Note: If you finish early write 3-5 questions for your partner

Page 39: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

Introduction1. Who was Lin Zexu?2. What did he write?3. What do you think the purpose of his letter

was?

Page 40: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

1. But after a long period of commercial intercourse (trade), there appear among the crowd of barbarians both good persons and bad. Consequently there are those who smuggle opium to seduce the Chinese people and so cause the spread of the poison to all provinces (states). Such persons who only care to profit themselves, and disregard (ignore) their harm to others, are not tolerated by the laws of heaven and are hated by human beings. His Majesty the Emperor, upon hearing of this, is in a towering rage. He has especially sent me, his commissioner, to come to Kwangtung, to investigate and settle this matter.

Page 41: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

Paragraph 11. What is the purpose of Lin Tse-Hsu’s letter to Queen Victoria?

Page 42: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

Paragraph 12. What word does Lin Tse-Hsu use instead of the word foreigner? What does this tell you about the Chinese attitude towards outsiders?

Page 43: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

2. I have heard that the smoking of opium is very strictly forbidden by your country; that is because the harm caused by opium is clearly understood. Since it is not permitted to do harm to your own country, then even less should you let it be passed on to the harm of other countries -- how much less to China!

Page 44: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

Paragraphs 2-5There are 4 moral arguments made by Lin Tse-Hsu against the Opium trade and/or for stopping the Opium trade. Choose 3 to explain. Identify the paragraph where you find the argument.

Paragraph 2

Page 45: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

3. Suppose there were people from another country who carried opium for sale to England and seduced your people into buying and smoking it; certainly your honorable ruler would deeply hate it. We have heard (heretofore) that your honorable ruler is kind. Naturally you would not wish to give unto others what you yourself do not want.

Paragraph 3

Page 47: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

4 Of all that China exports to foreign countries, there is not a single thing which is not beneficial to (good for) people: they are of benefit when eaten, or of benefit when used, or of benefit when resold. Is there a single article from China which has done any harm to foreign countries? Take tea and rhubarb, for example; the foreign countries cannot get along for a single day without them.

Paragraph 4

Page 49: Lin zexu ppt_proficiency

5. We have further learned that in London, Scotland, Ireland, and other places, no opium has been produced. Only in several places of India under your control has opium been planted from hill to hill. For months and years work is continued in order to accumulate the poison. The obnoxious odor ascends, irritating heaven and frightening the spirits. Indeed you, O Queen, can eradicate (get rid of) the opium plant in these places, hoe over the fields entirely, and sow in its stead the five grains [millet, barley, wheat, etc.]. Anyone who dares again attempt to plant and manufacture opium should be severely punished. This will really be a great, benevolent government policy that will increase the common weal and get rid of evil.
