W. BALLER PBKrAUKU FOR THE l\^L' OF JUMoli MEMUKHiS OF lUE UUINA lyiASD MJhfilON SHANGHAI CHINA INLAND MISSION AND AMERICAN PRESBYTEKIAN MISSION TUESS Main Lib. JOHN FRYER CHINESE LIBRARY PRICE TWO DOLLARS AND A HALF. PREFACE. A FKW years ago au effort was made to aid newly-arrived missionaries in tlieir early studies, by the publication of a small Vocabulary containing all the characters found in the Gospel of St. John. It was arranged under the Radicals and contained such expressions as would be useful in mission work. Since then many have expressed a desire for something similar on a larger scale — for a portable volume containing- enough information to enable anyone to read the New Testament. The present work (the tirst New Testament Vocabulary published in the Mandarin Dialect) has been prepared to meet this desire, and to seek by the analysis of characters to render intelligible what seems a maze of mystery to a new-comer. Perhaps a few words of explanation of the Analytical Method may not be out of place here. Without attempting to discuss the principle according to which at first Chinese characters were written, or how they assumed their present form, Que fact is very evident ; viz., that a large number of them may be roughly divided into two parts; and that these parts constantly recur in different characters. And a further fact is also apparent; viz., that what is in many cases the smaller part — the Radical — has been added with a view to give a general clue to one or more of the principal meanings of the cliaracter in question. The main pare of the character — the Primitive or Phonetic — thus bears a slight analogy to the root of a word in English, while the Radical has a distant resemblance to a prefix or a suffix. Hence, if the Primitive is known the task of learning the character of which it forms a part is greatly simplified. This is evident for a two-fold reason. In the first place, all that is added to the Primitive is in most cases a different Radical, with which the learner is supposed to be familiar. And, in the second place, as the Radical often gives a general idea of the primary meaning, scope is given for the operation of the Law of Association — a law which works most powerfully in the study of hieroglyphics. As an illustration take the character (^) i^co, meaning to wrap. Having learnt its form and meaning, it is no great effort to remember that with the icater ( y') radical it forms (^^) p'ao, to soak ; with the foot ( g ) radical (|^) p'ao, to run ; with the hand (t}') radical (|g) pao, to embrace ; with the clothes ( | ) radi- cal (H) p'ao, a gown ; and with the food (^) radical {^) pao, satisfied. Or again : if (/^) ling, a law, is learnt, it is easy to recollect that with the addition of ( P) mouth it makes (^) mliig, to command ; with ( ^ ) if^icie (^) leng^ cold; with {^) head (^) /my, to lead, and with (^) raindrop {^) ling, a fragment;. 747769 PREFACE- Tlie principle might be wielely illustrated, but if a beginning is thus made, dissecting characters becomes a habit, which materially aids the memory to retain them. The characters are arranged under radicals and are defined. Immediately under each character the sound, meaning and tone are given of what is left when the radical is removed. Such characters as are derived from this remaining part are added, the Avord "Hence," indicating this fact. In some cases, where it is impossible to say of what the characters are composed, it has been thought more advisable to let them speak for themselves, than to give the reins to imagination regarding them. On such matters the wildest flights of fancy have been exercised. Many characters have a general similarity, while some differ from others by fi dot or a stroke only. In such instances it is very easy to mistake one character for another. In the case of those of the first class, the word *' Compare " is used to call attention to them ; while those of the second class are indicated by the word "Distinguish." Attention to this point will greatly facilitate accuracy in study. As may be supposed, the same words constantly recur under different characters which have the same Primitives. The value of this is, that it familiarises the student with the sight and construction of many of the commonest characters in the language every time he uses the book, and helps to impress them upon his memory almost without an effort. The definitions of all derived characters are necessarily terse. But as many oi: them occur in other parts of the book as separate and fully defined characters, the fuller meaning may easily be ascertained. "Where this is not the case, a jiative teacher will be able to give further explanation. They will thus form subjects for conversation on many topics. All phrases are grouped under the character with which they begin. This facilitates reference ; while having a straight line to represent the first character, makes the succeeding one stand out with greater distinctness. Some expressions will be found which are not contained in the New Testament. These have been added because of their general utility, and as being valuable in common intercourse. Had the scope of the book permitted. their number might have been almost indefinitely increased. The large characters have ione marks attached : the derivatives are numhered 1, 2, ?) and 4 to indicate in the following order the first Four Tones : shang-p^ hicj (Jl ^ M-\ hsia-p'inf/ (f ^ Tgj, sltang-s/icng (_t ^), li' ii-sheng (-^ ^). The Fifth Tone, ruh-s/ifng (/\^ g), is indicated by a final "/j." The abbreviation N. A. stand> tor "Numerary Adjunct." The number of the radicals and the number of strokes in the character are placed at the top of the page. The words "Interchanged with" and "Used with," found in the definition of some characters, indicate that the character which follows them has the same sound and meaning as the one defined. I'UEl'ACE. It may not be without interest to mention that tbe number of different characters in the Peking version of the New Testament i3 2,304. These are distributed in the following order :— Matthew 1,4'JO Eplieaiaiis 17 ! Hel)ie\v3 27 Mark 10,'i Philippiaiis 9 | The Epistle of James !> Luke 217 Colossians 5 j I. I'eter... !» John 8.") I. Thessalonians 7 ! II. Petei- 4 The Acts 172 II. Thessalonians | I. John Kpistle to the Romans ... 51 I.Timothy 6 j II. John I I. Corinthians 41 II. Timothy 14 III. John (► II. Corinthians 10 Titus 1 | Judo 2 (Jalatians S i Philemon 1 Revelation 68 Making a grand total of 2,304. The Four Gospels alone, it will be observed, contain 1,834 — nearly eighty per cenl". — of this number. An Index of Chanicters, and an Index of Names of Persons and Places follow the Vocabulary. Both are arranged alphabetically for convenience of reference. The former should form a valuable test exercise in characters and tones. Appended will be found Brief Notes on some Common Characters and Idioms. These are the outcome of private reading, and are given with a view to supplement the definitions found in the Vocabulary. Many of the commonest and most frequently recurring characters are perhaps the most difficult to define. Certain shades of meaning and modes of use cannot be referred to in a brief definition : the Notes are added to help to make up this deficiency. The plan pursued has been to go carefully through the New Testament, noting and giving the places where such characters and idioms as might present diflSculty to the beginner occur. A comparison of their use cannot fail to be helpful, and may be useful in forming the habit of collecting examples of similar characters, with a view to understand their force, and the principles that underlie their use. The Notes are merely suggestive, not exhaustive. They are intended to be iiupplementary to the information given in such elementary works as a beginner generally uses. They Avill, it is hoped, enable him successfully to use such a vocabulary as he needs in imparting Christian truth. To make the unseen real, to make spiritual things live before the Chinese, is not an easy task. But it is simplified, if words conveying unusual ideas are skilfully manipidated ; a good deal of the strangeness is removed if the apples of gold are set in fillets of silver. Time was, when some of us had to climb the heights of a religious vocabulary over bales of merchandise, boxes of tea and chests of opium. This day, we trust, is passing away, as it is now becoming generally recognised that the study of the New Testament has a distinctly edticative power. Its diction is simple, its idiom plain, and it is remarkable how large is its vocabulary of subjects not directly religions. He who thoroughly masters it, has laid in a good stock of words PREFACE. ou subjects both secular aud sacred. Besides, it seetns oa the whole, bettor lo t'uruish the youug missionary with a selection of terms, which , will enable him as soon as possible to teach and expound the Gospel of Christ. In his own tonguo his fullest and most helpful experiences cluster round it. His thoughts have been moulded, his heart enriched by it. Filled with desire to win the Chinese to Christ, and anxious to communicate the only knowledge which gives life eternal, he should be aided to do so at the earliest possible date. If his vocabulary crystallize round the chief subject in his mind, and his tongue be loosed to speak of it, many words on other subjects will soon be added. As with increasing freedom he sets forth the riches of Christ, he will find at the same time a fulness of utterance on such subjects as he needs to illustrate his glorious theme. The preparation of the book has been a labour of love — a labour which will have an abundant reward, if young missionaries are thereby enabled in any measure to exalt into His own peerless and unique position, above all system.^! of false philosophy and religion, Him, Who is not only the Light of Asia, but also tlie Light of the World.

Is used to introduce a 1X=% subject, either calling spe- cial attention to it, or denoting emphasis : Matt. vi. 30 ; viii. 26 ; Lk. sviii. 13. In some combinations it indicates con- tempt ; when so used in direct address it is commonly preceded by a pronoun: Acts vi. 14 ; xix. 26. h. In many connections it simply= •• the." This is specially the case when it follows an adjectival clause qualifying a noun : Acts xvii. 3, 19. c. (^ ^) following an enumeration of events, or a statement of several things= "all the foregoing ; the above-mentioned" : Acts XX. 19. d- iM I3§) or (US 1$) follows a proper noun or pronoun without (5^) and=" the statements or sayings of the one in ques- tion : " Jhn. ii. 21 ; Acts xvii. 18. e. (it m m ^)=" looked at in this light ; regarded from this point of view : " Matt. xix. 6. /• (xl Wi WL 2jO comes at the conclusion of an argument, or statement of a case, and is the equivalent of " the matter standing thus ; since this is the case ; it being so ; " etc. : Acts ii. 36 ; Rom iii. 1 ; V. 18. t~| a. (J^ 0) occurs after a state- ^> ment of the difficulties of a certain position or course of action, and indicates, ''the ,best and only thing to :" Mk. i. 45. I). (5^ ^f^) is used in a similar manner, and=" the only alternative ; shut up to one lino of things " : Lk. xviii. 5 ; Acts xxi. 14, 35. c- (J>, ^) is used in direct address as the equivalent of " the only thing that need concern you ; the only thing to be thought of without any protest or argu- ment: " Matt. i. 20 ; Acts ix. 15. •^^ This is generally used with TO (^).or (jn) followed by {^). The whole expression='' spoken witli re- ference to ; concerning ; " or, " in allusion to : " Jhn. i. 23 : Rom. ix. 12, 27. ^^ The meaning of this character, ,~T% "to arrive at, to come to", is preserved in the constantly recurring phrase (^ J5^). This is used in two senses : — a. As an introductory particle, bringing forward either a new thought, or a starting point in an argument; "now, to come to :" 1. Cor. iv. 3; xiv. 29. h. To shew the result of certain courses of actiou=" to reach such and such a position ; to come to such and such a pass." Used in this sense it is most common- ly preceded by the characters (,^ ^): 1. Cor. xi. 31 : 2. Cor. iv. 9 ; v. 3. •^^ Followed by (-S) or {^) does P^ not need to be translated. The expressions (^ fi) and (ff ^) are only used as polite expressions to indicate respect in direct address, as the equivalent of "Sirs, Grentlemen ; etc." The same is true of the phrase (?ij fi) : Acts. ii. 37 ; vii. 2 ; xiv. 15 ; xxii. 1. )^^ 'A completed view "= a mind already made up ; a standard already set up ; a course of action decided on beforehand: 1. Tim. V. 21. n^ Care should be taken in the HO use of (p^' |g) and y^fl): the former is used when speaking of men 252 BEIEF NOTES ON SOME COMMON CHARACTERS AND IDIOMS. or cats feeding; the latter of pigs, dogs, etc. : Matt. viii. 30 ; Lk. xi. 38. 1^^ Tiiis character meaning " to |t^ remove," is used with (^ ::^;=" witli the exception of ; besides there is no " At times (Jt^ ^[^) or (i ^h) is used as a complement of (f|^ "J*) without affecting the seuse : Matt. xi. 27; xiii. 57; 2. Cor.' ii. 2. i^[^ ^^P^ ^s it is a usual thing I^~* Jq^ for beginners to use the one word (^) as the equivalent of the English word '' to wear," and to employ it with equal latitude, we shall give under this head a list of such words as are applied to the wearing of different articles of dress. a. (^) is used as a general term in the expression (^ ^ ^g), "to dress"; but is applied more particularly to the pown, shoes and jacket : Matt, xxvii. 31 ; Lk. XV. 22 ; Acts xii. 8. ^- iW^ is employed in speaking of any- thing worn on the head, whether literally or fiu;uratively ; and also of spectacles [Wk M)' ^i'^tt. xxvii. 29; Rev. xix. 12. c. (^) is applied to the girdle and strings of leggings (^ |f|) : Matt. iii. 4; Lk. xvii. 8. d. (|;^) is used of anything hastily thrown round the body in a loose and careless fashion : Mk. xiv. 51 ; Lk. x. 13 ; Jhn. xxi. 7. e. (^)=to cover over, as a garment worn over another ; such a garment being called a (^ ^). The character occurs in this sense in the exj)ression "covered with sackcloth and ashes:" Lk. x. 13; 2. Cor. iii. 13. /. (^) meaning " to slip over," is used of ring, leggings or anything slipped on ; in which sense it is often interchang- ed with (^). It is also a Numerary Adjunct: Lk. xv. 22; xvii. 2; 2. Cur. V. 4. g. (^) to carry a small article. It is a[)plied to any liglit article of dress, such as a collar or a ring : Jam. ii. 2. ^S^Jg;. This character is used in so ^^ many different combinations that it is difficult always to decide its exact force; but in most cases it carries with it the idea of "manifestation" or "expression in action." Used in this sense it is applied very frequently to the emo- tions ; thus a person is said to (^ j^), "shew anger; " (^ }p f^), "shew com- passion ;" etc. : Mk. i. 41. "All," used in conjunction with (6^), from which it may be separated by a word or words =" as many as"; "all who"; "those who" ; " whosoever; " etc : Matt. v. 28 ; vii. 24 ; x. 32 ; xiii. 52; liom. ii. 7. The meaning "to turn over," is maintained in the use of this word as a conjunction; when it geuerally=i" the reverse of what one might have expected:" Matt. viii. 12; ix. 16; Mk. V. 26 ; xii. 44. /L E M To receive with both hands," ^^1^ indicates respect : Rom. xiii. 7; Ileb. ix. 25. In the common ex- pression (^ h), "to receive the will (of the Emperor)," it carries with it the idea of power, and means " to come in his name and to be empowered to act with his authority." Hence it is used in the combination (^ ^) as the equivalent of " in the name of : '' Matt, xviii. 20 ; xxi. 9 ; xxviii. 19 ; Jhn. x. 35. Joined to (fj;) it equals "to respectfully receive instruction;" i.e. to become a convert or church member : 1. Cor. ix. 1. Preceding verbs it implies self-deprecia- tion on the part of the doer, and may be rendered by any such conventional ex- pression as " I have the honour to ; " etc. In any fractional statement (^) may be regarded as the denominator ; its power being determined by the preceding numerator, as {zi_^ ^ — ), " three-tenths of unity," whicli=l jen of 3 fen, or \ x |=1. Thus (+ ^ ^ — ); K%^^ — )=To> To^tiTj- Hence ^ 253 BRIEF NOTES ON SOME COMMON CHARACTERS AND IDIOMS. it will be seen that not only decimal fractions but any fractional number can be expressed in tbis way. In the simple form, as f^ ^); (^ ^); fen is understood=:a feiub ; ,-^o' f'o : Matt. xxiii. 23 ; Heb. vii. 2, 8 ; liev. vi. 8 ; viii. 7. "To submit" includes the idea of cordial agreement or acquiescence with a person or bis state- ments ; and full acceptance of bis direc- tion or control. Hence one person is said to (/Jg) anotber, when he places confidence in him ; (/f> ^||) conveys the opposite meaning : Jbn. vi. 61. >^- In addition to the ordinary "^^^ meaning of "to repay" (Mntt. xviii. 2^) ; it may be helpful to j><)te that (j£) has several other mean- ings. a. In addition to the main statement it introduces something supplementary and= "■further, yet, in addition :" (j§ ^ — ' ^ f^, " another point ; a further considera- tion ^''{'MM'^Wilt &5)="what more is there to be said on the subject?" Matt. xix. 20, 21 ; Mk. viii. 31 ; Kom. viii. 31 ; ix. 23 ; 1. Cor. vii. 12, 29. h. After a comparative=" much more ; many more : " Matt. xi. 22 ; xii, 45 ; xviii. j 13 ; xxi. 36. | c. Repeated either with or without (^) j expresses an alternative, "cither | or:" Matt. xvii. 25 ; xxi. 25. d.

M;;0 An hypothesis being y\u granted, this expres- sion is used to introduce and emphasize the logical deduction : Matt. vii. 11 ; Rom. xi. 24 ; 1. Cor. vi. 3 ; 2. Cor. iii. 8.
