More about the book

Herbert Allen Giles significantly influenced the study of Chinese language and culture through his long tenure as a professor at Cambridge University and his diplomatic service in China. He is best known for modifying the Wade-Giles romanisation system, which became a standard for Chinese transliteration. His scholarly contributions include translations of key texts such as the Analects of Confucius and the Tao Te Ching, as well as the publication of a comprehensive Chinese-English dictionary in 1892, making Chinese literature more accessible to Western audiences.
