because it was primitive, untamed, and not to be compared with their own carefully controlled melodies. Mr. Emerson Whithorne, the famous British composer, who is an authority on oriental music, made this statement to the London music lovers last week:

AMERICA THROUGH THE SPECTACLES OF AN ORIENTAL DIPLOMAT By Wu Tingfang Project Gutenberg File Converted into HTML pages by Nalanda Digital Library Introduction: While this book is by no means famous, it is a remarkable chance to look at America of 1914 through the eyes of an outsider. Wu Tingfang shows evidence of having thought through many issues of relevance to the United States, and while some of his thoughts are rather odd such as his suggestion that the title of President be replaced by the title of Emperor; and others are unfortunately wrong such as his hopes for peace, written on the eve of the First World War; they are all well-considered and sometimes show remarkable insight into American culture.

Still, his observations allow us to see ourselves as others see us and regardless of accuracy those observations are useful, if only because they will allow us to better communicate.
