The British colonial administrator and scholar Sir Reginald Fleming
Johnston (1874-1938) travelled extensively in the Far East,
developing a deep interest in Chinese culture and spirituality. His
fourteen-year posting to the relatively quiet port of Weihaiwei
allowed him to indulge this interest and to travel to places not
usually visited by Europeans. Well acquainted with the philosophy
of Confucius, Johnston had happily quoted the Confucian classics in
his court judgments at Weihaiwei. In 1918, he was appointed tutor
to the young Puyi (1906-67), who had been China's last emperor
before his forced abdication. This 1934 publication, developed from
lectures, presents an accessible interpretation of the tenets and
fortunes of Confucianism, notably the impact of the New Culture
Movement on the philosophy's place in Chinese society. Among other
works, Johnston's Buddhist China (1913) and Twilight in the
Forbidden City (1934) are also reissued in this series.
