About this book
When I Was a Boy in China is by Yan Phou Lee. A chapter numbered VII is headed Religions, and the writer says there are three systems of religion: Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. The writer says the Chinese do not divide the year into weeks, nor do they have Christmas or Easter.
Buddhist priests and nuns live apart from other people in monasteries and nunneries, and have their heads entirely shaven. The writer says that on his christening-day friends came to see him and to congratulate his family, and a feast was made in his honor. The writer says he took up the Great Learning, written by a disciple of Confucius, and then the Doctrine of the Mean, by the grandson of Confucius.
