Excerpt from Chinese Researches: Chinese Chronology and CyclesThus, the ages preceding the date of the supposed monarch of China, Eu-hi, or even of his immediate pre decessors and successors are not here admitted as deserving critical examination, as erudite Chinese them selves exclude the times in which these personages are placed in their history, from any possible and accurate chronology of China. It is only with the chronology which begins with Hwangti, b.c. 2704, that the present researches are concerned as this is the earliest debate able epoch about which even Chinese agree that it can form a legitimate object of discussion, and it may be assumed as the era of China, with which their chronology starts and begins at his reign.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
