Summary: "Lion and Dragon in Northern China" by Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides a detailed exploration of Weihaiwei, a territory in northern China that has been under British rule. Johnston aims to delve into the history, traditions, and social practices of the local Chinese population, offering insights into a distinct aspect of Chinese culture and life that may be overlooked in broader surveys of the country. At the start of the book, Johnston sets the stage by discussing the relatively recent history of Weihaiwei under British control, referencing significant events such as its cession to Britain following the Sino-Japanese War. He emphasizes the unique cultural and social characteristics of the inhabitants, portraying Weihaiwei as a microcosm of Chinese society where traditional practices may continue to thrive despite foreign influence. The introduction outlines his intentions for the book, indicating a desire to move beyond political discourse and focus instead on the day-to-day life of the local populace, including their customs, beliefs, and resilience amid changes brought by external powers.
